Virgin Voyages Packing List
What to bring, what to skip, and what people always forget.
Theme Night Outfits
One red outfit (Scarlet Night)
Dress, romper, suit, top — anything red. Accessories count. Commitment is rewarded.
Pajamas or lounge set (PJ Party)
Matching sets, robes, onesies — whatever you'd actually sleep in.
One elevated evening look (We Fancy)
Cocktail dress, blazer + slacks, or similar. Not black-tie — just a step above vacation casual.
80s/90s workout gear (VHS Night)
Leotard, windbreaker, tube socks, headband. Thrift stores are your friend.
Bimini + Beach Days
Reef-safe sunscreen
Required at Bimini — regular sunscreen damages coral. Mineral-based (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide).
Reusable water bottle
You'll be in the sun for hours. Free water everywhere, but bring your own vessel.
Collapsible straw
No plastic straws onboard or at Bimini. A silicone foldable straw fits in any bag.
Waterproof bag / dry bag
Tender rides can splash. Protect your phone and valuables.
Water shoes (optional)
Rocky entry at some Bimini beach areas. Nice to have but not required.
Snorkel gear (optional)
Bring your own if you prefer — rental gear is available but your own fits better.
Cabin Must-Haves
Surge-protected power strip
Only 2 outlets per cabin (European + US). A surge strip expands them. Non-surge strips are prohibited.
Magnet hooks
Cabin walls and doors are magnetic. Hooks let you hang bags, lanyards, and gear without holes or tape.
Shoe bag / over-door organizer
Hang over the bathroom door to organize shoes, sunscreen, accessories. Especially useful for Sea Terrace balcony shoes.
Seasickness patches or wristbands
VV ships are large and stable but Caribbean seas vary. Better to have them and not need them.
Night light
Blackout cabins are very dark. A small clip-on or USB night light helps with late-night navigation.
Leave at Home
Non-surge extension cords
Prohibited. Bring a surge-protected strip instead.
Washcloths
VV cabins famously do not provide washcloths. If you use them, bring your own.
Toiletries + full-size bottles
Cabin bathroom is small. Solid shampoo bars, decant into travel bottles. You don't need full-size anything for 4–7 nights.
Iron / hair straightener
Prohibited. The ship has a laundry + pressing service, or use the steamer upon request.
Formal wear
There are no formal nights. A blazer and slacks or a cocktail dress is the ceiling of any dress code expectation.
Bathroom Note
There is no electrical outlet inside the bathroom. Power is in the cabin only. If you use a hairdryer (other than the built-in), curling iron, or anything else that plugs in for grooming — it goes in the main room, not the bathroom.
