Outlet Details

EU Outlet: Powering Your UK/European/Australian Appliances

If you’re traveling from the UK, Europe or Australia and bringing appliances like hair dryers, straighteners, or curling irons, Virgin Voyages cabins provide a single EU outlet operating at 220V. This particular outlet is conveniently positioned adjacent to the mirror, facilitating the convenient operation of your hair styling tools. Simply plug in your appliances (using an applicable converter if need be) and enjoy their seamless operation throughout your cruise.

North American Outlets: Compatibility for Your Devices

For guests with North American electronic devices or appliances, Virgin Voyages cabins offer up to five North American 110V outlets. These outlets are designed to accommodate devices with North American plugs, ensuring that you can easily charge your devices or use your appliances without any issues.

Note: In Rockstar suites you will also have an outlet in the bathroom for convenient use of the hair dryer.

Convenient USB Charging Outlets for Devices

Virgin Voyages understands the importance of staying connected particularly with included Wi-Fi and offers convenient features in their cabins for device charging. Near the bed, you’ll find two charging ports, allowing you to keep your devices within reach while they recharge.

Additionally, USB-A ports (including a high speed port) are available on either side of the bed, providing a hassle-free solution for charging smartphones, tablets, or other devices compatible with USB-A connectors.

USB-C Considerations

It’s important to note that USB-C ports are not available in Virgin Voyages cabins. If you have devices that require a USB-C connection, be sure to pack the necessary USB-C to USB-A adapters or cables. This way, you can ensure compatibility and keep your USB-C devices charged throughout your cruise.

Conclusion

Compared to other cruise lines Virgin Voyages has a lot of electric outlets and in convenient locations for use with all of your devices. Stay connected, easily charge your devices, and have a smooth experience on your cruise.

    Do you know what they do about CPAP devices? Some have a heating element and I’ve heard they don’t allow anything that heats.

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hi Sally, CPAP machines are usually fine but best to speak to sailor services if you have any concerns

  2. Julie says:

    Can you take a travel steamer on board. Or travel iron

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hi Julie it’s suggested not to as they may confiscate, theres information here on the laundry options available including borrowing a steamer.

  3. Marykay Martin says:

    I read somewhere that the XL Sea Terrace bathrooms don’t have outlets. Is this true? I was wanting to plug in a night light with motion sensor.

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Correct there is no outlets in the bathrooms except the Rockstar Suites

  4. JB says:

    I can’t see anything in your pictures that resemble a UK plug socket.

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hi JB yes you’ll need converter as stated and should use the EU plug for UK based appliances that need the higher voltage.

  5. Raymond Lumsden says:

    Thankyou very much for your photos and information, this will be used with gratitude as we will only need minimal chargers
