You can also enjoy Ship Eats - Virgin Voyages’ upgraded room service - from the comfort of your stateroom. With a curated menu featuring favourites from various venues and a wide selection of drinks, it’s a convenient option for a small additional fee and far more reasonable than similar services on other cruise lines.

Facilities
Virgin Voyages’ “Vitamin Sea” philosophy encourages sailors to relax and play by day and party by night — or, as they put it, “detox and retox.” Brilliant Lady offers ample ways to embrace this lifestyle, from bar-lined decks and plentiful sun loungers to the B-Complex outdoor gym for solo workouts, the Athletic Club for group classes, and a basketball court for friendly competition. When evening arrives, indulgence takes centre stage with exceptional dining, lively bars, and entertainment venues open late into the night. For those seeking something more exclusive, Richard’s Rooftop provides RockStar and Mega RockStar sailors with a private, panoramic alfresco lounge complete with a dedicated bar.
Adding to the “Vitamin Sea” experience, Brilliant Lady features an impressive range of wellness and leisure facilities. The Tune Up spa offers pampering treatments, while The Groupie provides private karaoke booths perfect for singing sessions with friends. Gamers will enjoy The Arcade, stocked with both modern machines and retro classics, and Squid Ink gives sailors the chance to commemorate their voyage with a tattoo. Combined with the ship’s many entertainment venues, these amenities ensure you’ll have more than enough ways to stay entertained and rejuvenated throughout your sea days aboard this remarkable ship.
