Virgin Voyages is a brand new adults-only cruise line, and this July we'll be cruising with YOU on their first ship, Scarlet Lady. We've got a lot of excitement planned along with special events, and special savings...
Waking up with the sea moving by outside our window, knowing we had nothing to do but could enjoy everything we wanted, was a great way to start the day.
