- PJ Party (All Ships): Dress up in your favorite pajamas for a night of 90s and early 2000s disco fun. Whether you go for classic cotton pajamas, quirky animal onesies, or luxe silk nightwear, this event encourages comfort and creativity.
- VHS Workout Class (All Ships): Get your groove on with 80s-inspired workout gear. Think neon tank tops, leg warmers, and flashy sneakers for this fun, low-impact exercise session.

Special Outfit Ideas for Each Themed Night
Scarlet Night – All Ships:
This event calls for head-to-toe red! Whether you're dressing casually or going all-out, there are endless ways to embrace the red theme. Try a simple red T-shirt or tank top for a casual vibe, or elevate your look with a red cocktail dress or suit. Accessories like red sunglasses, handbags, and LED light-up pieces can add an extra flair.
PJ Party – All Ships:
For the PJ Party, comfort is key. Wear cozy cotton pajamas, a sleep shirt, or a playful onesie. Retro 90s cartoon-themed PJs and animal onesies are a hit, while silk nightwear and lace-trimmed camisoles provide an elegant touch.
VHS Workout Class – All Ships:
Embrace the 80s workout trend with neon leotards, sweatbands, mesh crop tops, and colorful spandex. This low-impact aerobics class is perfect for showing off your best retro workout gear.
Studio 72 – Scarlet Lady:
Get groovy with 70s-inspired outfits like flared pants, platform shoes, and sequin tops. Feather boas and metallic accessories will add the ultimate disco touch. Don't forget the glitter makeup to sparkle all night!
We Fancy – Valiant Lady & Resilient Lady:
For We Fancy, let your inner diva shine with luxurious gold attire. Think gold sequined dresses, metallic pants, and even gold body glitter. Pair your look with gold stilettos or oxfords for the ultimate glamorous effect. Most folks don’t follow the dress in gold standard. It never really caught on.
Klub Rubiks – Scarlet Lady & Resilient Lady:
This 80s-inspired event encourages bold neon colors and funky patterns. Sequined jackets, leather skirts, neon leg warmers, and mesh tops are all perfect for hitting the dance floor.
Y2K Party – Scarlet Lady:
For the Y2K Party, channel the iconic fashion of 1999 with a mix of edgy and fun outfits. Go for a pop star mini skirt and crop top combo, or rock a more relaxed look with baggy jeans and a logo tank. Complete the look with chunky sneakers and accessories like bucket hats and bling.
No Formal Nights – Dress How You Like!
Virgin Voyages is all about relaxation, so there's no need to pack a formal outfit. Whether you’re enjoying an upscale dinner at one of the ship’s restaurants or attending a themed event, you’re free to dress in whatever makes you feel most comfortable. From casual attire to full-on costume ensembles, you’ll never feel out of place.
Final Thoughts: Pack for Fun!
When preparing for your Virgin Voyages cruise, make sure to pack for the themed nights that excite you the most.
