Virgin Voyages has redefined the luxury cruise experience, putting innovation at the heart of everything they do. Unlike traditional cruise lines, Virgin doesn’t start embarkation at 11am. Instead, boarding begins later around 1:45pm (1:30pm for suites) when all staterooms are ready.

The benefit is clear: you step onboard and head straight to your room. The drawback? Delayed embarkation often creates long lines at the terminal, with waits of over an hour

As the time draws near to bring your suitcases out of storage and begin packing for your upcoming cruise holiday, a number of questions naturally arise. What should I wear? What will the weather be like? What’s my luggage allowance? How much storage space is in my stateroom or suite? Am I overpacking? And perhaps, most importantly, what must I absolutely not forget?

With a little planning and the right guidance, these concerns can be easily addressed. In this guide, we break down the essential considerations to help you pack confidently for your next cruise holiday.

When most people think of traditional cruising, they picture midnight buffets, towering plates of indulgent fare, lazy days by the pool, and perhaps a premium drinks package in hand. While these pleasures still exist, today’s luxury and premium cruise lines are responding to a shift in guest expectations. A growing number of travellers now seek wellness, fitness, and balance alongside indulgence – and cruise lines are delivering.

The convenience of sailing from Southampton, or most ports in the U.K. for that matter, is second to none. Having the benefit of an unlimited luggage allowance, avoiding busy airports lounges, not having to worry about liquids in your hand luggage nor suffering from jet lag if cruising long haul, cannot be compared. Simply arrive, board and you’re on holiday.

While seasoned cruisers often have a favourite deck, position, or even stateroom number, first-time cruisers might find it a little daunting to get it right on the first try. We’ve put together a few tips and suggestions to help you select the best location for your cruise holiday.
