In a remarkable feat for a relatively new player in the cruise industry, Virgin Voyages has once again secured the top spot as Travel + Leisure's Best Mega-ship Ocean Cruise Line in the 2024 World's Best Awards.
This prestigious accolade comes just three years after the company's maiden voyage, solidifying its position as a game-changer in luxury cruising.
Virgin Voyages' innovative approach to sea travel has clearly resonated with both critics and passengers. The cruise line excelled in every category, from cabin quality and onboard facilities to dining experiences and overall value. Travel + Leisure praised Virgin Voyages for "knocking it out of the park" with top marks across all cruise amenity categories.

What sets Virgin Voyages apart is its commitment to combining luxury with sustainability. The cruise line has implemented state-of-the-art technology to create an eco-conscious travel experience. By offering all-inclusive dining at over 20 specialty restaurants with made-to-order meals and essential drinks, Virgin Voyages has significantly reduced food waste and single-use plastics. The company's innovative Sailor App and wearable technology, "The Band," further minimize paper and plastic waste while enhancing the guest experience.
Currently, Virgin Voyages operates three ships – Valiant Lady, Scarlet Lady, and Resilient Lady – offering diverse itineraries in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. With plans to expand its destinations and introduce a fourth ship, Brilliant Lady, in 2025, Virgin Voyages is poised to continue redefining the cruise industry for years to come.
This consecutive win reaffirms Virgin Voyages' dedication to delivering exceptional experiences and cements its status as a leader in luxury cruising.
