Gone are the days where cruises mean inevitably packing on thousands of calories per day, and skipping the gym for a week. At least, on Virgin Voyages. You can still do those things if you like, but their ships are all about creating wellness experiences for those who don’t want to let their health routines lapse just because they’re on vacation, or who are looking to kickstart a healthier lifestyle.
Their balance of luxury, relaxation, adventure, and self-care is perfect for meeting your health goals, especially those looking for fitness cruises and a rejuvenating wellness travel experience.
Virgin Voyages' adults-only cruises are perfect for those who want a balance of good old fashioned vacation relaxation, and rejuvenating self-care. They're especially perfect for women on a solo adventure looking to put their own twist on an “eat, pray, love” escape.
These are the top 10 cruise health benefits of sailing with Virgin Voyages.
If you’re looking for a vacation defined by self-care, introspection, and wellness activities, Virgin Voyages has you covered. Between the spa facilities in their Redemption Spa – the ultimate self-care experience – group fitness classes, state-of-the-art gym, and scenic running track that encircles the ship, wellness opportunities are always available for Sailors.
The crown jewel of Virgin Voyages' relaxation experience is the Redemption Spa. With a mud room, salt room, steam room, sauna, hot tubs, and cold pools, you don’t ever need to book a massage, facial, or wrap (though we’d highly recommend it) to feel fully restored here.
Sometimes self-care means a little aesthetic tune-up. Always wanted to get a tattoo, but could never motivate yourself to actually pull the trigger? Now’s your chance. There’s no better souvenir than one that quite literally stays with you forever. So treat yourself to some creative fun at Squid Ink, our onboard tattoo parlor. If that feels like a bridge too far, the Dry Dock, our beauty salon, is here to give you a fresh new look that isn’t quite as permanent.
The Medi Spa is our sanctuary for all things glamorous. From luxurious manicures and pedicures with organic soaks, to Botox, fillers, and IV therapy, the Medi Spa is your one-stop beauty shop.
It’s one thing to indulge in a little self-care for the body, but what about the soul? Our guided meditation sessions are designed to bring your body and mind into alignment.
The only buffet onboard is Virgin Voyages' buffet of fitness amenities, with something to suit every Sailor. From cutting-edge gym equipment to group fitness classes and on-demand app training, they've got you covered.
Sometimes it can be tough to motivate yourself to hit the gym, especially while on vacation. That’s not the case on Virgin Voyages, since you’ll be lifting weights and running on the treadmill with beautiful views of an ocean horizon.
Nothing is quite as motivating as working out in groups. Whether it’s sunrise yoga, cycling, or a HIIT class, group workouts are a great way to both stay in Shape and meet other Sailors.
Get motivated as a group with a cycling session. There’s no better way to meet new friends than by burning calories together.
If you’ve never taken a bungee class before…well, you need to. Virgin Voyages' bungee classes aren’t just a great way to stay in shape – they’re actually fun!
Exercising is definitely easier when you have someone to show you the ropes. That’s why Virgin Voyages has a pro personal trainer on hand to keep you motivated and make sure you actually leave your balcony hammock for a gym sesh.
Running with a view is always better. Spend your morning circling our Virgin-red Running Track that encircles the ship, offering up some of the most sweeping horizon views you’ll find anywhere on the high seas.
That’s right – it’s a basketball court at sea. Play one-on-one, Knockout, or just practice your free-throws solo.
You don’t even have to leave the comfort of your cabin to crush a workout, thanks to Virgin Voyages' Fitness On Demand apps. Whether you’re in your room or going solo at the gym, these self-guided tutorials are perfect for a quick fitness fix.
It doesn’t really matter where you’re cruising, because at every port you’ll find opportunities to indulge in restorative fun. Whether it’s strolling through nature, taking an enlightening tour of local culture, relaxing on a white sand beach with your significant other, or leaning into your adventurous side with zip lining and epic hikes, it’s easy to carve out your own relaxation experience.
For those looking to achieve their 2025 health objectives, a wellness cruise is the seamless, stress-free vacation you’ve been looking for. After taking our group fitness classes, watching the sun rise while you find inner peace during a yoga session, take a brisk run around our track, and treat yourself to some pampering in the spa, you’ll disembark a whole new you.
