Cruise Itinerary
From the art scene in Wynwood to the shores of Miami Beach, Florida's Magic City is a perfect collision of relaxation and tradition.
This multicultural city where the sun rules supreme is more than just a cruise port. Whether you're getting down at a taco shop-turned live music performance, immersing yourself in Cuban tradition in Little Havana or lounging on a yacht, Miami makes for one perfect destination.
PortMiami is Virgin Voyages home port and ships will dock at their private terminal overlooking the Miami skyline.
Relax and rejuvenate. Take a deep breath, and give yourself the gift of a little pampering. Relaxing onboard is already easy – but we’re making it even easier. Whether you’re in desperate need of a break from the kids, looking for intimate couples time, or just need some solo r&r, wellness is a cornerstone of our philosophy, and our cruise experience. Get a couples massage in our Redemption Spa, take a free sunrise yoga class, or jog around our outdoor track with stunning panoramic ocean views.
Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands of Honduras, is noted for its pristine coral reefs, beautiful beaches, lush tropical foliage, and friendly people. A diving paradise, there is easy access to the underwater marvel of the Caribbean’s largest coral reef. Ships will dock or anchor offshore in the town of Coxen Hole.
Top Things to Do on Roatan:
- look for monkeys in Gumbalimba Park Nature Reserve
- snorkel or scuba dive the reef
- go deep sea fishing
- go horseback riding on the beach
Tulum’s lesser-known sibling, Costa Maya, boasts the allure of its more popular sister, and then some. Nestled in a secluded enclave of the Mayan Riviera, Costa Maya features quaint towns, unspoiled white sand beaches, stunning blue lagoon cenotes resembling works of art, and a fascinating history to uncover. Explore the Mayan ruins, snorkel vibrant marine habitats, and breathe in the sea air that defines the essence of what makes this small Mexican city such a gorgeous locale.
Balancing sunlit mornings and effervescent nights out is par for the course on the eastern shores of Quintana Roo. Cozumel (Playa del Carmen) are famous for their rich eco-tourism and miles-long Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — home to some of the most stunning coral reef formations and sea creatures in the Caribbean. And for less experienced divers, El Cielo in Cozumel (“The Sky”) - named after its warm, azure-colored water, is a secluded sanctuary perfect for starfish-viewing or simply floating in the gentle waves with a drink in hand. With Playa del Carmen’s eclectic nightlife just across the isle and effortlessly cool Tulum only a stone’s throw away, this port serves as a gateway to all the best spots in Mexico.
On our voyages, the biggest choice you’ll have to make is: which activity do I choose tonight? From our adult-oriented performances in the Red Room to live music every single night, bookable karaoke rooms, and special activations popping up all around the ship like pub crawls and pajama parties, there’s no shortage of things to do on a cruise with Virgin Voyages.

Resilient Lady Reviews (5) Most Recent 'Resilient Lady' Reviews
Special mention goes to the fully stocked bar with top shelf spirits, bottles of Moet, white wine and beer that you're welcome to polish off as they were all included in the fare. Megarock Star Suites get their bar replenished for free, but it would take a serious drinker to get through all that was on offer. A second special mention goes to the shower. I’ll give a budget hotel 5 stars if it provides me with decent shower pressure and I don’t have to bend down to get under the shower head. Virgin has come up trumps with their rain shower and handheld attachment. There was plenty of room and the water pressure was fantastic! A final special mention relates to my particular suite – the “Cheeky Corner Suite”. While the suite wasn’t that large, the balcony was. As least as large as the cabin, with two loungers, Virgin’s trademark hammock, an outdoor couch, table and two chairs. Plenty of room to invite a few friends over for a tipple or three.
It’s not all praise however…on the first night of the cruise the Captain had the Resilient Lady powering down the east coast and my suite was shaking the whole night. I was on level 10 (and there are another 5 levels above me) so I’m unsure if they felt it too. On the second day and night the ship slowed down and it was fine. I’m assuming this was a result of being right at the back of the ship and I’m guessing on top of the engine room? It wasn’t comfortable.
As for the rest of Resilient Lady. Well, she’s brand new, so everything is spotless and clean and fresh. She’s huge, and if like me you get lost easily, you might want to bring your pedometer onboard with you – on your return you’ll be able to impress everyone with the amount of steps you made – to make up for all the food you inhaled. That’s a nice segue onto the meals onboard. We only scraped the surface with all the options available, suffice to say I think there’s something for everyone. From our freshly cooked pizza when we first got onboard, to Japanese Bento boxes of fresh fruit, hamburgers & chips, sweet treats, dinner over a Korean hot plate and the fancy Wake Restaurant in the aft. There are supposed to be 20 restaurants on board but I didn’t even get to see some of them. I also frequented two cafes to get my 4 daily double shot Flat Whites. Virgin’s cup sizes are wrong for Downunder (way to big) but with a few instructions I managed to get my barista to make them to my satisfaction. I’m pretty picky about my coffee, so most people will be more than happy. Espresso coffees are extra and come off your bar tab.
On such a short trip I didn’t get to visit the spa or gym, but they looked impressive. On the first night we went to a show – “The Rose” – which is the only show you have to pay for onboard - as it includes drinks and dinner. I’m not sure it’s for everyone, but I loved it. A visual feast for the eyes – I think it was a modern take on Romeo and Juliet, not that that mattered – but the meals and drinks are all interwoven into the show and done very cleverly. With Virgin being an adults only ship, the shows and entertainment are certainly more risqué than on a traditional cruise.
So would I recommend it – definitely yes – great value, great ship with lots to keep you entertained (I even had a go at Dodgeball!) and different to the other cruise lines out in the market. Who would I recommend it too? Virgin are at pains to point out their cruises are for everyone, you just need to be open minded and want to enjoy yourself. So yes, you’ll find 20 somethings onboard as well as 70 somethings and if you want to embrace the flamboyance of the brand you can, but equally there are lots of bars and quiet nooks where you can lose yourself in a book and escape other humans.
