Overview

The Athletic Club sits at the very back of Deck 16 on Virgin Voyages and works as an outdoor social space rather than a traditional fitness area. It combines loungers, hot tubs, playful features, and wide wake views, making it a popular spot to spend time during the day or while sailing out of port.

What’s Inside The Athletic Club

• Three oversized net swings positioned at the aft so you can swing while looking out over the ocean.
• A seesaw and other playful installations that give the space an adults only playground feel.
• A giant outdoor chess board with oversized pieces for relaxed, casual games.
• A mix of circular daybeds and large sofa style loungers spread across the space.
• Some seating in full sun and other areas shaded by The Runway jogging track above on Deck 17.
• Two hot tubs at the aft with open ocean views, designed more for soaking than bubbling as they do not have jets.
• The Athletic Club Bar nearby, along with daytime drink service in the area.
• The signature feature is The Net, a catamaran style net that lets you look straight down toward The Dock below.

Brilliant Lady Features

On Brilliant Lady, the aft of The Athletic Club uses wraparound glass, which helps open up the view and makes the space feel more connected to the ocean. It is especially noticeable on scenic itineraries where the views become part of the experience.

Helpful Tips Before You Go

• If you try The Net, step onto it slowly at first as the view down can be surprising.
• Ease into the hot tubs rather than stepping in quickly, since the water can spill over the edge.
• If you want shade, look for loungers that sit under The Runway.
• The PJ Party is hosted here night one so it’s a good idea to find it before the party starts!

At A Glance

The Athletic Club is a casual outdoor space that blends lounging, social energy, and a few playful features. Between the swings, hot tubs, daybeds, and The Net, it is a flexible area where you can relax, hang out with friends, or just watch the wake go by.
