WE’RE DROPPING THE MIC IN 2023
With two ships sailing and Resilient Lady joining us in May, we have so much on deck for our entertainment lineup this year.
Pick up where you left off…
Your vacation awaits — don’t let these voyages sail away.
Turning it up in 2023
Our aim has always been to give you an incredible variety of options aboard all our lady ships — meaning no matter where you’re sailing, there’s something new to see and experience. Whatever your vacation speed (early risers or night owls), there's always something to match your vibe.
Introducing our Supper Club Series
The romance and the panache are back, because The Manor is no longer just the best night club at sea — we’re bringing back the style and sophistication of classic supper clubs with new and exhilarating shows paired with an unmatched dining experience. It’s where cabaret meets theatrical. Where glam meets gastronomy. And it kicks off with Another Rose on Resilient Lady (with many more shows to follow).
A Festival Stage like no other
With everything from laugh-till-you-cry comedy performances to unbelievable magic tricks, captivating tales to improvised live performances, our Festival Stage will feature new talent and performers every few weeks. Starting in February with hand-picked originals led by an eclectic cast already known for their unlimited talent (and wildly comical past), keep an eye on our app and social platforms for updates on exactly who you’ll be seeing.
Live music everywhere
Music is part of our DNA. From Virgin Records' early days, we’ve been nurturing the best talent and turning up-and-coming acts into household names. And we’re turning up the volume and celebrating our roots with incredible new musical talent joining us for limited residencies on every sailing. With more live music all over the scene, there’s always beat to rock and roll (and sway) to.
Extending your favorites
Based on your feedback, Duel Reality and UNTITLED DANCESHOW PARTYTHING will keep the energy rolling on the waves. These fan faves, featuring our amazing casts, constantly bring the heat to every performance — so even if you’ve seen it once, the energy, brought alive with the help of a new group of Sailors like you, is markedly different each time you see it.
Those epic late nights
From our drenched-in-red full-ship takeover on Scarlet Night to any of our vibrant nightclub parties (like Heartbeat and the funkadelic Studio 72), our award-winning nightlife brings the heat and the beat across the fleet — whether you’re dancing under the night stars or strutting your way into the shimmering halls of The Manor. And 2023 is getting fancy (literally, in some cases) with our newest soirées at sea.
WEAR A SPLASH OF RED
Scarlet Night
Welcome to Scarlet Night — an immersive celebration of the fabled love between the mysterious Goddess of the Sea and the Sailor who won her heart. Throughout the evening, the entire ship is transformed into a menagerie of delights and epic experiences. Through pop-up circus performances, interactive games, karaoke, myth-telling, and live music, come pay tribute to a love that washed the world scarlet — culminating in a drenched-in-red pool and dance party unlike anything you've ever seen.

UNDER THE STARS
PJ Party
Because the name of the game is comfort, the dress code is simple: wear pajamas. Cozy PJs, zany PJs, even onesies — all styles welcome. Surprises will unravel through the night as you party with divas, rock stars, your best friends, and your new friends. There are plenty of comfy places to lounge, so snag a spot to cool off between dance numbers.

UNTITLED DANCESHOW PARTYTHING

It’s a Ship Show!
With The Manor transforming into a supper club, enjoy a bit of nostalgia with a twist (naturally) in this old-school variety hour meets late-night talk show mash-up. Featuring a menu of delicious food, live music, comedy, exclusive performances, and a bit of the unexpected — this show is the SHIP.

Grab who you came with, who you just met, or talk to that one person who keeps making eyes at you and groove it out like the voyage will never end.
Heartbeat
Brought to you by the House of Yes from Brooklyn, Heartbeat is an epic dance party — a celebration of artistic expression through our mirrored halls and into The Manor. With mixes of house, groove, funk, pop, and disco on the dance floor — no matter what your favorite era of music is, you'll hit the dance floor knowing you'll get to vibe to it.

Mind Mangler: Member of the Tragic Circle
Following a disappointing two-night run at a motel conference center, the Mind Mangler’s new two-man show solo spectacular is predicted to spiral into chaos as he attempts to read Sailors’ minds. Created by MISCHIEF, the multi award-winning team behind the sold-out global smash hit The Play That Goes Wrong and comedy series The Goes Wrong Show, this hilarious new comedy is a "a guaranteed night of laugh-filled, mind-bending silliness that will leave audiences gasping for breath".

On your next voyage
We have so much on deck for our entertainment lineup this year.
Spill the Beans
Anyone can taste and compare coffee flavors — so we’re raising the (coffee) bar with an interactive cupping class for you to experience the tasting process used by industry professionals and transform your daily caffeine-fix ritual forever. Learn the nuances and intricacies of different hand-selected varieties from all around the world in an authentic cupping class curated by Intelligentsia Coffee at The Grounds Club.
Salty Trivia
The Gamer compiles the best of pop culture, history, current events and beyond in a multi-round trivia event that he’s uniquely created. Each team will have a booklet to fill out for each round of 10 questions. But this isn’t your average trivia game—the highly curated, weirdly specific genres cater to the weird, the wacky and the nerdy among us—expanding beyond generations and giving you the freshest, funniest brain-twisters you can find on the open ocean (or anywhere, for that matter).
Mix it Up
Watch our bartenders compete for your heart on a spirited mix-off, vote on the winners for each round, and crown a champion at the end — but with six different taster cocktails to try, snacks to munch, and music to dance to, no one's going home empty-handed. Stick around afterward for a mixer.
VHS (Videos/Headbands/Simmons)
In this Sailor-favorite, over-the-top flashback to the golden age of exercise videos and 80s personalities, the Balancer will get you moving and grooving to a throwback soundtrack full of well-known, high-energy dance anthems and inspire you to dance (with somebody) and "feel the hee-eee-eeaat.”
Grog Walk
This traveling-pub-crawl-slash-moving-party begins then weaves you through the ship’s can't-miss bars and spots. You'll enjoy a bevvie and snack (on us) at one of our four stops — with special missions at each locale.
Rice, Rice Baby
Grab your chopsticks because, in this interactive demonstration at The Test Kitchen, you’ll get a taste of the ancient art of sushi-making, learn how to select sushi-grade fish, understand the correct way to forge a sushi knife, and get our top-secret sticky-seasoned-rice recipe. After all the tips and techniques you’ll master, you’ll go home ready to host the most epic sushi roll dinner party.
WHAT OUR SAILORS ARE SAYING
Best cruise for Adults
The best thing to me was the Entertainment, the shows were fantastic, and original, and they carried a good and fun message. An honorable mention to the events that feature things to make people meet each other.
Shows are just fantastic
The entertainment area is where Virgin really shines. Forget about lame comedians, smarmy nightclub singers, or juggling acts...every show we went to was simply spectacular.
A very unique experience!
On the plus side, the parties and entertainment on board were very different (no typical singing / dancing show), which was refreshing...
A Ship Full of Surprises
The entertainment was some of the most creative and fun I’ve ever experienced. The overall vibe is be yourself with no judgement and I love that.
