Defining the music identity for one of cruising's most ambitious brands

Virgin Voyages brings a distinctive cultural heritage to cruising. With roots in a brand that founded one of the most influential record labels in history and launched the Sex Pistols, its guests arrive expecting something inclusive, culturally sharp and free-spirited. Delivering that across the fleet, with more than twenty distinct dining, bar and social spaces on each ship, is a brief of considerable scale. We curate and manage the music throughout the onboard experience.

The sophisticated bar at the Pink Agave Mexican restaurant onboard a Virgin Voyages cruise ship. Dusty pink velvet bar stools stand at a long terrazzo counter beneath a large blue dome lamp, facing rows of upscale tequila and mezcal bottles on lit shelves.

A sonic identity that works across a fleet

Supporting that creative ambition requires technology that is equally robust.

Multiple Dante audio players run across each ship, with advanced scheduling built around the itinerary of each voyage and our control app giving crew the ability to adjust the atmosphere in selected spaces when needed. Redundant players provide failover protection, while our technology team works directly with Virgin Voyages' IT team to maintain reliable performance across all four ships.

CLIENT PERSPECTIVE

They took the time to understand why we should sound different, carrying that thinking across our spaces onboard. The result: a ship that sounds Virgin.
