In five sizzling nights, you’ll enjoy Atlantis’ all-star performers, dance to the music of the world’s top DJs, share some great meals with friends in 7 awesome restaurants, and still have time to relax and soak up the Caribbean sunshine.

It’s our first holiday short sailing designed for everyone with amazing fares from just $799!

The Perfect Quick Getaway

What makes the perfect escape? How about five days filled with sunshine, leisurely days at sea, and a couple of stunning islands!

From vibrant gay-centric Miami, we’ll sail to exhilarating Nassau, where powder white sand beaches meet sparkling turquoise waters surrounded by a true island metropolis of pink buildings and endless options to explore. From world-class shopping to fabulously decadent resort experiences, there’s no place like Nassau in the Caribbean.

For a little adventure, explore enchanting Puerto Plata, where lush mountains and rushing waterfalls dare you to explore more. Its sandy beaches and colorful cityscape invite you to slow down. Soar up to the top of the Pico Isabel de Torres to get a bird’s eye view or stroll the Malecón at sea level. Technicolor Victorian facades, colonial homes and the 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe all create an unforgettable experience.

With two fantastically fun days at sea, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the myriad activities onboard with more ways to play than ever. Indulge in Virgin’s sensuous spa, take in a fitness class, relax by the pool with new friends, or just watch the ocean from your hammock. Join some of our zany activities, and don’t miss our legendary T-dances!

Everything Included. For Nothing.

Nobody likes paying for things they always use, like Wifi, basic beverages, and a terrific place for dinner. So, we don’t charge extra. Ever. Even fitness classes are included! Logon, drink up, spin a little, and enjoy!

Every fabulously original restaurant is included with more choices than any other ship at sea. All you have to do is decide whether to indulge in fresh Italian at Extra Virgin, Korean BBQ at Gumbae, an inventive tasting menu at the Test Kitchen, brunch or steak at the Wake, all-day treats at Razzle Dazzle, and so much more. And there’s no buffet in sight. Or a massive banquet-like main hall. But who needs one with all these amazing spots?

By basic beverages, we mean sodas, water, coffees, juices, and most non-alcoholic offerings. The hard stuff is, of course, extra.

We’ll Show You

You’re never far from entertainment on Resilient Lady, and sometimes you’re literally part of it! From pop-up surprises to sensual dance productions, cutting-edge DJs to thrilling cabaret performers, innovative theater to Atlantis’ incredible gay circus show. All with a little magic thrown in.

The amazing Red Room is the perfect place for Atlantis’ signature blend of singers, comics, drag queens, and so much more from our community’s most talented performers. All appear throughout the week in new and creative ways. Just don’t miss the brilliantly clever Persephone, where pop musical styles blend with erotic circus and yes classic Greek storytelling. You’ll have to see it to fully understand!

There’s no venue at sea like The Manor – part cabaret space, part nightclub, and always alive with a unique energy. The outrageously wild Another Rose will take your breath away with a mind-bending interactive show filled with spectacle, bubbling with humor, and fueled by non-stop drinks. Our Atlantis cabaret stars fill out the lineup with a parade of gay comics, outrageous drag performers, and dazzling singers.

All Feet On Deck

TThere’s never been a pool deck so perfectly designed for the Atlantis style of free-spirited dancing under the sun and stars. From our signature-themed t-dances to outrageous nighttime parties, we’ll present the world’s finest DJs with a production unlike anything you’ve ever seen filled with dazzling lighting, endless lasers, and plenty of special moments. After all, this ship was built for a party like ours! All we can say is wait until you’re in the middle of it all.

Indoors, we’ll host fabulous parties in both The Manor’s sizzling nightclub and Red Room. Virgin gives us the ideal venues to craft thrilling events in new and exciting ways.

The Best Deal at Sea. Or Land.

Make this Thanksgiving one you’ll never forget with 2800 new friends as we sail from Miami for five days and nights of serious fun!

Let’s Make Waves. The Virgin Voyages Story

Virgin Voyages was conceived with a simple idea in mind – redefine what a luxury cruise ship can be to create a radically fun new way to sail. Before a single ship was built, a deeply engaging sailor experience was crafted with an eye towards the future, focused on fun & freedom, discarding legacy cruise elements deeply rooted in the past. Breakthrough design creates a visually stunning and fabulously functional playground, and innovative approaches to entertainment, dining, and wellness will delight you in ways you never imagined.

We think Virgin has created the perfect ship for the Atlantis way to sail, allowing us to offer a bold and unique experience with a sense of freedom and playfulness that you simply won’t see anywhere else.

After all, no other cruise line has full-time drag queens onboard.

Designed. For fun!

You’ll never mistake Resilient Lady for any other ship, except maybe one of her sisters. From her dramatic red and grey exterior to dazzling cool interiors, she’s the combination of the talents of world-class designers. Built to create an immersive, interactive, and playful experience everywhere.

Step onto the sleek pool deck and you’ll feel like she’s your own private yacht filled with great friends and whimsical furnishings. Find your perfect setting along one of the two inviting pools, or one of the massive surrounding decks. As the day evolves, relaxing vibes give way to festive poolside playfulness, ultimately transforming into in the perfect space for Atlantis’ friendly T-dances and outrageously fun night-time parties. A unique pool cover creates a spectacular and seamless dance floor and party space unlike any other at sea.

Sample your favorite sound at Virgin Vinyl or create a new one in the private karaoke rooms. Pop a cork at the gorgeous Champagne bar after a moment of glory in the boxing ring. Relax with friends on the lux open decks of the Dockhouse. Soak up a sunset high above the ocean in the Athletic Club. Stay up way too late in the Manor, try your luck in the casino, and top it all off by raiding the galley late at night.

There’s a setting for everything and an abundance of new experiences waiting for you to explore. And all of it beautifully made for Atlantis and the way we play.

Serious Eats. Always Included.

Forget everything you know about dining at sea and indulge in a world where 18 different eateries cater to every taste and style. And forget extra charges for "specialty" dining since all food is included at every restaurant.

There’s no big dining hall where you have to queue up for a meal. Virgin’s innovative booking system lets you plan dinner where you want, when you want, with friends old and new. Atlantis will enhance our tradition of shared dining with options to meet new friends at every meal, or to dine on your own. It’s your choice and easier than ever. All with no dress code, of course.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Italian, Extra Virgin will hit the spot with a lively setting and mix of classic and contemporary options. Or share something different at Gunbae, the first real Korean BBQ at sea!

Let the masterful chefs at Test Kitchen wow you with a modern tasting menu in a sleek food-lab setting. Indulge in modern Mexican at Pink Agave, where festive drinks match outrageously delicious food.

Relax with a mezze platter and cocktail on the open decks of The Dock or indulge in a perfect steak in the sleek and sexy dining room of The Wake below.

For all-day fare with abundant vegetarian options, the bold Razzle Dazzle satisfies in new and delicious ways. You’ll be faced with even more choices at The Galley, Virgin’s take on the food hall featuring everything from tacos to poke to ramen and plenty more in between. On top of all that you’ll find freshly made pizza, fabulous ice cream, an authentic coffee house, and so much more throughout the ship.

In case you think we missed it, there’s no buffet. Just an abundance of fabulous choices including a few surprises. And yes, excellent options are available round the clock!

Fabulously Showy Venues

The transformational Red Room boasts movable seating and a flexible stage to create unique settings for Virgin’s wildly inventive production shows and Atlantis’ legendary performers. You’ll have to see it to believe it, and stick around later when we transform it into a spectacular late-night venue.

Named after Richard Branson’s first recording studio, The Manor hosts the interactive Another Rose show, and transforms into an intimate performance space for Atlantis drag queens, cabaret stars, and specialty acts. Featuring three bars, two stories, and plenty of space to dance!

Arrive Better than You Left

Sweat, relax or just be still and breathe — it's up to you. Virgin’s wellness and personal style spaces provide a proper dose of Vitamin Sea to leave you totally restored and ready for anything and everything. A state-of-the-art Technogym lineup stands ready for your moves in Build and Balance, while the Training Camp offers unlimited (and always included) group fitness classes unlike anything else at sea.

Wake up to sunrise yoga high above the ocean in The Perch or run with a view on the outdoor track.

The sleek and inviting Redemption Spa has just what you need to make your day perfect. Revitalize with an innovative treatment, or take in all the thermal suite has to offer. And for the ideal touch up, Stubble & Groom is a man’s haven that will get you in ship-shape, British style.

A New Way to Stay

Superyacht inspired stateroom design offers much more than a place to sleep. Virgin’s clever room technology and styling provide the ultimate hideaway at sea. Transform your room at the touch of a button. Mood-matching lights, a configurable and comfortable Seabed and in-cabin tech come together to make your life easier. Lounge by day, with plenty of room for friends, yet easy to convert to a bed for those times when you really do want to sleep!

If you’re looking for the suite life, Virgin’s Rockstar quarters will bring you the lifestyle you deserve. Accents of brass, stunning marble bathrooms, spacious stargazing terraces, champagne tables and exclusive treatment are yours in these VIP suites. Add a host of amenities including unlimited bar tab (for mega-Rockstar suites) for the ultimate in comfort and style!

Booking a suite unlocks access to Richard's Rooftop; the exclusive deck where elegance meets exuberance. A lavish, elaborate and members-only outdoor space for stargazing parties and pre-dinner cocktail hours for you and the other rockstars.
