Virgin Voyages' renowned dining and beverage offerings are set to take the spotlight with a series of month-long onboard activations.

Scheduled for relaunch across the fleet in July, Richard Branson's latest venture in travel beckons food enthusiasts, epicureans, and adventurers to partake in its third annual Eat & Drink Festival. This culinary and cocktail extravaganza, a favorite among sailors, returns with an array of diverse tastes and brand-new events for a limited period.

This year, sailors aboard Virgin Voyages are in for an epicurean treat with a range of experiences designed to tantalize the taste buds. Fresh for 2024, Virgin introduces the inaugural Asian Night Market at Sea, offering sailors the opportunity to savor the iconic spices and flavors found in Eastern street food.

In another culinary innovation for the year, Virgin Voyages, in collaboration with Michelin-starred Chef Matt Lambert, unveils a new 6-course menu at the Test Kitchen, marking an exciting chapter for this experimental, laboratory-like eatery. Additionally, the brand is reintroducing beloved experiences such as Seven Seas Sippers, a thrilling cocktail treasure hunt spanning 7 distinguished bars onboard.

With a curated lineup of 20+ special activations, including wine pairings, hidden speakeasy pop-ups, spirited dinner series, culinary demonstrations, and dedicated food and drink events on each ship, Virgin Voyages promises a culinary journey like no other in 2024.

Sailors who make reservations now will enjoy up to a US$200 Bar Tab, redeemable for specialty drinks, Seven Seas Sippers cocktails, and Virgin Voyages' innovative "Shake for Champagne" feature, where Moet & Chandon can be summoned anywhere onboard with a simple shake of a phone.
