New Year's Eve can be fraught — in addition to a year’s worth of memories to recap, there’s another year’s worth of resolutions to make. But at the end of December for the holidays, we’re offering a chance to shake off the sense of dread and celebrate the transition to a bright new year, all in the gorgeous setting of the Caribbean.
Bring in 2025 on a New Year's Eve Cruise
Our New Year’s celebration cruises are fleetwide this year, with Scarlet and Valiant Ladies hitting the Caribbean from the Miami end, both making stops at Virgin’s exclusive Beach Club at Bimini. Valiant New Year’s Ahoy from Miami to Bimini is a quick and easy 4-night option for those looking to get back to land and start taking their new year in hand right away. Scarlet New Year’s Ahoy is a more leisurely 8-night option, making stops in Puerto Plata, San Juan, and St. Croix before cruising into Bimini and home to Miami. Last but not least, Resilient Lady is doing her thing from our new home port in San Juan, with a 7-night voyage through the southern end of the Caribbean that we’re calling — you guessed it — Resilient New Year’s Ahoy.
364 days out of the year, we embrace a come-as-you-are, dress-how-you-want onboard lifestyle. But for New Year’s Eve, we’re doing something different and asking you to go toe to toe with your gorgeous Caribbean surroundings. Show up at your finest — whatever that means to you* — and ring in the New Year with an extra dash of allure.
Kickstart 2025 the right way—fulfill your New Year’s Resolutions
The only thing tougher than coming up with good New Year’s resolutions is actually fulfilling them. There are the classics: get in shape, eat healthy, make new friends. Then there are some for the more adventurous: get outside your comfort zone, visit a new country, conquer a fear, allow yourself to indulge. No matter what your resolution might be, we’ve got you covered.
If you’ve resolved to live a healthier lifestyle in 2025, our free group workout classes, including sunrise yoga, are the perfect way to kickstart the new year the right way. Spend your mornings running around our track and playing basketball, and your evenings taking advantage of our healthy menu items and mocktails. Treat yourself to a massage or facial at Redemption Spa, our onboard haven.
If, on the other hand, your routine is already pretty healthy and you need a push to embrace a little decadence, we’re prepared to offer you a full-on shove. Dive into late-night room service snacks with Ship Eats. Meet new friends and throw back soju shots at Gunbae, our Korean BBQ, and face your performance anxiety by belting a ballad at The Groupie karaoke lounge. For travel newbies and intrepid voyagers alike, our Shore Things activities on land will help scratch your itch for adventure. Whatever your resolution might be, a New Year’s Eve cruise is the best way to get a jump on it.
An extra touch of luxe to our already-dazzling NYE plans
Yes, we offer Always Included Luxury year-round on all our sailings, even our specialized cruises, because we don’t think it’s cute to invite people on board our cruise ships and then trick them into spending money they didn’t think they’d have to. But an added advantage of Always Included Luxury is that we’re sparing you the stress of the usual New Year's planning. Want a romantic New Year’s Eve dinner? Easy, we have six sit-down restaurants with top-tier menus. Feel like ringing in the New Year with some unforgettable nightlife?
The Manor nightclub is cover-free and line-free. Want to FaceTime your loved ones on land to wish them a Happy New Year? WiFi is included. Itching to get a head start on your resolutions with a fitness class? We’ve got free group workouts on tap throughout the entire voyage. So if you believe that New Year’s Day sets the standard for the 364 days that follow, raise your glass and join us in toasting to an unforgettable start to 2025.
*To us, it means giving you one-time-only menu offerings, a photo booth to capture the memories, live music all over the ship, and more.
