Virgin Voyages is breaking new ground by demonstrating that luxury and fitness can exist simultaneously at sea. During a recent Western Caribbean cruise on the Scarlet Lady, passengers discovered a voyage that delivered gourmet, made-to-order dining with an abundance of wellness activities minus the customary lethargy or weight gain.
Those days of round-the-clock buffets and couch potato travel are behind us. Virgin Voyages has redefined the onboard experience with a large, state-of-the-art gym called the B-Complex.
Morning HIIT sessions, high-intensity spinning classes, and even fun dodgeball and Zumba workouts dominated the ship’s calendar, allowing guests to maintain their routine while enjoying themselves.
“It’s a choose-your-own-adventure,” stated Nicole Huang, SVP Fleet Experience, noting that guests can customize their experience to detox, retox, or a combination of both.
Dining is equally thoughtful. With all restaurants offering made-to-order dishes and thoughtfully paired low-ABV or non-alcoholic beverages, every meal feels intentional rather than excessive.
Outside the ship, active shore excursions from hiking in Roatán to guided meditation sessions on the sands of Bimini allow travelers to explore destinations while keeping their energy levels high.
Through the seamless integration of indulgence and health-oriented amenities, Virgin Voyages provides a new kind of escape for the modern traveler elevating both body and soul, and demonstrating that a sumptuous holiday does not have to happen at the cost of well-being.
