The first Mermaiden Voyage for Virgin Voyages was October 6, 2021, an event filled with mermaids and merman, fantastic food, and the wonderment of being on a ship that was delayed a year and a half due to COVID. As I outlined in my article about What It’s Really Like On A Virgin Voyage, Virgin got many things right when they first started sailing but had significant opportunities to improve.
Since I sailed Virgin, the company has won countless awards for ship design, service, food, LGBTQ+ travel, and several other categories.
