	19th19	FebFeb	202424	Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, embark on the Resilient Lady		18:00
Sydney belongs to the exclusive club of cities that generate excitement. At the end of a marathon flight there's renewed vitality in the cabin as the plane circles the city, where thousands of yachts are suspended on the dark water and the sails of the Opera House glisten in the distance. Blessed with dazzling beaches and a sunny climate, Sydney is among the most beautiful cities on the planet.With 4.6 million people, Sydney is the biggest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia. A wave of immigration from the 1950s has seen the Anglo-Irish immigrants who made up the city's original population joined by Italians, Greeks, Turks, Lebanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thais, and Indonesians. This intermingling has created a cultural vibrancy and energy—and a culinary repertoire—that was missing only a generation ago.Sydneysiders embrace their harbor with a passion. Indented with numerous bays and beaches, Sydney Harbour is the presiding icon for the city, and urban Australia. Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the 11-ship First Fleet, wrote in his diary when he first set eyes on the harbor on January 26, 1788: "We had the satisfaction of finding the finest harbor in the world."Although a visit to Sydney is an essential part of an Australian experience, the city is no more representative of Australia than Los Angeles is of the United States. Sydney has joined the ranks of the great cities whose characters are essentially international. What Sydney offers is style, sophistication, and great looks—an exhilarating prelude to the continent at its back door. Sydney, Australia Greeting Sailors with massive cliffs, an iconic Opera House, and a historic bridge, Sydney's wow-effect makes it one of the world's greatest port cities. Hit Bondi beach, find the trendy bars, or gaze at the rugged coastal scene — there're heaps of options around, and Sydney is all yours to explore.
	20th20	FebFeb	202424	At Sea
	21st21	FebFeb	202424	Burnie, Tasmania, Australia	09:00
Burnie overlooks Emu Bay, on the north-west coast. This proudly industrial city is Australia’s fifth largest container port and a vibrant place to visit. Burnie was once surrounded by dense rainforest, but this has slowly disappeared, while fortunes were made felling and milling timber. The paper and pulp mill on the city’s outskirts operated from 1938 to 1998. Burnie was first explored by Bass and Flinders and was known as Emu Bay when it was settled by the Van Diemen’s Land Company in 1827. Today, Burnie has a population of almost 19,000. Burnie experiences temperate conditions, with an average maximum of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) in January and 56.5 degrees Fahrenheit (13.5) degrees Celsius in June. Burnie, Tasmania, Australia Once an industrial base, Burnie has transformed into a vibrant coastal city of tastemakers. Day trips to the coast and nearby forests allow for beautiful bushwalks, waterfalls and sprawling rhododendron gardens, while dusk over Emu Bay brings the arrival of its most popular locals — little penguins.
	22nd22	FebFeb	202424	Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, disembark the Resilient Lady	06:30
Consistently rated among the "world's most livable cities" in quality-of-life surveys, Melbourne is built on a coastal plain at the top of the giant horseshoe of Port Phillip Bay. The city center is an orderly grid of streets where the state parliament, banks, multinational corporations, and splendid Victorian buildings that sprang up in the wake of the gold rush now stand. This is Melbourne's heart, which you can explore at a leisurely pace in a couple of days.In Southbank, one of the newer precincts south of the city center, the Southgate development of bars, restaurants, and shops has refocused Melbourne's vision on the Yarra River. Once a blighted stretch of factories and run-down warehouses, the southern bank of the river is now a vibrant, exciting part of the city, and the river itself is finally taking its rightful place in Melbourne's psyche.Just a hop away, Federation Square—with its host of galleries—has become a civic landmark for Melburnians. Stroll along the Esplanade in the suburb of St. Kilda, amble past the elegant houses of East Melbourne, enjoy the shops and cafés in Fitzroy or Carlton, rub shoulders with locals at the Victoria Market, nip into the Windsor for afternoon tea, or rent a canoe at Studley Park to paddle along one of the prettiest stretches of the Yarra—and you may discover Melbourne's soul as well as its heart. Melbourne, Australia From its hipster art-scene and Aussie Football, to the late-night bustle of Chinatown, Australia’s southernmost city blends cutting edge trends with coastal culture — and no matter the hour or your travel style, you’ll be amazed by what there is to uncover inside this glittering metropolis.

The Red Room

Live Performance Space

There’s a lot that’s special about The Red Room. It’s the first transformational theater at sea, featuring different modes which enable a variety of unique and engaging experiences.

The Manor

The Manor will host a ground-breaking, immersive dining entertainment experience (coming soon), to kick the night off before it transitions into a mind-blowing, goodbye-early-morning-workout nightclub.

The Groupie

Private Karaoke

No late night outing is complete without some serious karaoke. Virgin Voyages have put their own spin on traditional cruise karaoke by designing Korean style Karaoke Rooms. Bold, vibrant spaces that encourage intense, high energy fun for our Sailors. With song choices that span decades and genres, these bookable private sessions require having their go-to tracks chosen, singing voice warm and invited friends ready for a private dance and song battle to remember. There are 3 private rooms for friends (or strangers) to reserve and enjoy together.

Voyage Vinyl

Record Shop

With Virgin Voyages' history rooted deeply in music, their sonic identity peaks at our record shop onboard. Sailors can get lost in sound at Voyage Vinyl, our record shop at sea. Stocked with music magazines, headphones and record players, Sailors can pull up to a listening station with a stack from the selection of both classic and current albums including special and limited editions.

Draught Haus

A selective beer drinker's go-to, Draught Haus features eight seasonal on tap varieties plus a wide range of artisanal bottles. This part British pub, part modern craft brewery inspired taproom, provides plenty∘ of chill eclectic places to sit back and sip, or just grab a growler for those ‘bring your brew with you’, kind of days. Chill, casual but discerning beer connoisseur approved.
