Itinerary
Miami: the city where we roll out the red carpet. Bustling and colorful, edgy and artsy, our home port is a destination in and of itself.
With a sleek, modern design that blends into the surrounding cityscape, Terminal V is a sparkling facility that makes boarding a breeze. Perched on the Port of Miami’s northwest side, its impressive 100,000-square-foot space is large enough to accommodate efficient boarding for all our Sailors, with separate areas for luggage drop-off, and quick boarding to experience smooth sailings for cruises from Miami.
Terminal V is located at 718 N. Cruise Blvd, Miami, FL 33132. In the Sailor app, select an arrival time slot so we know when to welcome you with open arms. (To avoid wait times, we advise you not to arrive before your scheduled time.)
With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment you’ll experience on board is something you’ve never seen before. It’s wild. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a full-on extravaganza. And it couldn’t be anything else. Digging deep into our musical roots, we’ve collaborated with the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists to create the live entertainment only a Virgin brand could.
Tucked between the Cordillera Mountains and Atlantic coast, Puerto Plata embodies geographical duality at its best. A day here can include vegging out on the snow white beaches of Playa Dorada, or hiking through the jungle to the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua and careening down via natural slides. Or you can jump right in. We won't tell you how to live.
San Juan's picturesque cobblestone streets, plazas and chapels reflect its Spanish heritage. But the second oldest city in the Americas also boasts fine beaches, lush rainforests, verdant mountainsides, imposing forts and a lovely tropical climate. Ships will dock at this port.
Top Things to Do in San Juan:
- explore the El Yunque Rainforest
- visit the Bacardi Rum Distillery
- visit Fort Cristobal and the Old Town
- play a round of golf at the Palmes del Mar Golf Resort
- sail in San Juan Bay
The largest of the British Virgin Islands, Tortola boasts famed natural wonders like The Baths at Virgin Gorda, where giant granite boulders dot a white-sand beach filled with caves and clear seawater pools. But Tortola isn’t just about beaches - it’s home to Sage Mountain National Park which boasts the highest peak of all the 50+ Virgin Islands (US and British), and features multiple hiking trails that give way to breathtaking panoramic viewpoints.
Road Town is located on Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands. The island is known for its shimmering beaches, oleander and hibiscus-covered mountainsides, and quaint towns tucked along coves. This early home to Blackbeard maintains its pirate legacy and rum-making traditions today. Ships will dock or anchor in Road Town Harbour.
Top Things to Do on Tortola:
- snorkel Anegada, the BVI’s only coral island
- hike Sage Mountain
- explore the Baths at Virgin Gorda
- take a catamaran to Jost Van Dyke Island
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.
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. Along Ocean Drive in South Beach, pastel facades from the 1930s glow beneath the Florida sun, while nearby Little Havana hums with domino parks, cigar shops, and the aroma of Cuban coffee. Beyond the shoreline, calm waters, yacht marinas, and breezy promenades frame a city shaped by Caribbean rhythms and sunlit coastal glamour.

From our very first enquiry through read more to departure, Grace was attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. When we had questions about upgrading our cabin, she explored every option for us. When we queried the price difference and asked about sailor loot credits, she went straight to the Virgin Voyages representative on our behalf — even when the answer wasn't what we hoped for, her honesty and effort were truly appreciated. And when Virgin Voyages updated our disembarkation terminal in Barcelona to Terminal C at the last minute, Grace had already forwarded us the details before we even had a chance to wonder. That kind of proactive communication is what sets a great travel agent apart.
The Scarlet Lady herself was absolutely stunning. The vibe is unlike any cruise we've been on — adult-only, beautifully designed, and with a dining and entertainment experience that genuinely surprised us. The Band (that clever little wearable made from recycled ocean plastic) served as cabin key, wallet and bar tab all in one — such a clever touch that really set the tone for the whole experience.
Now, we'd be fibbing if we said there were zero hiccups. One of the highlights we'd been most looking forward to was our stop in Casablanca, Morocco — so we were genuinely disappointed to learn the port was closed and we wouldn't be making that call. It was the destination we'd been most excited about, and missing it was a real letdown. However, Virgin Voyages handled the situation beautifully. The communication was prompt, clear and empathetic, and in place of Casablanca we were rerouted to the gorgeous Cádiz in southern Spain. What a silver lining! Cádiz turned out to be an absolute gem — one of Europe's oldest cities, full of character, stunning architecture and warm locals. It genuinely softened the blow and left us with memories we wouldn't trade. The seamless way Virgin Voyages managed the change really impressed us and showed the professionalism of their operation.
September was a brilliant time to travel this route. The weather across Portugal and Spain was warm but not overwhelming, and the mix of destinations made for an incredibly rich itinerary. Our fellow sailors were a wonderfully diverse, warm and sociable group, and the kid-free environment meant a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere throughout.
Would we travel with Virgin Voyages again? Absolutely - without hesitation. Would we book through Global Journeys again? Without a doubt. Grace made the entire process smooth, stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're considering a Virgin Voyages cruise, do yourself a favour and reach out to Grace - you won't regret it.
Thank you Grace, and thank you Global Journeys. You helped make a truly unforgettable trip. 🌊⚓
