Breathtaking Spectacles. Fascinating Cultures.
It all starts in vibrant Athens, now one of Europe’s most dynamic and fascinating places, where ancient history and modern life blend seamlessly to create one of the world’s most welcoming and friendly cities. The dazzling cliffs of Santorini invite you to explore one of the world’s most unique islands, filled with beaches, wineries, and spectacular vistas everywhere you turn. Go back in time with a visit to the ancient ruins of Ephesus from nearby Kusadasi, or spend the day indulging in Turkey’s awesome shopping scene.

After a relaxing morning at sea, our dramatic arrival into Istanbul will take your breath away as the city’s majestic spires and unmistakable landmarks come into view. Our overnight stay affords you plenty of time to explore some of the world’s greatest landmarks, indulge in incredible cuisine, and even experience some of the city’s vibrant night culture.
From the Pyramids to Mykonos and Beyond
After all the exploring, you’ll need a relaxing day at sea, so let us entertain you onboard Resilient Lady with everything from pool games to outdoor cafes to a summertime T-dance on the top deck. Just save some energy for the start of our next adventure.

With a full day and night in Alexandria, you’ll experience one of the world’s greatest and best-preserved treasures on a journey to the Pyramids of Giza. Even more exciting, you’ll be among the very first to visit the incredible new Egyptian Museum – opening in late 2024 at the cost of over $1 billion. It’s a day you’ll never forget.

Our late stay on the iconic gay-centric playground of Mykonos gives you time to do it all, with its labyrinthine streets lined with vibrant bougainvillea and white stone houses, welcoming Mykonos enchants every visitor. Finally, we’ll visit the dynamic island of Crete where ancient ruins meet dazzling beaches and a laid-back culture on Greece’s largest island.
Play Like a Virgin
Get onboard the first ship purpose built for hyper-social, endlessly interactive, original fun — changing everything you thought about playing on the ocean. You’ll feel like a true sailor on our own massive yacht-like playground.

Imagine a pool deck flawlessly designed for both relaxing and dancing. A gym you never want to leave. Chilling out on a net 13 stories above the sea. Wellness that surrounds you. Innovative dining with a non-stop parade of choices. Brunch in two places. Everyday. Drag queen hosts and pop-up moments of pure joy. Shows where you’re a part of the action and magic in unexpected places. That’s the way we play on Virgin Voyages with Atlantis.

There’s never been more spectacular settings for Atlantis parties, dazzling venues for shows, and so much more. We’ve never played like this before on any ship sailing today!
Dazzling Spectacles. Everywhere.
Our non-stop festival of talent features our community’s top entertainers and more in truly sensational venues. The transformational Red Room comes alive with Atlantis’ signature performers — drag queens, comics, acrobatic shows, Broadway stars, and so much more. Add in Virgin’s thrilling production shows and interactive experiences to create a landscape of entertainment unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

Get up close in the intimate Manor with a non-stop parade of hilarious comedians, outrageous drag shows, specialty acts, and plenty of surprises. It’s the perfect venue to try out some original talent or a new take on a favorite.
All Feet On Deck
Atlantis’ legendary outdoor parties get an upgrade on a pool deck at sea perfectly designed for our style of free-spirited dancing under the sun and stars. Afternoons sizzle with themed t-dances into the sunset. At night we’ll present the world’s finest DJs in a dazzling production filled with lasers, video, and sophisticated lights filling the night sky. This ship was built for a party like ours!

We’ll mix things up with some fabulous parties and late-night events in the Manor nightclub and Red Room, showcasing a spectacle unlike anything else seen on Atlantis.
Everything Included. For Nothing.
Nobody likes paying for things they use all the time, like Wifi, basic beverages, and a terrific place for dinner. So, we don’t charge extra for them. Ever. Even fitness classes are included! Logon, drink up, spin a little, and enjoy!

Every fabulously original restaurant is included with more choices than any other ship at sea. All you need to do is decide whether to indulge in fresh Italian at Extra Virgin, Korean BBQ at Gumbae, an inventive tasting menu at the Test Kitchen, brunch or steak at the Wake, all-day treats at Razzle Dazzle, and so much more. And there’s no buffet in sight. Or a massive banquet-like main hall. But who needs one with all these amazing spots?

Oh, and by basic beverages we mean sodas, water, coffees, juices, and most non-alcoholic offerings. The hard stuff is, of course, extra.
