Virgin Voyages is charting a bold course for 2026, inviting First Mates (agents) to inspire Sailors (passengers) with a calendar that’s packed with immersive itineraries celebrating every season, passion and occasion at sea. From wellness to sports, from laughter to love, the coming year promises to bring unforgettable moments around the world aboard the brand’s award-winning fleet. Next year will begin with Virgin Voyages’ Wellbeing Season in January, a restorative escape where Sailors will be able to reset under Caribbean skies. February is the month of love, so Virgin Voyages will be celebrating romance across the fleet with Valentine’s Voyages, while spring brings the exclusive Red Hot Sailing Club and the much-anticipated inaugural voyage of Brilliant Lady from Los Angeles and Seattle.

A YEAR OF ADVENTURE Comedy festivals will keep spirits high from Bermuda to Bruges, while Mother’s Day sailings will celebrate the special women in Sailors’ lives. Summer months shine with global adventures tied to the Fifa World Cup, letting First Mates target sports-loving travellers keen to explore Alaska and the Caribbean. Later in the year, Sailors can chase celestial wonders on Eclipse Voyages, indulge at the onboard Eat & Drink Festival in September and embrace autumn festivities with Halloween at Sea. Glittering Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations fleet-wide will round off the year. With bold itineraries, elevated experiences and luxurious suites designed for adults, Virgin Voyages is offering First Mates the opportunity to deliver something extraordinary in 2026 – sailings that promise not just destinations, but unforgettable stories.
