Virgin Voyages Solo Spotlight
Cruising Solo on Virgin Voyages
Discover why Virgin Voyages keeps winning “best for solo travelers” accolades, how to tap into solo Sailor rates, and the exact onboard moments that turn a personal getaway into an unforgettable social escape.
Adults-only. Inclusive. Irresistibly social.
Why Solo Sailors Love Virgin Voyages
From flexible pricing to curated meetups, Virgin’s Lady Ships remove the awkwardness from traveling alone and amplify the fun.
Reduced single supplements
Virgin Voyages regularly waives or softens the solo supplement on select cabins, giving single Sailors access to luxe staterooms without paying double.
Adult-only social scene
Curated parties, Scarlet Night theatrics, and intimate supper clubs make it easy to mingle from sail-away to sunrise.
Pre-sail connections
Private Facebook communities and the Virgin Voyages app unlock meetups before you even step aboard, so you always have a wing crew.
Solo Travel is Having a Moment
Virgin Voyages continues to appear on “best for solo travelers” lists—from the latest U.S. News & World Report roundups to industry blogs that celebrate no-kids sailings and single-friendly cabins. Research from MMGY shows one in four travelers is plotting a solo getaway within six months, and Virgin’s grown-up vibe makes it the easiest place to lean into that trend.
Psychologists note the confidence boost that comes with taking a trip on your terms. On a Lady Ship, you get that empowerment alongside a built-in community—wellness mornings, mixology classes, supper clubs, and Scarlet Night all encourage conversation without the forced icebreakers.
