Miami, FL - July 17, 2026 - Calling all amateur sleuths and podcast devotees: the case is officially reopened. Virgin Voyages is bringing back its True Crime Voyage, and the Sailors who asked for a second sailing are getting one. Departing from Miami aboard Scarlet Lady on March 20, 2027, the five-night voyage calls at Grand Turk and the Beach Club at Bimini. This popular voyage is part of the On Air at Sea collection and features iHeartMedia podcasts Disgraceland, Buried Bones and Wisecrack leading the investigation.
The first True Crime Voyage, which debuted in October 2025, brought a fandom built on headphones and late-night listening face to face with its favorite hosts. Sailors came back asking for more, and this second edition delivers a fresh lineup and a warm Caribbean backdrop that makes cold cases a lot easier to discuss.
Sailors can expect live podcast recordings, behind-the-scenes sessions, exclusive meet-and-greets and true crime-themed Happenings, all aboard a kid-free, award-winning Lady Ship from Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best mega-ship ocean cruise line four years running. The suspense stays on the stage. The sunshine, the indulgence and the Virgin Voyages way of doing things stay everywhere else.
