	27th27	AugAug	202424	Portsmouth, England, embark on the Resilient Lady		18:00
Portsmouth is one of the most densely populated cities in Southern England, and is unusual as most of its built-up area occupies Portsea Island, linked to the mainland by road and rail bridges. Although there is a Roman fort at nearby Portchester, occupied later by the Saxons and Normans, there was no settlement on the site of Portsmouth at the time of the 1086 Domesday Book. The town developed in medieval times and received its first charter in 1194 from King Richard I; soon afterwards it became a major naval base. It has the world’s oldest dry dock, and is home to several famous ships, including HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose, raised from the Solent in 1982. Portsmouth remains an important naval base and is home to a large proportion of the British service fleet. The waterfront area is now dominated by the Spinnaker Tower, 560 feet high, the United Kingdom’s tallest building outside London. Other things to see in the city include the house where Charles Dickens was born, and the City Museum, which contains a permanent exhibition devoted to another famous writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who lived in the town. Portsmouth, United Kingdom, United Kingdom From the historic dockyard with the world's oldest naval ship still in operation to the iconic Spinnaker Tower's sweeping views, Portsmouth blends maritime heritage and modern charm. A gateway to diverse adventures and our homeport in the UK, it’s the ideal launch point for Sailors eager to explore.

	29th29	AugAug	202424	Zeebrugge, Belgium	08:00
In 1895 work began to construct a new seaport and harbour next to the tiny village of Zeebrugge, situated on the North Sea coast. Today the fast-expanding port of Zeebrugge is one of the busiest in Europe and its marina is Belgium’s most important fishing port. Many attempts were made to destroy this important port during both World Wars. Zeebrugge is ideally located for discovering the historic city of Bruges, and delightful seaside resorts with long sandy beaches can be visited by using the trams that run the whole length of the Belgian coast. Please note that no food may be taken ashore in Belgium. We shall not be offering shuttle buses to Bruges, but you may visit the city on an optional excursion: those visiting Bruges should note that there may be quite a long walk from the coach to the town centre. Zeebrugge (Bruges), Belgium Melding classic European flair with the charm of a seaside fishing town, soak in historic Old Town, explore the cafes and Baroque guild houses of Butchers' Street, or take a scenic sail in Ghent.

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.

Proscenium Mode: The most common theatre layout where Sailors won’t be more than 50 feet from the stage.

Alley Stage: Sailors face each other with the action separating them.

Flat Floor: With Sailors in the middle of the action with the show happening all around and direct access to a bar.

The Manor

Alluring Nightclub

This kick ass, two story, two bar space, named after Richard's first recording studio, is inspired by the coolest clubs on land layered with a moody and sexy 70’s punk vibe. 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.
