It’s official — it’s a hat trick! Virgin Voyages has just been named Travel + Leisure #1 Best Mega Ship for the third year in a row — an unprecedented distinction and one that fills our sails with great pride. But this award isn't just ours to celebrate — it belongs to every single Sailor who cast their vote and shared their incredible experiences with the world.
This victory is yours, too. Your Sailors; votes, passionate reviews, glowing recommendations, and unwavering loyalty are what propelled us to the top of Travel + Leisure's prestigious rankings year after year. When you tell your Sailors about the epic entertainment, rave about our innovative dining concepts, or share photos of those breathtaking sunset moments on deck, you're not just sharing memories — you're championing the adult-only cruise experience that we've worked so hard to perfect.
What Sets Us Apart (According to Our Sailors)
Our luxurious, kids-free cruises continue to set sail past industry standards, and your feedback tells us exactly why. You and our Sailors consistently highlight our relaxed yet transformative atmosphere where they can truly unwind without interruption. From intimate conversations at The Wake to our famed Scarlet Night dance party, our ships offer the adult playground they’ve been searching for.
The numbers speak volumes: thousands of Sailors have shared their stories about discovering their new favorite restaurant at sea, finding their tribe at our inclusive events, or simply reveling in the freedom to be themselves in an environment designed so that they can have the vacation that fits their personality. These authentic experiences, shared by real Sailors, are what caught Travel + Leisure readers' attention and earned their votes — and earned them by quite a lot, as we’re thrilled to have a reader score that soars wildly past the others at 94.80.
Their Winter Playground Awaits
Get your Sailors ready to experience our thrilling, award-winning voyages this winter, when our full fleet will be sailing the Caribbean for the first time. Whether they're craving a 7-night escape to Grand Cayman and Jamaica or a quick 4–5-night getaway aboard our newest lady ship, Brilliant Lady, there are plenty of chances to sea why we're ranked #1. Sipping craft cocktails while watching the sunset paint the Caribbean sky, dining at restaurants that rival the best land-based establishments, and dancing the night away knowing that tomorrow holds another day of well-deserved, seafaring bliss — and a happy customer for you who will excitedly join us again.
A Toast to You
To every First Mate and Sailor who has shared their Virgin Voyages story, sold our experiences with vibrant enthusiasm, or simply told a friend about their transformative experience at sea — thank you. Your voices, and your advocacy, are what make this recognition so meaningful. You and your Sailors didn't just vote for us; you advocated for a new way to cruise, one that prioritizes sophistication, inclusivity, and unforgettable experiences that last a lifetime.
And as always, we’re Brilliant For You because you’re brilliant for us, meaning you’ll earn 16% commission on voyage fare, 10% on pre-voyage bookables, plus no NCFs ever!
We're committed to continuing to deliver the best experiences at sea, creating moments that inspire your Sailors to share their stories and bring others into our community. Because when you win, we all win — and this Travel + Leisure award is proof that we’re only just getting started.
