About Studio 72

Studio 72 is a club night on board Virgin Voyages cruise ships. It offers a nostalgic night of dancing influenced by the spirited disco scene of the 70s and early 80s. Under the sparkle of disco lights, attendees can anticipate an evening punctuated by rhythm and spontaneous performances.

A Dance Floor with a Retro Heartbeat

Drawing from the iconic 70s disco era, Studio 72 aims to craft a night of rhythmic consistency and spontaneous fun. While the DJ spins tracks deeply ingrained in the vibrant culture of the 70s and early 80s disco, sailors find themselves naturally swaying to the established four-on-the-floor dance hits. It’s an opportunity to be immersed in a different era as the music encourages both motion and connection.

Spontaneous Circus Performances

Adding a dynamic layer to the already vibrant setting, Studio 72 incorporates performances from the ship’s resident circus performances throughout the night. The seasonal performers—ranging from jugglers and acrobats to sword swallowers and roller skaters—inject unexpected moments of awe into the evening. These acts offer a revolving door of surprise elements, ensuring that no two Studio 72 nights will be exactly the same.

Opportunity to Dress To Impress – Disco Style

Some sailors, eager to immerse themselves fully in the Studio 72 experience, have begun packing 1970s and disco-themed attire to wear during the event. This self-organized trend adds a fun visual layer to the event’s atmosphere, encouraging others to step back in time and engage more deeply with the club night’s nostalgic theme.

Overview

Studio 72 revives the classic disco era, ushering in a space where the retro rhythm meets spontaneous performances. It’s more than just a club night; it’s a dynamically curated experience that tends to change its color with rotating performers and the infectious enthusiasm of the self-styled sailors dancing the night away.

We recommend packing a few disco-inspired clothes and accessories to really get into the spirit of this event! It’s a harmonious blend of planned events and spontaneous moments, capturing the spirit of an era characterized by exuberance and a sense of freedom.
