Golden views with the most 5-star cruise reviews
With the most 5-star reviews on Tripadvisor, check out what Sailors are loving about sailing aboard our lady ships.
What an amazing cruise concept!
"We loved the ship and everything about it. We tried all the restaurants and it is difficult to select one as a favorite - as all had exciting menus and sooooo good food - freshly made of high-quality ingredients."
Virgin delivers cruising as only Virgin can
"This cruise was literally the best vacation we ever went on. Our cabin was spacious and the crew was amazing. The shows were unique and entertaining. The drinks were delicious and it was awesome every bar had different main cocktails so you could try new things. I highly recommend it!"
What a great time!
"This was my first cruise, and what an amazing time it was! The crew was amazing. The food was amazing! I love the places scattered around the ship to eat. Especially The Galley. Great vibe onboard. You can do as much or as little as you want to."
10/10 would recommend
"Overall everything was an amazing experience; the staff always made sure we were good and super helpful. I would recommend anyone to this cruise line over any other one. I think that you are definitely getting your money’s worth in value, in every aspect of the meaning."
Lori A. May, Insider
"Felt like a remote island oasis"
"I thought it was one of the best perks of my Virgin Voyages cruise. I enjoyed it so much, I stayed on the ship for a back-to-back sailing just so I could go back."
