SAVE THE DATE FOR CHRIS’ 45TH
COME SAIL
AWAY
Ahoy—I’ll be celebrating my 45th birthday on the high seas and I want you to join me. It’ll be like the Semester at Sea we never had but with drinks, drag shows, dancing and debauchery. Or simply relaxing in our oceanview hammocks and escaping it all. For 6 delicious days, we’ll be livin’ la vidaloha from Honolulu & LA to Cabo San Lucas. (Guac is extra and so are we, babes.)

DID I MENTION THAT
I HATE
CRUISES?
…until I read about Virgin Voyages. Child-like wonder, but child-free, this is an adult-only experience on a brand new ship that’s distinctly different from all the others. I did a lot of research; this felt like a cruise ship for non-cruise folks.

SO WHAT’S IT LIKE?
These reviews give a good overall recap.

What to expect on board

OR BUST
We’ll keep updating this page as our sail date nears. Think: coordinating reservations, pre-departure plans and perhaps some themed outfits (you’ll need a red look for ‘Scarlet Night’ onboard for instance!)
So consider this your save-the-date for now—allowing extra time for scheduling ahead for our work calendars, booking your trip (or signing up for a payment plan if preferable) and flights for those not in the LA area.
