Virgin Voyages is known for its commitment to inclusivity and diversity, values that are at the heart of its brand identity. This June, in honor of Pride Month, Virgin Voyages is celebrating the LGBTQ+ community with a pride themed drinks menu and existing onboard activities.

One of the highlights of this year’s Pride Month celebration is the introduction of curated specialty cocktails and mocktails, thoughtfully crafted by the cruise line’s expert mixologists. These beverages are inspired by the colors of the pride flag, each representing a different aspect of inclusivity and the significance behind the flag’s hues.

Available at every restaurant and bar across the entire Virgin Voyages fleet, these drinks offer a colorful and tasteful celebration of Pride. As a reminder you can use your Bar Tab for any of these drinks, use the Bar Tab Calculator to estimate how much Bar Tab you’ll need!

    My bigger question: is VV “Pinkwashing”?

    It’s great that they are supporting pride, but are they actually doing anything with the extra profits for the LGBT+ crew or community from the drinks? Companys (including other Virgin brands) have been called out for this before.

    I tried some of the Pride cocktails on Resilient Lady in June 2023, I can remember a watermelon one in The Wake being very good.

    What are the cocktails? You show them, but don’t describe them.

      100% agree. While it’s a fun little thing, that’s exactly what it is, a little thing. We need special events and a special Diva show MINIMUM
