Is a Virgin Voyages cruise as cool as it looks? We go on board to find out

Young, fun and strictly adults-only, Virgin cruise ships do things different (Picture: We Fly Aerial Media)

I’m feeling a little bit smug as I sail straight past the queue waiting to board the ship.

It’s 1.30pm and while everyone else is waiting for the official 3.30pm kick-off, I’m already stepping aboard Virgin Voyages’ ship as a ‘Rockstar’. 

Crew members with tattoos, piercings, funky haircuts and plenty of personality are dancing at the entrance, grinning and calling out, ‘Ahoy, Sailor!’ as I walk through.

And just like that, I’m wondering if I’ve been cruising wrong all these years.
