Guide to Themed Nights on Virgin Voyages
Themed Nights on Virgin Voyages
One of the most fun and unforgettable parts of sailing with Virgin Voyages is the lineup of themed nights and immersive onboard events. These aren’t traditional cruise formal nights — instead, Virgin Voyages delivers bold, creative, and high-energy experiences that encourage self-expression, socializing, and unforgettable memories. At The Cruise Boys™, we help sailors plan ahead so they can fully enjoy every themed night onboard.
Virgin Voyages themed nights are optional, playful, and designed to enhance the adults-only atmosphere. Whether you love dressing up or prefer to keep it casual, these events add an extra layer of excitement to every sailing.
Popular Virgin Voyages Themed Nights
While themes may vary by itinerary and ship, sailors can expect a mix of signature events that have become fan favorites:
🔴 Scarlet Night
The most iconic Virgin Voyages event. Sailors are encouraged to wear red as the ship transforms into a vibrant, all-out celebration featuring music, performances, and a legendary pool deck finale.
⚪ PJ Party
A cozy-meets-fun late-night event where sailors rock their favorite pajamas, onesies, or lounge looks while enjoying music, dancing, and relaxed social vibes.
✨ WeFancy Night (Virgin’s Take on “Formal Night”)
A stylish, anything-goes evening where sailors dress up (or don’t) however they choose — glamorous, edgy, casual, or chic. There are no strict dress codes, just confidence and creativity.
🎉 Pop-Up & Surprise Events
Virgin Voyages is known for spontaneous themed moments hosted by the Happenings Cast — from dance parties to character-driven experiences that pop up throughout the voyage.
What to Wear (and What Not to Stress About)
Virgin Voyages keeps things refreshingly relaxed. Participation in themed nights is never required, and there’s no pressure to pack formalwear unless you want to. Sailors are encouraged to express themselves, have fun, and wear what makes them feel comfortable and confident.
At The Cruise Boys™, we always recommend planning a few fun outfits in advance — especially for Scarlet Night — but reminding clients that comfort and personal style always come first.
