The iconic Virgin Voyages ‘Rockstar’ Sunset Hour (Formerly known as the Champagne Hour) – Every day, from 5 to 6 PM, Virgin Voyages hosts a delightful Happy Hour, offering a unique opportunity for Rockstars and Mega Rockstars to connect with their fellow cruisers and Rockstar agents.

Time & Setting

Hosted on the exclusive Richard’s Rooftop lounge and Richard’s Rooftop Bar between 5 and 6 PM, this event promises a glamorous setting with panoramic views. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the gathering gracefully moves to the equally stylish Sip Lounge. Rockstars stay informed about venue changes promptly through their Rockstar agent chat within the Virgin Voyages app.

Value Savings for Rockstars

A standout feature of this hour is the substantial value it provides to Rockstars. Enjoying a glass of Moët onboard, which typically costs $25, is now included during the Sunset Hour. You can also enjoy a wide range of other drinks that can be worth up to $18.

Kick Off Your Night

The Virgin Voyages ‘Rockstar’ Sunset Hour isn’t just about cost savings; it’s a fantastic way to kick off your evening in style. With a continuous flow of alcohol (or virgin drinks if applicable) until 6 PM, this daily event sets the tone for a great night at sea.

    Hi, Have I made an error here?
    Sunset hour is 5-6pm, but if I’ve booked dinner reservations at 6pm, should I ask sailor services to move them by 15 or 30min to enjoy the full Sunset hour, or can we turn up a little late to the restaurants? I don’t know the walk from RR to the various restaurants, OR could I ask a Rockstar agent to escort/guide us.
    What are the suggestions? Sail in 30 days.

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hey Claire, they allow a 15 minute window after your reservation to show up before they cancel so essentially you have till 6:15pm. But also as you are Rockstar just ask your agent to move them a little back for you if you need more time and they’ll sort it all out 🙂

      1. Claire says:

        Thank you thats a reassuring answer. Hooray x

  2. Cheryl Jasper says:

    This sounds great, but can I just clarify that from 5-6 EVERY evening the drinks are ‘free’ for Rockstars at Richards rooftop bar?

      Hi Cheryl correct every single evening of your cruise !
