🐾 Pet portraits -- including one of you and your furbaby

🔥 Selling fast: The $99 Sale. These were so popular Virgin Voyages added another drop. 🔥
Bit.ly/NoKidsCruises

With cabins from $99 per Sailor per night and limited voyages — itineraries have been flying off the proverbial shelf. But new eligible sailings have been added in 2025 so Sailors don’t feel any future FOMO — specifically more tropical getaways from Miami and San Juan (because your future self *can't wait* to escape winter chills for Caribbean thrills).

But seriously, don’t wait. Because once these voyages are gone, they're g-o-n-e.

Did you know that every Disney Cruise Line ship has a different character across the stern, and this is one of the biggest honors that a character can have? I mean I may be making up the part about it being a big honor, but I think most Disney cruisers would agree!

The announcement today of the character across the stern of Disney Destiny was a bit of a surprise, but I'm on board!

Are you ready to join the ranks of Spider-Man 🕷️, Black Panther 🖤, and Doctor Strange ✨? Find spaces inspired by these iconic Marvel Super Heroes and embark on your own adventure on the Disney Destiny!

Bookings will open next month, on September 6th, and I will also announce that day which sailing I personally will be on so you can set sail with your favorite friendly neighborhood travel agent!

🐾 today I learned I NEED a 101 dalmatians themed lounge in my life🐾
Good thing it is coming onboard Disney Destiny!

Along with more spaces themed to Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and the Aquamouse with a brand new story with ties to Fantasia!

I'll be setting sail on board Destiny for sure, probably July of 2026 for a birthday celebration at Sea - who's joining me?!?🎂

30/07/2024

🦁 start working on your roar! The first announcement about the new Disney Destiny is the New themed dining experience all about the pride lands!

We love when cruise ships, combine dinner and a show! And what better show than the first that Disney brought to Broadway?

Stay tuned for more!

Virgin Voyages is getting into the funny business. This is more than just a cruise, it’s Virgin’s first-ever comedy fest at sea. On this 5-night journey leaving Sept 14 through Amsterdam and Bruges, Sailors will spend their days exploring everything the Low Countries have to offer and their nights LOL-ing to our iconic lineup of hilarious comedians like Russell Howard. Plus they’ll enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences like The Dark Room, an immersive live-action improv video game The Guardian called “NOT TO BE MISSED.”
