Restaurants

Instead of traditional cruise buffets, Virgin Voyages offers over 20+ speciality restaurants with made-to-order meals which are all included.

I have listed below the five main restaurants and their menus

THE WAKE: 

The Wake brings a modern twist to the classic chophouses of the mid-20th century.

Once you’ve made your way down the grand staircase, you’ll enter a world that harks back to the old steakhouse, three-martini-lunch days of Madison Avenue ad men.

But, thankfully, with gender equality now and, you know, no cigar smoke.

RAZZLE DAZZLE: 

Bold flavors and creative twists continue, with an exciting new culinary journey on the horizon.

Razzle Dazzle by Night serves up its renowned New American cuisine with elevated dishes and inventive spins on classic favourites.

Starting December 2024, Scarlet Lady debuts Lucky Lotus, a Chinese-inspired gastronomic adventure brimming with vibrant flavors that reimagine traditional cuisine for the modern palate.

PINK AGAVE: 

Inspired by Mexico’s red-hot culture and sexy food scene, the experience at Pink Agave goes far beyond the usual taco.

Shareable, social, and spicy — it transports you to the vibrant streets of Mexico City on an immersive odyssey of local cuisine.

With the largest selection of tequila and mezcal at sea, and DJ beats to amp up the energy, we won’t judge if you order one of everything… and end up dancing on tables by the end of the night.

GUNBAE: 

If you’re into hands-on meat grilling and soju drinking, our Korean BBQ is *the* perfect spot to do all that.

Every meal at Gunbae begins with a Korean drinking game that includes a complimentary shot of soju.

And since we all have that one friend who insists on being the meat master, this is the time to roast the master while the master roasts the meat.

GUNBAE!

EXTRA VIRGIN:

From shared antipasti to fresh pasta, in a culinary experience as rich in culture as it is in flavor.

Try the grilled meats, taste the seafood, then get some homemade gelato from the Affogato cart.

Top it off with a traditional Italian aperitivo to help get your night started… or a digestivo to make it complete.
