About VV Insider

VV Insider was founded in August 2023 by two frequent sailors (Rob Sammons & David Todd) who love Virgin Voyages. We have over a decade of cruising experience across the industry

We create content that is free from bias, providing a reliable resource where the Virgin Voyages community can find information and share their experiences.

The Story

We’ve been sailing on cruise ships for over a decade with many years on Disney Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Viking Ocean amongst others.

When we first discovered Virgin Voyages in August 2021 from Portsmouth, UK we were amazed by the new approach to cruising that was more in line with the way we like to cruise. Since then we have sailed with friends and family a combined 30+ Virgin Voyages sailings across all of the ships bringing a wealth of experience to the website.

The idea for VV Insider was born out of a love for the brand but also in providing accurate up to date information for other sailors on board the voyages. We have an extensive catalog of pages and add more daily to ensure we provide sailors with the latest information.
