Why We Think Princess Fans Might Love Virgin Voyages

If you're a loyal Princess cruiser, you may already be feeling the impact of the recent changes to their Plus and Premier packages. With fewer inclusions and more upsells, it’s no surprise that many are now exploring premium alternatives that offer better value – without the hassle.

After our recent cruise aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady in June, sailing the beautiful Corfu, Dubrovnik & More itinerary, we think Princess fans may find a new favourite in Virgin.

Just as our group of friends were about to board Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady in Piraeus, Athens.

🌊 Adults-Only – Peaceful, Stylish, and Grown-Up

Virgin Voyages is exclusively for guests aged 18 and over. That means no kids, no splash zones, and no chaotic pool decks. Instead, you'll find sophisticated spaces, stunning design, and a relaxed vibe that’s ideal for couples, friends, and solo travellers who appreciate a more grown-up cruise experience.

✅ No Confusing Packages – Just Great Inclusions

Virgin keeps things simple – no tiered fare games. Here’s what’s always included:

• All dining – 20+ eateries including fine dining, world flavours, and casual bites

• Wifi – streaming-friendly internet, ship-wide

• All tips – already covered

• Fountain sodas, still/sparkling water, teas, and drip coffee – no extra cost

• No worrying about “Plus” vs “Premier” inclusions. It’s all covered.

🍹 Reasonably Priced Drinks & Bar Tab Bonuses

Virgin doesn’t do traditional drinks packages. Instead, you can add a Bar Tab – for example, pay $300 and get $50 bonus to spend onboard. It's flexible and great value.

Drink prices are refreshingly reasonable:

• Cocktails: $11–$14

• Beer: $6–$9

• Wines by the glass: typically $9–$15 (premium selections up to $22)

• Bottles of wine: from around $28 to $1,400+

• And remember – gratuities are already included.

🚢 Our Experience on Resilient Lady

We sailed the Corfu, Dubrovnik & More itinerary in June and were genuinely impressed:

• Fast embarkation – on board in under 20 minutes

• Modern, boutique ship design with a premium feel

• Standout dining – especially Pink Agave (modern Mexican) and Extra Virgin (authentic Italian)

• Evening options for everyone – from wild parties to low-key cocktails

⚓ Is It Time to Try Something New?

If you're tired of feeling nickel-and-dimed, Virgin Voyages might be just what you need. With no kids, no tipping, no Wi-Fi charges, and all dining included, it’s a premium cruise experience without the fine print.

Think of it as effortless luxury, your way.
