The Experience
There is no better way to close a year and open a new one than sailing into midnight on the open Caribbean Sea with your people. MOOD Travel Club and Black Cruisers Club are bringing their community together December 28, 2026 – January 4, 2027 for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve at sea. Classic Caribbean ports, group celebrations, premium group perks, and a private New Year’s Eve celebration onboard — this is how you do the New Year when you travel with intention.
The Ports: What Awaits You
Nassau, Bahamas
The energy of the Bahamas’ capital perfectly sets the holiday tone. Colonial history, beach clubs, Atlantis Paradise Island, and Bay Street buzz — Nassau is festive, vibrant, and beautiful.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Reggae, waterfalls, jungle adventures, and the most vibrant local culture in the Caribbean. Dunn’s River Falls, the Blue Hole, and local market experiences make this one of the trip’s most memorable days.
Georgetown, Grand Cayman
World-class clarity and calm — Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City, and the pure turquoise water of the Cayman Islands offer a perfect counterbalance to the energy of the other ports.
The Beach Club at Bimini
The private island final chapter. Pools, beach, included food service, and the perfect place to decompress after celebrating the new year before heading back to Miami.

- Travelers wanting a true fresh-start experience entering 2027 in motion
- Caribbean lovers who want to hit Nassau, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman in one sailing

New Year's Eve at sea on Virgin Voyages is one of the most extraordinary celebrations in travel. The ship hosts a full celebration with entertainment, music, and a midnight moment on the open ocean. MOOD Travel Club will coordinate exclusive group moments, a semi-private group countdown, and premium open bar hour for the group. Full NYE details will be emailed to all signed-up travelers in advance.
We strongly recommend arriving in Miami on December 27 at the latest. Flight delays, especially during the holiday travel rush, can cause last-minute stress. The ship will not wait. MOOD will share pre-cruise Miami hotel recommendations and group meetup details after sign-up.
New Year's Eve sailings on Virgin Voyages are among the most in-demand of the entire calendar year. Cabins sell out months in advance. Signing up early and booking your deposit as soon as you receive the group link is strongly encouraged.
Signing up is free and commits you to nothing. You enter your name and email on this page and receive our exclusive Virgin Voyages group booking link via email. You then use that link to book your cabin and deposit directly through Virgin Voyages. No money is collected during sign-up.
Yes. Virgin Voyages is strictly 18+ with absolutely no exceptions. No children can board under any circumstances. This creates an elevated, grown-and-sexy atmosphere that is exactly the vibe MOOD Travel Club and Black Cruisers Club are built for.
Absolutely — solo travelers are celebrated in the MOOD community. Single-occupancy cabin options are available, and the entire trip is designed to connect you with like-minded travelers. Many MOOD solo travelers leave with friendships and travel partners for life.
Your fare includes all dining at 20+ onboard restaurants (no extra charges, no fixed dining times, no buffet), Wi-Fi, group fitness classes, entertainment shows, and your MOOD group perks including up to $300 Bar Tab credit per cabin. Tips and gratuities are NOT included in the base fare — they are a separate cost. However, Virgin Voyages offers a discounted gratuity package that can be added at the time of booking, and we strongly recommend locking it in early at the lower rate. Other out-of-pocket costs include alcohol beyond your Bar Tab credit, spa treatments, shore excursions, and specialty add-ons.
No — tips and gratuities are NOT included in the Virgin Voyages base cruise fare. This is an important distinction. Virgin Voyages does offer a discounted crew gratuity package that you can purchase at the time of booking before you sail. Adding gratuities early locks in the lower pre-sailing rate, which is better value than paying onboard. MOOD Travel Club strongly recommends adding the gratuity package when you book your deposit. Your Pre-Voyage email will include instructions on how to do this.
The Bar Tab credit — up to $300 per cabin — is a group perk applied when you book through our exclusive MOOD group link. It covers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages ordered throughout the ship and is loaded onto your Virgin Voyages wristband (your onboard ID, cabin key, and payment device). Unused Bar Tab credit does not carry over.
Yes — highly recommended. Download the Virgin Voyages app before sailing and make dining reservations as soon as your booking is confirmed. Popular venues like Gunbae (Korean BBQ) and The Wake book up quickly. MOOD coordinates group dining where available, but personal reservations are smart backup.
