I’m a Gold First Mate with Virgin Voyages – What’s That Mean for You?

Exciting news – I’ve officially achieved Gold First Mate status with Virgin Voyages! That means I’ve completed advanced training, booked with confidence, and gained insider knowledge of one of the most unique cruise lines at sea. Virgin Voyages is adults-only, boldly different, and packed with elevated experiences – perfect for couples, solo travellers, and parents looking for a well-deserved break.

What Makes Virgin Voyages So Different?

Virgin Voyages is redefining what it means to cruise. From the moment you board, everything feels fresh, modern, and just plain fun – without the crowds, buffets, or cruise clichés.

Here’s what stands out:

  • Adults-Only – every sailing is 18+, so it’s peaceful, playful, and perfect for grown-up getaways
  • No Buffets or Main Dining Rooms – instead, 20+ included eateries offer made-to-order meals (with zero extra cost)
  • Wellness Meets Indulgence – fitness classes, a juice bar, and spa co-exist happily with champagne delivery and late-night bites
  • Incredible Entertainment – immersive, edgy, and totally unlike traditional cruise shows
  • Flexible and Chill – no set dining times, no forced dress codes, and no pressure to be anywhere but where you want to be

What I Know as a Gold First Mate

As a Gold First Mate, I’ve gone through extensive training and earned recognition for booking Virgin Voyages with confidence and care. That means I can help you:

  • Choose the best ship and itinerary for your vibe (like the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or Transatlantic)
  • Pick the right Sea Terrace or RockStar Suite, depending on your budget and comfort needs
  • Understand what’s included – like gratuities, Wi-Fi, fitness classes, and all dining
  • Plan for sensory or accessibility needs, even on an adults-only cruise
  • Navigate the Virgin app and onboard experience with ease

Can Virgin Voyages Work for Travellers with Autism or Sensory Needs?

Yes – especially for autistic adults, neurodivergent travellers, or couples looking for a calm, low-pressure experience. The ships are modern and thoughtfully designed, and the vibe is relaxed but elevated. No loud announcements, no packed buffets, and lots of room to enjoy things at your own pace.

There’s also a focus on well-being, with quiet spaces like the Redemption Spa, comfy lounge areas, and accessible staterooms available. I can help you plan around the more stimulating parts of the ship and highlight the calm, comfortable spots that might suit your sensory preferences best.
