On board all Virgin Voyages ships is your own private karaoke room bookable for free with thousands of songs at your disposal. Welcome to ‘The Groupie,’ where you and up to 15 of your friends can indulge in the ultimate karaoke extravaganza. Best of all, it’s a complimentary treat included in your cruise fare.

How to Book “The Groupie”

To reserve your time in ‘The Groupie,’ all you need to do is add your name and cabin number to a sign-in sheet available at the Groupie desk . The sheet will be set up each morning of your cruise. Unlike traditional karaoke lounges, ‘The Groupie’ operates on a trust-based system, where guests can book their slots without the need for constant crew supervision. You can rent each room for 1 hour total.

Three Rooms to Fit Your Party

‘The Groupie’ offers three private karaoke rooms, each catered to different group sizes:

  • The Blue Room: Perfect for intimate gatherings of 2-4 people, this cozy space creates an ideal setting for heartfelt duets and solos.
  • The Pink Room: A slightly larger room designed for groups of 4-6 people, providing more space to showcase your vocal talents and share laughs with friends.
  • The Purple Room: The grandest of the three, accommodating groups of up to 15 people. The Purple Room invites you to let loose and channel your inner diva in a lively and spirited ambiance.

The Karaoke Setup

Each ‘Groupie’ room boasts a large-screen TV equipped with a tablet device that unlocks a vast digital catalogue of songs. With thousands of song choices at your fingertips, you’re sure to find your favorite tunes and chart-toppers to sing along to. The tablet also enables you to adjust various settings, such as changing the key of the backing track, managing the volume, and experimenting with special effects like echo and reverb.

With two wired microphones provided in each room, you and your friends can become the stars of the show. Unleash your inner Mick Jagger or Madonna as you take the stage and perform like never before. The only limitation is the cable length of the microphones, so you may have to stay close to the booth, but that won’t dampen the excitement of your karaoke adventure.
