New Year's Eve celebration

Find your NYE vibe at sea

Another year is almost in the books, and you know what that means. It’s time to figure out your plans for the big night. You could do the same old thing — an overcrowded bar, a house party that ends too early, or watching the ball drop from your couch. Or… you could swap the same-old for the sail-away and ring in the New Year on a Virgin Voyages cruise.

This isn’t just any New Year's Eve party. We’re turning our lady ships into distinct sonic experiences, each with a curated musical identity designed to be the soundtrack for your midnight moment. We've handpicked incredible live acts for each of our NYE Caribbean itineraries, so you can choose the vibe that feels right for you. Ready to find your beat?

Match Your Vibe to a Musical NYE Cruise

Forget resolutions for a night and get lost in the music. We’ve paired each of our four lady ships with a unique musical act that complements her itinerary and energy. Whether you’re looking for throwback jams that bring back all the feels or an all-night dance party, we have a New Year’s celebration with your name on it. From our home ports in Miami and San Juan, your perfect end-of-year escape is waiting.

For the All-Night Dancer: Scarlet Lady

If your ideal New Year’s involves losing yourself on the dance floor until the sun comes up, Scarlet Lady is your ship. We’re bringing the high-energy pulse of Miami to the high seas. MADDS will be spinning electrifying sets, creating the perfect atmosphere for a classic NYE dance party under the stars. It’s the ultimate short escape to send off the year with a bang.

For the 90s Kid at Heart: Resilient Lady

Get ready to sing your heart out. Resilient Lady is taking you back to the golden era of pop, rock, and R&B. Throwback band Empire Records is bringing the ultimate 90s party to the Caribbean, delivering massive dance floor moments and sing-along energy. Grab your friends, dust off your best 90s-inspired look, and relive the glory days as you sail into the new year.

For the Tropical Rhythm Lover: Valiant Lady

Let the rhythm move you on this vibrant celebration departing from San Juan. Valiant Lady is set to host an unforgettable Latin-infused party with Fondo Blanco. Their infectious energy perfectly matches the tropical vibes of the Caribbean islands you’ll be exploring. It’s the ideal choice for those who want to celebrate with passion, flavor, and a whole lot of sunshine.

For the Funk & Soul Seeker: Brilliant Lady

For those looking for a longer, more soulful getaway, step aboard our newest ship, Brilliant Lady, for her first-ever New Year's sailing. The Main Squeeze will be serving up a masterful blend of rock, funk, and soul, creating a sophisticated and feel-good atmosphere. It’s a celebration crafted for those who appreciate timeless music and want to ring in the New Year with style and groove.

More Than Just a Midnight Countdown

The music is just the beginning. Your New Year's Eve celebration cruise is packed with more epic moments. You'll find special party favors waiting in your cabin to get the festivities started right. Onboard, the ship will be buzzing with a festive atmosphere, from special culinary options to fuel your night to a ship-wide countdown celebration. And when it’s time for the main event, you can pre-order champagne for a perfect midnight toast.
