I go on an adults only cruise ALONE. Swingers, Storms & Solo Meet-ups.

Setting off on the adults-only Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady was an experience unlike any other. As a solo traveler, I was filled with anticipation and a hint of nervousness about the adventures and people I might encounter along the way. Little did I know, this 6-day journey would offer so much more than just spectacular ocean views.

Navigating stormy seas posed a thrilling challenge, but the ship’s stability and the crew’s expertise made it all seem like a minor wave in an otherwise smooth journey. Solo traveler meet-ups provided the perfect opportunity to forge new friendships. Often, these gatherings were filled with like-minded adventurers eager to share stories, tips, and laughter over cocktails.

Onboard, the experiences were second to none. From world-class dining options to invigorating entertainment, every detail was meticulously crafted to embody Virgin’s unique blend of boldness and refinement. Having once been part of the crew, I noticed changes in Virgin Voyages since its launch. The edgy vibe remains, but with added touches of sophistication that appeal to a broader audience.

Ah, the tales of pineapple symbols—a hidden nod among swingers that added a layer of intrigue to this adult playground. However, it was the ports that stole my heart. Puerto Plata offered a blend of rich history and vibrant culture, while the Beach Club at Bimini was a slice of paradise. The contrasting locales perfectly complemented the luxury and excitement onboard.

For those curious about the solo cruising experience, this journey was a revelation. Virgin Voyages manages to captivate with its adults-only concept, creating an atmosphere where you can truly unwind and be yourself, whether mingling with fellow voyagers or savoring serene moments by the sea. Each aspect, from the vibrant social events to the breathtaking destinations, contributed to an unforgettable adventure.
