About The Red Room

The Red Room is the main theater venue onboard Virgin Voyages. It was designed to move away from the traditional fixed cruise ship theater layout. Instead of one permanent setup, the space can change depending on the type of event being held.

Shows and Events

The Red Room hosts many of the headline productions onboard. Depending on the ship and itinerary, this can include large stage shows, themed evenings, and special performances. It is also used for select larger indoor events when needed.

You can see the current line-up on our events page.

Limited Bar Service

During performances and events, a limited bar service is available with beer, wine, spirits, sodas, and select canned cocktails, this is only when all seating is down. Keep in mind for safety reasons, drinks are transferred into plastic cups before entry.

A Flexible Theater Space

One of the key features of The Red Room is its ability to transform. It can operate as a seated proscenium-style theater, switch to an alley configuration, or open into a flat-floor space for larger events. At full capacity, it can accommodate up to 800 people.

This flexibility allows the same venue to host full stage productions, interactive performances, and standing events throughout the voyage.

Seating and Layout

The seating is fully retractable, which allows the room to be reconfigured quickly. When the seating is pulled back, the floor opens up to create a larger event space.

The design also accounts for movement at sea, so the structure and seating remain secure and comfortable even in less calm conditions.

Lighting and Atmosphere

Lighting is built into the structure of the room and can be adjusted to suit each show or event. The venue can shift from a standard stage setting to a more immersive environment using different lighting levels and colors.

Overview

The Red Room is designed to be adaptable and practical. Its changing layout allows Virgin Voyages to use the same venue in different ways throughout the voyage, from theater productions to larger group gatherings.
