  • Inside Virgin’s First ‘Adults-Only’ Ship, Where You Cruise “Like A Rock Star” [Images]

    The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions a cruise, is a group of older folks playing shuffleboard on the deck of a massive floating hotel.

    Oh, except for that one time when there multiple brawls on the “cruise from hell”.

    Generally, though, the luxury cruise industry isn’t really aimed at a younger market – until now.

    Richard Branson wants to change the game with Virgin Voyages’ first ship, the adults-only ‘Scarlet Lady’, which will depart Miami for the Caribbean in 2020.

    The ship will include 78 luxury “RockStar Suites”, which will be located on the ship’s 15th deck. These will include 15 Mega RockStar Suites, which are further divided into Massive, Fab, Posh and Gorgeous Suites.

    Perhaps they’re using names that were tossed out by the Spice Girls?

    To complete the rock star fantasy, the massive suite will feature a music room crammed full of guitars, amps, and a special private lookout point at the front of the ship.

    I can’t decide if this is the ultimate midlife crisis cruise or the ultimate Millennial Almost Famous fantasy cruise.

    Here’s CNN with more:

    It’s got a private terrace with a standing hot tub, a large “runway” table for when you’re entertaining guests and an open-air “Peek-a-View” shower that offers sea views.

    These suites come with rock star treatment as well.

    RockStar sailors — Virgin doesn’t refer to its guests as “passengers” — get private airport transfers, access to an exclusive terminal pathway and personal “rock and roll style rider sheets to satisfy even the most diva-like of requests.”

    “We wanted to inject a bit of exclusive, distinctive, luxurious feeling nostalgia in a contemporary way that speaks to today’s traveller more,” says Dee Cooper, senior vice president of design for Virgin Voyages, in a statement.
    All suite guests will have access to Richard’s Rooftop, “an exclusive chic outdoor lounge”.
    The ship, one of three planned for the near future, will weigh about 110 000 gross tons, and stretch 278 metres long and 38 metres wide.
    All of the ship’s restaurant food will be included in the fare, with no upcharges — another departure from what you’ll find on big brand ships currently plying the seas.
    Other onboard amenities include plenty of creatively designed outdoor recreational spaces, including the Athletic Club, an outdoor lounge featuring what the cruise line claims will be the largest daybed at sea.

    It’s an adults-only cruise with “peek a view” showers and the “largest daybed at sea”. This has the makings of a reality TV show that you wouldn’t watch with your mom in the room.

    If you’re keen to live your rock star fantasy, Virgin Voyages will open for bookings on February 14.
