Only-on-Virgin Extras: Tattoos, the Casino & More

Part of what makes Virgin feel different is the stuff you don't find on other ships. A few favorites:

• Squid Ink — yes, a real tattoo parlor at sea, for a permanent souvenir of your voyage.

• The Casino — for a flutter after dark.

• Voyage Vinyl — a record shop, because of course.

• The Arcade & games — free retro fun when you want something low-key.

• Grooming spots — a salon, nail bar, and barber for a mid-cruise refresh.

None of it is essential — and that's the point. Virgin fills the ship with little "wait, they have that?" moments that make it feel more like a boutique hotel than a cruise ship.

Love a ship with personality? Virgin might be your line — let's talk.
