Virgin Voyages offers 6 main sit-down restaurants on each ship, all included in your cruise fare with no cover charge. Dining reservations open on VoyageFair windows: Lock It In/Base 15 days, Essential 45 days, Premium 60 days, and RockStar/Mega RockStar 120 days before sailing through the Virgin Voyages app. (bookings made before October 7, 2025 used the older 45-day / 60-day suite windows). Here’s what to expect at each venue in 2026.
The Wake
A glamorous nod to classic steak and seafood houses with dramatic wake views aft. Expect premium cuts, fresh catches, and elevated sides—perfect for date night or a celebratory dinner.
When to go: The Wake serves dinner nightly and brunch on select sea days. Brunch at The Wake is one of the fleet’s best-kept secrets—think seafood towers, steak & eggs, and bottomless bubbles. Dinner reservations fill fast, so book pre-sailing through the app.
Extra Virgin — Now with Ship‑Exclusive Dishes!
Warm, convivial Italian built around housemade pastas, antipasti, and regional flavors. New for 2026: Each ship now features its own exclusive dishes, giving you a reason to dine here on every Virgin Voyages vessel. The core menu features beloved classics like Pappardelle al Ragù, Braised Pork Cheek, and the Affettati Misti board—plus the Braised Mini Meatballs (smoked mozzarella, tomato, pancetta), a signature dish that has appeared on every Extra Virgin menu iteration since Scarlet Lady’s 2021 debut and is available on all four ships. Here’s what makes each ship special:

Pink Agave — Refreshed Menu for 2026
Modern Mexican with bold techniques and regional inspirations. The last-verified menu (January 2026) showcases authentic flavors with creative presentations:
Small Plates (Botanas): Guacamole with pomegranate seeds and jalapeño, Chayote Yucateco (Mexican squash with habanero), Esquites (grilled corn with spicy aioli), and Aguachile (tuna with avocado and jicama).
Medium Plates (Entradas): Camarón Amarillo (seared shrimp in mole amarillo), Enchilada de Pollo with salsa verde, and Papas con Chorizo.
Large Plates (Fuertes): Relleno Vegano (stuffed poblano pepper), Pescado (grilled striped bass with mole verde), Pato (roasted duck with mole ahumado), Cochinita Pibil (achiote-marinated smoked pork), and Bistec Marinero en Escabeche (ribeye with oaxaca cheese and chile ancho).
Treat Yourself: Pescado Zarandeado ($55) — achiote halibut with lobster and bay scallops.
Don’t miss the signature cocktails like the Sol de Fuego Margarita, the adventurous “It’s Like Crickets in Here” (yes, with actual crickets!), or the refreshing non-alcoholic La Vida Libre. Many cocktails are available by the carafe for sharing.
Gunbae — Refreshed Menu for 2026
Korean BBQ that’s as social as it is delicious—tableside grilling, banchan, and spirited toasts. The 2026 menu refresh features:
Small Bites: Bugak (nori rice crisps), Oi Muchim (cucumber, avocado, pepper threads), Kimchi Jeon (kimchi pancakes), Shrimp Kimbap Rolls, Haemul Pajeon (seafood scallion pancake), and Dakgangjeong (forever crispy chicken with pickled daikon).
Rice, Noodles & Stews: Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), Soondubu (silken tofu stew with clams, mussels, shrimp), and Kalbi Jjim (soy braised short ribs).
BBQ Grill: Choose your proteins—from the vegetable combo to bulgogi, short ribs, pork belly, squid, octopus, and shrimp—all served with your choice of white rice, brown rice, or kimchi fried rice.
Treat Yourself: Bo Ssam ($75) — whole roasted pork butt with oysters and caviar.
Don’t miss the soju cocktails like Disco Water (with pop rocks!) and the Korean drinking games—a must for groups who love an energetic, communal meal.
Razzle Dazzle
Veg‑forward comfort food with playful twists and plenty of tasty options for omnivores. Brunch here is a fan favorite—keep an eye out for cheeky takes on classics.
What to try: The menu changes between brunch, lunch, and dinner service. Brunch standouts include the Beet Pierogis, Avocado Toast, and the indulgent French Toast. At dinner, don’t sleep on the Cauliflower Tempura or the Plant-Based Burger. Razzle Dazzle is also one of the best spots for creative cocktails—both alcoholic and proof-free options are thoughtfully crafted.
Ariya by Razzle Dazzle — New for 2026 (Valiant Lady)
The biggest dining news in the fleet this year. After Valiant Lady’s dry dock, the Razzle Dazzle space became Ariya—an Indian‑inspired concept built around shareable plates. The name traces back to Sir Richard Branson’s family connection to India, and the menu follows the old spice routes: turmeric, cardamom, tamarind, and saffron doing the heavy lifting. Plates are meant to be passed around the table.
Starters: Gol Guppa Shot (crisp pani puri with chilled spiced herb water), Puffed Rice Avocado Chaat with mango and tamarind‑lime, Sunchoke & Cauliflower Tandoori Kebab, Silky Whipped Paneer Dip with garlicky naan and pickled lime honey, Goan Curried Mussels, Malabar Coconut Crab Cake, and Chicken 65—crispy fried chicken bites with curry leaf and habanero aioli.
Mains: Lamb Shank Biryani with fragrant saffron basmati, Tandoori Grilled Ribeye with chaat crispy onions and vindaloo jus, Pistachio‑Crusted Snapper with fenugreek potatoes and mint raita, Tandoori Shrimp Moilee in creamy coconut curry over parmesan farina grits, and the Eggplant Saag Napoleon with roasted spiced mushrooms and crisp papadum.
Heads up—the one upcharge: Ariya has a “Treat Yourself” item, the Tiffin Surf & Turf at $60 (lobster moilee, gunpowder petite filet, morel biryani, truffle naan). Everything else on the food menu is included in your fare. Worth knowing before the bill surprises you—it’s genuinely special, but it’s optional.
Desserts: Kulfi Trio (saffron, rose, pistachio), Gulab Jamun Stuffed Cheesecake with saffron‑cardamom donut bites, Garam Masala Dark Chocolate Cake with boondi crunch, Sticky Toffee Jackfruit Cake, and a vegan Tapioca Coconut Pudding with coconut lime sorbet.
Cocktails ($15 unless noted): Bangalore Old Fashioned (Amrut Indian whiskey, rose, cardamom, jaggery), Saffron & Silk, Moon Gimlet with kaffir lime and cardamom, Darbar Diva, and the Smoking Merchant (mezcal, tequila, turmeric, mango). Lower‑proof and zero‑proof are properly considered here too—the Bombay Bitter ($13, low ABV) and Seventh Leaf ($11, non‑alcoholic) aren’t afterthoughts. Kingfisher lager is on the beer list, which is a nice touch.
Brunch at Ariya: A genuine highlight, and it blends Razzle Dazzle favorites with Ariya’s spice work. Starters include Nutty Gazpacho, the Naanzanella Citrus Salad (naan croutons, grilled sweet corn, blood orange, mint mango chutney), and an Açaí Bowl. Mains run from the Razzle Dazzle Breakfast and Sunny Side Hash with kimchi to the Malted Buckwheat Waffle, Wild Mushroom Frittata, the “Everything” Salmon Bowl, and a Fried Chicken Sandwich on a black bun. Don’t skip the Ariya Lassi ($7)—mango, rose & cardamom, saffron honey, or green fennel, with a vegan option. The Wake & Bake‑ry pastry list (apple cruffin, smoked cheddar jalapeño croissant, banana almond muffin, chocolate chip scone) is included.
Bottomless Brunch: $35 for bottomless mimosas, sparkling wine, rosé, draft beer, Masala Mary, or Maharani Morning during your meal—or $75 to go bottomless with Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut. Optional, and one of the better values onboard if you were ordering a few rounds anyway.

Lucky Lotus — Updated Menu for 2026
An Asian-inspired concept (exclusive to Scarlet Lady) featuring shareable plates and bold flavors, operating under the Razzle Dazzle banner. The 2026 menu includes:
Starters: Trio of Lengcai (chili cucumber, mustard cabbage, pickled lotus root), Pan Roasted Vegetable Dumplings, Kabocha & Chicken Wonton Soup, Crispy Walnut Prawns, Peking Duck Bao Buns, and Honey Sriracha Sticky Ribs.
Mains: Buddha’s Delight, Stir Fried Rice Noodles, Szechuan Hot & Sour Noodles, Basil Chicken, Blossoming Sweet & Sour Fish, Five Spice Pork Chop, and Grilled Ribeye with black peppercorn sauce.
Treat Yourself: Lobster & King Crab Hotpot ($65) — with shrimp, scallop, clam, and glass noodles.
Desserts: Egg Tart, Banana & Ricotta Rangoon, Mango Pudding, and Almond Tofu & Black Sesame.
Rojo
Virgin’s lively Spanish-inspired concept, exclusive to Brilliant Lady, built around shareable tapas and larger plates rooted in Mediterranean ingredients. The menu rotates through cured meats and jamón boards, patatas bravas, seared octopus, Spanish tortilla, and paella-style rice dishes served family-style. Rojo operates under the Razzle Dazzle banner and shares its brunch service, making it one of the few venues on Brilliant Lady where you can graze across Spanish and American-comfort cuisines in a single sitting.
What to try: Start with the charcuterie board, move to the octopus or the patatas bravas, and save room for a paella to share. Pair with a glass of Albariño or a Kalimotxo (red wine + cola) from the bar. Great for groups who want a long, loud, lingering meal.
Test Kitchen — Elevated Tasting Experience
A chef‑driven playground with multi-course tasting menus and seasonal ideas. The 2026 menu offers both regular and vegetarian tasting experiences with courses featuring ingredients like mushroom, scallop, beef or venison tenderloin, and creative desserts.
Drink Pairings: Cocktail ($45), Low ABV ($35), Proof-Free ($30), Wine ($45), or Beer ($35) — each featuring five curated selections to complement your courses.
Great for foodies who love technique, surprise, and a bit of theater in their dining.
Want your voyage planned properly?
Dining reservations open on VoyageFair windows: Lock It In/Base 15 days, Essential 45 days, Premium 60 days, and RockStar/Mega RockStar 120 days before sailing, and the best tables book out quickly. (bookings made before October 7, 2025 used the older 45-day / 60-day suite windows). As CamJon Travel, a Top 100 First Mate agency, I design complete voyage strategies for travelers who want their cruise handled with care — dining, cabin, itinerary, excursions, and the small details that shape a standout experience.
Casual & All‑Day Dining
Beyond the main sit-down restaurants, Virgin Voyages offers several casual, no-reservation-needed dining options that are open throughout the day. All casual dining is included in your fare. These spots are ideal for quick bites between activities, late-night cravings, or days when you want to graze rather than commit to a full sit-down meal.
The Galley
Virgin’s take on a food hall: noodles, tacos, burgers, bowls, pastries, and more. It’s your all‑day go‑to for variety without the buffet vibe.
Stations include: a noodle bar, a taco and Mexican street food counter, a burger grill, grain bowls, a salad bar, a bakery with fresh pastries, and a juice and smoothie station. The Galley is open from early morning through late evening, making it the most flexible dining option on the ship.
The Dock & Dock House
Sun‑drenched Mediterranean‑style lounge featuring wood‑skewers, dips, and mezze. Relax, sip, and graze—this is the art of the slow bite.
The Pizza Place
Made‑to‑order pies with a crisp chew and classic toppings—great for a late‑night slice or a quick lunch on the open deck.
Good to know: The Pizza Place is open until 2 AM, making it the go-to for post-party fuel. You can take the buzzer to the Manor (the ship’s nightclub) and dance while you wait for your pizza.
Social Club Diner & Sweet Treats
Retro‑American comfort with a playful dessert counter. Think nostalgia, fries, floats, and fun.
Drinks & Bars
Virgin Voyages does not offer an unlimited drinks package. Instead, basic beverages—water, coffee and espresso drinks, tea, sodas, and fresh juices at select venues—are included in your fare. Premium drinks (cocktails, wine, beer, spirits) are pay-as-you-go, but at prices that are generally more reasonable than other cruise lines. A craft cocktail typically runs $12–$16. Beer starts around $7–$9. Wine by the glass ranges from $9–$18. For a full breakdown of drink menus by venue and pricing strategy, see our complete Virgin Voyages drink menus guide.
Bar Tab & Sailor Loot: If you’ve received Bar Tab credit as part of a promotion or through your travel agent booking, it applies automatically to drink purchases. Any remaining Bar Tab balance is non-refundable, so plan to use it before your final night. Not sure how much Bar Tab to buy? Try our Virgin Voyages Bar Tab Calculator to estimate exactly what you’ll spend. You can also bring two bottles of wine per cabin onboard to supplement.
Each bar has its own personality—from the intimate cocktail den at Sip to the open-air vibes of The Dock to the high-energy Manor nightclub. Expect craft cocktails, global wines, zero‑proof options, specialty coffees, and fresh‑pressed juices across all venues.
Pro tip: Extra Virgin features a curated Italian cocktail and wine program with options like the No-Groni (non-alcoholic), Aperol Spritz, Negroni, and the signature Notte di Pistacchio (Belvedere vodka, espresso, Fernet Branca, Bottega pistachio). Wines are available in 3oz, 5oz, or full bottle pours.
Dietary & Accessibility
Virgin Voyages accommodates a wide range of dietary needs across all restaurants. Here’s what to know before you sail.
- Common accommodations: vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑aware, and dairy‑aware options are broadly available. Menus clearly mark (V) vegetarian, (VV) vegan, and (GF) gluten‑free items.
- Communication: note allergies in the app and confirm with your server upon arrival.
- Flexibility: many dishes can be adjusted on request; when in doubt, ask.
- Important: Virgin Voyages’ kitchens are not allergen-free environments. Always inform the crew of food allergies or special dietary needs.
Vegan-friendly highlights: Razzle Dazzle is the most vegan-friendly restaurant on the fleet, with dedicated plant-based options at every meal. Extra Virgin offers the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake (vegan) and Pan Roasted Kabocha Squash (Scarlet Lady). Pink Agave’s Relleno Vegano (stuffed poblano) is another standout. The Galley food hall also has a dedicated grain bowl and salad station.

Reservations & Pro Tips
All main restaurants on Virgin Voyages are reservation-based (no assigned dining times or formal seatings). Here’s how the system works and how to get the tables you want.
- Book in the app: Reserve key restaurants before you sail; same‑day slots release each morning.
- Reservation windows: Dining reservations open on VoyageFair windows: Lock It In/Base 15 days, Essential 45 days, Premium 60 days, and RockStar/Mega RockStar 120 days before sailing. (bookings made before October 7, 2025 used the older 45-day / 60-day suite windows).
- Walk‑ups happen: If your preferred time is unavailable, check in at the host stand right when doors open.
- Group strategy: For parties of 6+, book earlier windows or split tables and reconnect over dessert.
- Ship-specific dining: If you’re sailing Scarlet Lady, don’t miss Lucky Lotus. On Brilliant Lady, Rojo is a must. And now with ship-exclusive dishes at Extra Virgin, make sure to check your ship’s specific menu!
- Homeport note: Core menus are fleetwide—plan confidently whether you sail from Miami, Barcelona, Athens, San Juan, Los Angeles, or Seattle.

FAQs
These are the most common questions we hear from Sailors planning their Virgin Voyages dining experience. Current as of September 12, 2026.
Are the menus the same on every Virgin Voyages ship?
Most menus are consistent fleetwide, but Extra Virgin now features ship-exclusive dishes—each vessel has unique antipasti, pastas, and secondi you won’t find elsewhere. Lucky Lotus is exclusive to Scarlet Lady, and Rojo is exclusive to Brilliant Lady.
What is Ariya on Virgin Voyages?
Ariya by Razzle Dazzle is the Indian‑inspired restaurant that debuted on Valiant Lady following her dry dock, taking over the Razzle Dazzle space. It serves shareable plates built around classic spice‑route flavors—turmeric, cardamom, tamarind, saffron—at dinner, plus a brunch service that blends Razzle Dazzle breakfast favorites with Ariya’s Indian influences. Dinner standouts include Lamb Shank Biryani, Tandoori Grilled Ribeye, and Chicken 65.
Is Ariya included in your Virgin Voyages fare?
Yes. Like every main restaurant on Virgin Voyages, dining at Ariya is included—there is no cover charge and no specialty dining fee. The only food item that carries an extra cost is the “Treat Yourself” Tiffin Surf & Turf ($60). At brunch, the Bottomless Brunch beverage package is optional at $35 (or $75 with Moët & Chandon). Everything else on both menus comes with your fare.
Do I have to pay extra for the main restaurants?
No—Virgin Voyages includes specialty dining in your fare. Certain premium items carry a supplement: the 90 Day Aged Steak Florentine ($125), Raviolo al Uovo ($30), Alaskan King Crab Radiatori ($35 on Valiant Lady), Fresh Truffles ($25 on Scarlet Lady), Bo Ssam ($75 at Gunbae), Lobster & King Crab Hotpot ($65 at Lucky Lotus), and Pescado Zarandeado ($55 at Pink Agave).
How do I get a reservation at popular venues like Gunbae or The Wake?
Book in the Virgin Voyages app pre‑sailing and check again onboard each morning for new same‑day releases. Walk‑ups can work if you’re flexible.
Is there a dress code?
Everything is fine except a swimsuit—leave that for the pool deck.
Can you accommodate allergies?
Yes. Your server will ask about allergies and dietary needs at each meal, so you can give them an update right there. Keep in mind that kitchens are not allergen-free environments.
Do menus change during the year?
Menus can change without notice and are constantly evolving. We do our best to keep them updated here.
What’s the difference between the Extra Virgin menus on each ship?
While the core Italian favorites remain (Pappardelle al Ragù, Braised Pork Cheek, Affettati Misti board), each ship now has exclusive starters, pastas, and main courses. For example, Scarlet Lady offers Beef Carpaccio and Seafood Risotto, while Valiant Lady features Salmon Crudo and the premium Alaskan King Crab Radiatori. Check the ship-specific PDF menus above for full details.
How many restaurants does Virgin Voyages have?
Each Virgin Voyages ship has 20+ eateries. This includes 6 main sit-down restaurants (The Wake, Extra Virgin, Pink Agave, Gunbae, Razzle Dazzle, and Test Kitchen), plus ship-specific venues like Lucky Lotus on Scarlet Lady and Rojo on Brilliant Lady. Casual options include The Galley food hall, The Dock & Dock House, The Pizza Place, and the Social Club Diner. All dining is included in your fare—there are no cover charges at any restaurant.
Is there a buffet on Virgin Voyages?
No. Virgin Voyages deliberately eliminated the traditional cruise buffet. Instead, The Galley serves as an all-day food hall with multiple made-to-order stations (noodles, tacos, burgers, grain bowls, salads, pastries). You order from each station and the food is prepared fresh. It offers the variety and speed of a buffet without the self-serve format.
What is the best restaurant on Virgin Voyages?
It depends on your taste, but the most popular restaurants among Sailors tend to be Gunbae (for the lively Korean BBQ experience and drinking games), The Wake (for the elegant steak and seafood ambiance), and Extra Virgin (for the housemade pastas and now ship-exclusive dishes). Test Kitchen is a must for foodies who enjoy multi-course tasting menus. For a more relaxed, shareable-plates vibe, Pink Agave and Lucky Lotus (Scarlet Lady only) are excellent.
Is Virgin Voyages all-inclusive?
Virgin Voyages includes far more than a typical cruise — specialty dining at 20+ eateries is in the fare, and essential drinks are included — but it is not a fully all-inclusive product. Bar Tab, daily service gratuities, and some Treat Yourself items are separate. CamJon Travel’s deeper take: Is Virgin Voyages really all-inclusive?.
Are drinks included on Virgin Voyages?
Basic beverages are included: water, coffee, tea, sodas, and juices at select locations. Alcoholic drinks (cocktails, wine, beer, spirits) are pay-as-you-go. There is no unlimited drinks package. Cocktails typically cost $12–$16, beer runs $7–$9, and wine by the glass is $9–$18. Promotional Bar Tab credits from booking offers can offset drink costs. You may also bring two bottles of wine per cabin.
Can I eat at every restaurant on a 5-night cruise?
Yes, with planning. A 5-night voyage gives you enough evenings to hit every main restaurant (Razzle Dazzle for brunch, not dinner), and you can visit the casual spots (The Galley, Pizza Place, Dock House) for lunch and snacks throughout the day. Book your dinner reservations pre-sailing through the app to secure your preferred times, and use sea days for brunch at The Wake or Razzle Dazzle.
