What Clients Who are Booked are Saying:
I can’t wait till July to actually try it! It’s all I’ve been talking about! I think it’s going to fill a huge gap between a full swinger charter and a vanilla cruise. And who’s to say you can’t turn your suite into a playroom with the right people 😂
—A & J in New Hampshire
I’d say Virgin Voyages isn’t a vanilla or swinger cruise. VV seems like it’s about being an adult playground for the open-minded adult looking for a fun, classy party atmosphere with good food and new concepts! Can’t wait to check out the drag queen brunch!
–– P & J in West Palm Beach FL
We met Richard at a wine festival a few years ago. What a GREAT guy! As soon as you emailed us about the Birthday Bash we knew it is our kind of event! Classy, Upscale & Lots of fun! We love the way TSC operates.
— M & O in Chicago, Il
I saw Richard Branson on TV talking about his Birthday Bash – It looks SO cool. I booked as soon as you emails to let us know we could get on that same exact cruise!
— R & J in Tampa
Virgin Voyages – The places they will take you
We currently have great groups of friends (circles as they are called by Virgin Voyages) booked on MANY of their highly anticipated cruises planned for late 2021 & 2022. This page specifically is for the Birthday Bash in 2022.
Don’t think these dates will work for you? Call our office and see if we have something closer to the dates you were thinking of. Maybe you can be the start of your own circle of friends on another Virgin Voyage!

Virgin Voyages Theme Parties – Meet Scarlet Night!
One of the questions being frequently asked is how will Virgin Voyages compare to a Bliss Cruise? We think an epic theme party will be one exciting point that the two share in common.
Scarlet Night is the signature theme party offered on every sailing. Go all out for this one, you know the sailors and crew on Virgin Voyages will. Expect spectacular performances, outrageous scarlet costumes, and pulsing music.
Here is a photo we found from (Belvedere) RED Pre-Grammys Party With Mary J Blige – After Party. It’s our inspiration for what the Virgin Voyages Scarlet Night Party will feel like. We can’t wait!
Virgin Voyages – Ship Details & Virgin Attitude
The design of Scarlet Lady is a big part of what will set Virgin Voyages apart from all other ships.
It seemed to start with the simple question, ‘What don’t people like about cruises?’
Virgin Voyages then sought the answer and solved it by not looking within the cruise industry, but at culture. What do people really LOVE. Simple solution they decided to do that instead of the same old – same old.
Here are a few of the things we LOVE about the Scarlet Lady preview:
- Adults-only
- A sports bar where you can watch ‘live sports’ instead of TV’s
- More than 20 places to grab a bite to eat with no ‘extra-fee’ restaurants
- Themed Bars in the restaurants… you know, like they are on land.
- Rooms Designed for Entertaining – mood lighting, more space, and daytime/nighttime furniture arrangement.
- More Inclusive Fares include basic drinks (soda, bottled and sparkling water, juices, drip coffee, and tea)
- Gratuities are included.
- Free WI-FI! And super cool apps to plan your days and nights
- The majority (86 percent) of cabins will have balconies, and 93 percent will offer ocean views
- All the balconies have a hammock!
- All Group Fitness Classes are included
- The first-ever Tattoo Studio at sea
- Ships employees are paid full wages (they are no longer surviving on your tips alone)- we love that Virgin is treating the staff that makes vacations so special so much better than other cruise lines.

Shake for Champagne
Already legendary is the ‘Shake for Champagne’ feature SHAKE FOR CHAMPAGNE™
Virgin Voyages is giving you one more reason to celebrate all of life’s moments with its on-demand delivery service, Shake for Champagne™. When the Virgin Voyages Sailor App is shaken, a secret Virgin Voyages Champagne button is revealed and, with just one press, a bottle of Möet Chandon Impérial® will be delivered to the Sailor.
Check out the shake video: https://youtu.be/w4mVOBBysx4
Virgin Voyages – What’s Included
More Inclusive is a big part of what sets Virgin Voyages apart. Of course there is the obvious more inclusive ‘stuff’ in your cruise fare.
- Basic Bevvies: Still and Sparkling Waters, Juices (except cold pressed), drip coffees, teas & sodas
- All Dining with 20+ choices including “Lick Me Til Ice Cream” & “Extra Virgin”… can you see why we like this ship already?
- Wi-Fi – Oh Thank GOD… I hate this nickel & dime charge on other cruises. And I hate not having my smart phone. Problem solved! And we read they have their own satellite… so hopefully, it’s speedy WI-FI too!
In addition to the inclusive ‘stuff’ Virgin seems to embrace an inclusive attitude about people and lifestyles too. At the VIP High-tea event at World Trade Center in Feb 2019, Richard Branson proudly acknowledged from the stage an LGBT-couple celebrating a landmark anniversary.
The Virgin philosophy embraces diversity. Celebrating people for who they really are. This inclusive spirit is part of why we feel that Virgin Voyages is going to be such a popular choice among our cruise clients.
Dining on Virgin Voyages
Dining features over 20 eateries – these are just a few of them to whet your appetite!
The perfect mix of sophistication, nostalgia and cool — entering The Wake is an event in and of itself. And once you’ve made your way down the grand staircase, you’ll enter a world that harks back to the old steakhouse, three-martini-lunch days of Madison Avenue ad men. But ya know, now with, thankfully, gender equality. And less cigar smoke.
FEATURES
- Table service only
- Cocktail trolley
- Personal dining rooms for groups of 10+
- Steaks, seafood and a full raw bar
Inspired by Escoffier’s Ma Cuisine, this laboratory-like eatery is part cooking school and part restaurant. It’s educational, experiential and social. With classes and evolving tasting menus, this is for the curious, boundary-pushing tastebuds on board.
FEATURES
- Table service only
- Experimental cocktails
- Cookery classes
- Seasonal tasting menus
So your best friend wants something light and healthy and you want to get real weird? This is that place. Boasting a bold interior, this restaurant offers creative surprises on some classic, comfort go-tos. Whether you’re looking for something familiar (#basic can be good) or something spicy and out of left field, this place does all of that with a twist (bfast, lunch, dinner, baby).
FEATURES
- Casual all-day dining
- Veggie-focused menu
- Signature cocktails
- Drag queen brunch
If you’re into hands-on meat-grilling and soju drinking, our Korean BBQ is the perfect spot to do all that with maximum social engagement (IRL, but feel free to ‘gram it if you want). It’s a catalyst for great conversation since we all have that one friend who insists on being the meat-master. Go ahead and roast the master while they roast the meat. 🔥
FEATURES
- Table service only
- Grill-your-own BBQ
- Social seating
- Drinking games and fun cocktails
Inspired by the capital city’s red hot street food scene, sailors are treated to an immersive odyssey of Mexican cuisine. Personal, intimate, and educational, a master of ceremonies will guide you through a highly curated dining and drinking experience. Mezcal dinner pairings equipped with a history lesson? Yes please.
Okay, frankly we’d be wild to build a ship and not have a restaurant with a sun-drenched lounging area so you can combine all the things you love in one place (eating and views, obviously) so yep — we did that. The Dock feels like an elegant cabana caught between the chill, seaside perfection of Ibiza and the rustic-chic resorts of Brazil.
Pricing, Policies, and Insurance for Virgin Voyages with The Swinger Cruise
Pricing could be a moving target with rates increasing as the popularity of this sailing grows. Contact us TODAY about the cruise that interests you and we will get you up-to-date pricing for your selected category.
Payment Plans
- Deposit 20%
- Final Payment due 120 days prior to sailing.
Cancellation policy
- One of the most flexible policies we have ever seen.
- We love that you can even do a double name change and sell the cabin to a friend if you are in full penalty and cannot travel. UNIQUE to this cruise line alone.
Travel Insurance
Yikes, travel insurance is not a fun topic but a lot of you have asked…
This is about what happens if you are paid, packed and ready to go… and there is a problem.
The biggest 2 reasons people take insurance are:
- Trip Cancellation
- Medical Expenses or Medical Evacuation
Full Ship charters are better than regular cruises in many ways, however the penalties and potential for a loss if you have to cancel is higher. Shortly after final payment most full ship charter cruises become non-refundable. That means if you have to cancel your trip not only do you have that disappointment of a cancelled vacation, but I have to tell you you don’t get your money back.
Our most popular insurance is ‘World Wide Trip Protector’ and provides full coverage when purchased up to 21 days after your vacation purchase.
The best value just to make sure you have coverage is ‘Trip Protector Lite Expanded.’

Note: this link opens a window for Travel Insured – if you have questions pleases phone our office for assistance.
Please consider purchasing Travel Insurance
Since everyone pretty much likes me right now and I’d like it to stay that way, please consider purchasing travel insurance. Or at least don’t say I didn’t warn you if there is a problem.
Other coverages that take the worry out of travel:
- Trip Interruption – Return air only
- Trip Delay & Missed Connection coverage
- Baggage Loss or Delay
- Cancel for Work Reasons Options available on select policies
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your upcoming cruise. There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling. Travel insurance offers coverage for unforeseen problems such as, an unexpected financial change or scheduling conflict, a cancelled flight or a serious illness. You even have the option where you can cancel for any reason. We recommend Travel Insured – Get a quote and buy insurance

The Coolest Cabins At Sea
What Future Guests Have to Say…
No buffet lines or mass main dining room? We won’t miss it!
We plan to take full advantage of all the gourmet offerings. The only problem we see is 20+ options and only 4 nights on the ship.
On Virgin Voyages we expect tons of couples our age… But we get that the common factor will be people who love fun! We loved every moment of our last cruise and cannot wait to get on Richard’s Birthday Bash!
One thing that made other cruises we have been on special was that everyone was dressed up beautifully. We felt really special to be included in such an amazing group. There were so many possibilities. Mrs says she never felt sexier.
It was so exciting to be part of such a vibrant group of people all dancing sexy and having fun.
