An Adventure of Work and Play
This cruise is unlike any other—it's a unique journey where you can effortlessly work by the pool, join yoga or spin classes in between calls, and explore charming ports of call at your leisure. Inspired by Richard Branson's philosophy of integrating work and play, Virgin Voyages invites you to find the ideal work-life balance aboard their magnificent ships. As Richard himself puts it, "We want to give Sailors that same opportunity, so we came up with this idea to have them travel the world while working aboard our beautiful ships. Though this sounds like a lot more fun than my houseboat!"

To reserve your Scarlet Summer Season Pass, reach out to Sailor Services or your preferred First Mate (travel advisor).
