Is there a dress code on Virgin Voyages?

Dress like you on our exclusively adult voyages You can wear whatever you want. Think of it this way: our dress code is whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Maybe that's a suit and tie. Maybe that's a jogging suit, gym attire, or a bathrobe.



Virgin Voyages has famously "thrown the dress code overboard," opting for a "come as you are" philosophy that contrasts with traditional formal nights found on other cruise lines. Sailors are encouraged to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable, whether that is a swimsuit and flip-flops, gym attire, or a glittery evening gown. There are no mandatory black-tie events or formal dining requirements; however, many guests choose to dress up for "date nights" at specialty restaurants like The Wake or for themed shipwide parties. The most notable event is Scarlet Night, where the unofficial dress code is simply "something red," ranging from casual t-shirts to elaborate costumes. While the environment is exceptionally relaxed, the line does kindly ask that sailors wear footwear while inside the ship and more than just a bathing suit when dining in the various restaurants. This adult-only cruise experience is designed for self-expression, meaning "your style is your style," and the only real rule is to stay considerate of the shared community spaces.

Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady review: It's no wonder kids are banned on this adults-only cruise.

MORE DETAILS

Valiant Lady is a near identical sister to Scarlet Lady. So, if you're familiar with Scarlet you'll know exactly how she's laid out and what to expect. In truth, not much has physically changed between the two ? mostly, there are little tweaks here and there, but the majority of people would not even notice these.

Dinner or “smart casual” attire If you're having dinner in the main restaurant or any meal at one of the specialty restaurants, you'll follow a “smart casual” dress code on most nights. This means long pants, jeans, a dress or skirt, a stylish top, or a button-down.

Getting laid on a cruise is not as easy as it may seem. First, you need to make sure that you are in the right place at the right time. Cruise ships usually have designated areas for singles and couples, so be sure to check out those spots first.

Many first-time cruisers don't realize that they won't be able to go directly to their staterooms upon boarding. Pass the time while you wait for your room to be ready and for the ship to set sail by enjoying lunch on the Lido Deck of the ship. This is a great way to make sure you aren't starving by dinner time!
