About The PJ (Pyjama) Party

Virgin Voyages’ PJ Pyjama Party is a vibrant event designed to kickstart the cruise with a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Encouraging guests to wear their best pyjamas, the PJ Party offers a memorable night of music, dancing, and unexpected surprises.

Dress Code

As with everything on Virgin Voyages, there is no strictly enforced dress code. However you would be missing out if you didn’t don your finest pyjamas for this landmark event. Guests often use this first-night party to show off their silly side. Outfits range from fluffy dinosaur onesies to racy black negligees!

Just keep in mind, always make sure you keep your choice within Virgin’s policies.

Setting and Timing

The PJ Party is often hosted on the first night of the voyage at 11pm, helping to establish the mood of the cruise. It is usually held at the Athletic Club on Deck 16, providing a spacious and energetic environment for the festivities. However, in case of bad weather, the event is relocated to The Manor nightclub to ensure that the party goes ahead as planned.

Music & Surprises

The music at the PJ Party is a nostalgic mix of 90s and 00s hits, with some cheesy dance breaks thrown into the mix. A series of surprises await throughout the night, promising to keep the atmosphere lively and engaging.

Highlights of the party often include a boy band dance-off, a fun interruption from oversized canine visitors during the “Who Let The Dogs Out” number. There is also a pyjama contest with prizes for best dressed. These unique elements are led by the characters of The Hostess and The Diva.

Grog Walk Finale

For those participating in the ‘Grog Walk‘ pub crawl, the PJ Party serves as the finale after taking a brief detour to change into pyjamas. The PJ Party with its playful theme, energetic entertainment, and array of surprises is worth a visit.

    In regard to “Just keep in mind, always make sure you keep your choice within Virgin’s policies.” under the Dress Code part, I assume this is referring to “Indecent Exposure or nudity (for example, wearing jockstraps in public violates this policy)”. I take it a regular thong/g-string is passable for males for the dress up nights and pool?

      Hi TK, this is correct, we’ve not really seen anything enforced around this ever however.
