The Roundabout serves as the central hub aboard Virgin Voyages, replacing the traditional cruise ship atrium with a smaller space designed around movement, meeting up, and socializing. Built around a large marble staircase, it connects some of the ship’s busiest venues while creating a natural gathering place throughout the day and evening.

At the Center of the Ship

Located midship, The Roundabout sits at the crossroads of entertainment, dining, bars, and shopping. Whether you are heading to dinner, making your way to a show, or exploring the ship, this is one of the spaces you will likely pass through most often.

Its position also makes it a popular meeting spot, particularly before shows and evening plans.

Two Decks, Different Atmospheres

The Roundabout stretches across Deck 7 and Deck 6, with each level offering a slightly different experience.

Deck 7 is the larger space, with large windows on both sides of the ship and comfortable seating areas where sailors can relax, take in the views, or spend time with friends.

Deck 6 acts more as a connection point, offering direct access to On the Rocks and the High Street shops.

Updated on Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady

The Roundabout has seen updates aboard both Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady, with the space evolving beyond simply being a central staircase and walkway.

The refreshed design places more focus on comfortable seating and creating an atmosphere that encourages sailors to stay awhile, particularly during the evenings. The area now plays a stronger role as a social space, with greater emphasis on conversation, live entertainment, and nighttime interaction.

Scarlet Night and Evening Atmosphere

The Roundabout becomes especially lively during Scarlet Night, when the staircase and surrounding levels turn into a focal point for performances and gatherings.

Thanks to its open design and multiple viewing angles, it remains one of the ship’s best places to experience the energy of the evening.

A Hidden Compass Above

One detail many sailors miss is the lighting overhead. The ceiling design forms a giant compass, with one of the radial lights glowing red to indicate north.

It is a subtle feature, but one that reflects the thoughtful design found throughout the ships.
