Give the gift of cruising this holiday season with Virgin Voyages' newest sale .

Now through Jan. 31, those who book a Virgin Voyage cruise for 2023 travel will get to bring a "second sailor" for 60 percent off the second ticket, plus score up to $600 worth of free drinks.

You and your sailing buddy will have your pick of destinations, with 2023 cruises taking travelers around the Caribbean, Mediterranean, South Pacific, and the Adriatic and Red seas. Example itineraries include the five-night Riviera Maya , which departs from Miami and sails to Cozumel , Playa del Carmen , and Virgin Voyages' very own Beach Club at Bimini (starting at $1,974 for two). Meanwhile, those who want to go further afield can opt for the seven-night French Daze & Ibiza Nights, sailing from Barcelona to Marseille , Cannes , Palma de Mallorca, and Ibiza (from $2,296).

Want to go all out? The Transatlantic Miami to Med journeys from Miami to Barcelona, stopping at Beach Club at Bimini, Lisbon , Cádiz, and Palma de Mallorca (from $2,416).

Cruises will take place onboard either the Valiant Lady, the award-winning Scarlet Lady, or the Resilient Lady, set to launch in May 2023. On each ship, passengers have their pick of more than 20 eateries, including a 24-7 diner, with some of the menus curated by award-winning chefs. Additionally, group fitness classes, complimentary Wi-Fi, and adjustable mood lighting in the cabins are available onboard. Even better: The beverage program was created in collaboration with some of the industry's top mixologists, so you know you can put your drinks credit to good use.

The one caveat is that the deal does not consider taxes and added fees, although you'll still be spending a lot less than you otherwise would be. To book your cruise, head to Virgin Voyages' website and start planning for an unforgettable experience.

Virgin Voyages Adds Destinations And Itineraries — Where Ships Will Sail

• News and Tips
• Travel News

“Sailors,” which is how Virgin Voyages refers to passengers, have a good reason to get excited.

Virgin Voyages, the adult-only cruise line launched by Richard Branson, will soon add 19 new ports and 27 new itineraries to its offerings. They include a return to the UK, new ports of call in Australia, and new ports in the Caribbean as well, Virgin Voyages announced .

“Our loyal sailors have been asking for more places to visit with us, so we’re delivering in a big way by announcing new ports, new itineraries, and more local and immersive experiences to create unforgettable getaways,” Michelle Bentubo, senior vice president of Service Excellence and Travel Operations at Virgin Voyages, said in a statement . “From Morocco to Mooloolaba, Australia; Amsterdam to Bordeaux, France; and Catania, Sicily, to Port Douglas, Australia, we now offer more than 120 incredible places you can explore aboard our award-winning ships you know and love.”

Here’s a quick look at the destinations and the ships calling on them.

Resilient Lady

After returning from her inaugural season in Australia, Resilient Lady, the cruise line’s newest ship, will sail three itineraries from May through July 2024 from her homeport in Athens. They include the Greek Island Glow cruise to the islands of Santorini and Mykonos, and the Adriatic Sea and Greek Gems cruise along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast.

Then in August, the ship will begin sailing from Portsmouth, England, to destinations such as Le Verdon (Bordeaux), France; La Coruna and Bilbao, Spain; Amsterdam; and Bruges, Belgium. 

The ship will then move to Barcelona with two repositioning sailings visiting a new Virgin port in Morocco before embarking on a Barcelona-to-Athens cruise with a maiden call in Catania, Sicily.

Resilient Lady will then set off on a 44-night repositioning cruise from Athens to Australia in October 2024. That itinerary will include stops in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, and Bali as well as Australian ports in Broome, Albany, Adelaide, Newcastle, Mooloolaba, Port Douglas, Brisbane, Eden, and Kangaroo Island.

Valiant Lady

Valiant Lady will start her 2023 winter season with a return from Barcelona on October 29, 2023, and then begin a series of Caribbean cruises from Miami.

From January through March 2024, she will operate out of San Juan, Puerto Rico, offering two southern Caribbean voyages originally scheduled for sister ship Brilliant Lady .

Finally, when sister ship Scarlet Lady heads into dry dock in 2024, Valiant Lady will take her place beginning in April 2024. Departing from Miami, Valiant Lady will continue to offer Scarlet’s four- and five-night Caribbean rotations.

Scarlet Lady

From May to October 2024, Scarlet Lady will sail a number of cruises in the Mediterranean Sea. 

Then, on November 3, 2024, Scarlet Lady will embark on an 11-night repositioning voyage from Barcelona to Civitavecchia, the port for Rome. Along the way, the ship will stop at the islands of Mallorca, Corsica, and Sardinia.

After a short period in dry dock, Scarlet Lady will embark on a 16-night Transatlantic voyage from Rome to Miami. This new itinerary includes calls in Funchal (Madeira, Portugal) as well as Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.

Finally, after arriving in Miami on December 14, 2024, Scarlet Lady will begin a series of six- and eight-night cruises from Miami. They include stays in San Juan and a day-trip to St. Croix.

Know So You Can Book

Travelers who want to visit one of the new ports can take advantage of 30 percent off pricing on Mediterranean 2024 voyages when they book by September 28.

You can learn more about the new ports and see the new itineraries at Virgin Voyages .

Virgin Voyages to Offer Four One-Way Sailings Across the World in 2023-2024

• September 14, 2022

Virgin Voyages is set to offer four new one-way sailings across the world during the 2023-2024 winter season.

Sailing in Asia, Australia and the Caribbean, the repositioning voyages will be offered by the Resilient Lady and the new Brilliant Lady.

Departing from Miami on Dec. 24, 2023, the Brilliant Lady will offer a five-night itinerary that ends in Puerto Rico.

In addition to two full days at sea, the holiday sailing features visits to Puerto Plata and St. Croix before ending in San Juan.

After completing its inaugural season in Australia, the Resilient Lady is set to offer what Virgin calls “epic” repositioning voyages to Europe.

Sailing in March and April 2024, the three two-week sailings can be combined into a single six-week trip that links Australia to Greece.

The first one-way segment departs from Sydney on Mar. 27, 2024. Before reaching its final destination in Singapore, the 15-night voyage sails to Airlie Beach, Cairns, Darwin and Benoa.

Continuing its way to Europe, the Resilient Lady embarks on the second segment of the positioning sailing on Apr. 11, 2024. Sailing from Singapore to Dubai, the 14-night itinerary features calls to Port Klang, Phuket, Colombo, Goa and Mumbai.

The next segment starts on Apr. 25,2024, and sails from Dubai to Piraeus. In addition to a transit of the Suez Canal, the voyage includes visits to ports in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, including Santorini, Rhodes, Alexandria and Safaga.

Third and fourth in a series of four cruise ships known as Virgin’s Lady Ships, the Resilient Lady and the Brilliant Lady are set to debut in 2023.

While the first will enter service in time for a summer program in the Mediterranean , the second is set to launch service in Q4 .

With the addition of early 2024 voyages, Virgin’s four-ship deployment now includes itineraries to more than 100 destinations across four different continents.

According to the company, the three- to 15-night voyages were designed to “offer something” for everyone.

All the Cruise Ships Sailing their Maiden Voyage in 2023

2023 is the cruise industry’s biggest planned delivery year since 2019, with 29 planned vessel completions. Following the pent-up demand to travel, cruise lines are responding to passengers’ eagerness to explore with many expedition vessels and once in a lifetime itineraries debuting this year.

Some of 2023’s biggest key cruise ship design trends center around connection to destinations, with observation areas, viewing decks, and marinas featuring heavily in designs. These will bring passengers closer to the water than ever before. There is also a rise in destination inspired designs that provide full immersion with other cultures. Another key cruise ship design trend we are seeing emerge in 2023 is open, horizontal designs that optimize limited space on board and create a seamless flow. Read on for the innovative ocean ships, expedition vessels and mega yachts debuting this year, and their revolutionary designs.

Note: all dates are correct at the time of publication and could be subject to change.

Scenic Eclipse II – Scenic

Launching on April 12, Scenic Eclipse II will be Scenic Cruises’ second superyacht. Exploration and immersion are at the heart of the vessel’s designs, with Scenic Eclipse II offering an expansive top deck for soaking in the views. This boasts a new bar area with both indoor and outdoor seating. Passengers can also explore the ocean from the vessel’s marina, using provided water equipment and kayaks.

SH Diana – Swan Hellenic

Designed for worldwide cruising, SH Diana will explore the most inspiring and inaccessible places on Earth starting April 15. Swan Hellenic’s third expedition vessel, she will be debuting two new interior spaces. These include a dedicated multifunctional room and a private dining room for special occasions. SH Diana also provides extensive open views, with plenty of outside deck areas, multiple observation points, and bright, open, and relaxing public spaces offering unobstructed views.

American Serenade – American Cruise Lines

Debuting on April 23, American Serenade will carry passengers along the legendary Mississippi River. She will boast an updated modern interior design, integrating an elegant and refined aesthetic with American Cruise Line’s tradition for spacious comfort. On board, her designs draw inspiration from geography across America, with natural textual elements, serene color palettes, and panoramic designs. With 150 percent more glass than most river cruise vessels, American Serenade has also been purpose-built to ensure passengers can enjoy the passing river views.

Viking Saturn – Viking Cruises

Viking Saturn will depart on its maiden voyage on May 2, with a maiden season in the Mediterranean and around Northern Europe. Inspired by its itineraries, the vessel incorporates a modern Scandinavian design with elegant touches and intimate spaces. Her design is also heavily inspired by Nordic traditions, mythology and the exploratory spirit of the original Vikings. The onboard spa further links the vessel to its Scandinavian roots, with a traditional sauna and Snow Grotto.

Ambition – Ambassador Cruise Line

On May 12, Ambassador Cruise Line will launch its second vessel with Ambition . Previously sailing as AidaMira, Ambition has been redesigned into a 1,200 passenger ship catering to the 50+ British market. On board, Ambition will provide a tiered main theatre, casino, card room, library, craft studio, wellness center, gymnasium, two swimming pools, a range of shops, and two main restaurants.

Resilient Lady – Virgin Voyages

On May 14, Virgin Voyages’ third vessel, Resilient Lady , will set sail on her maiden voyage. Resilient Lady will feature lots of cutting edge technology, with extensive use of domotics in her cabins. These will allow passengers to manage a wide range of cabin functions, from temperature and lighting to music and television through a smartphone app. This allows guests to curate a personalized experience. Resilient Lady’s staterooms will also have sensors that detect whether or not the cabin is occupied, allowing the blinds to shut automatically and the air conditioning and lighting to adjust to optimal power saving settings.

Oceania Vista – Oceania Cruises

When she departs on May 13, Oceania Vista will be the first of two new 1,200-passenger Allura-class vessels, with the second due for delivery in 2025.

A Japanese billionaire canceled his trip to the moon on a SpaceX rocket after too many delays

• Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will no longer fly to the moon aboard SpaceX's rocket, Starship.
• A statement said the voyage was scheduled for 2023, but delays made the timeline "unfeasible."
• The uncertain launch schedule prompted Maezawa to scrap the project.

Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has canceled his star-studded trip to the moon aboard a rocket designed by Elon Musk's company, SpaceX .

The project's official website, dearMoon, published a statement on Saturday. Maezawa, the founder of online retailer Zozotown, first announced the project in 2018 and described it as "the world's first civilian circumlunar voyage aboard SpaceX's space vehicle, Starship."

SpaceX and dearMoon made plans to take flight by the end of 2023.

"Unfortunately, however, launch within 2023 became unfeasible, and without clear schedule certainty in the near-term, it is with a heavy heart that Maezawa made the unavoidable decision to cancel the project," the statement read.

Maezawa echoed the statement with an X post, writing, "I can't plan my future in this situation, and I feel terrible making the crew members wait longer, hence the difficult decision to cancel at this point in time."

"I apologize to those who were excited for this project to happen," he added.

A dearMoon representative confirmed the cancellation in a statement to Business Insider. Representatives for SpaceX did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Maezawa announced the eight people who would fly aboard the space vehicle in a YouTube video in December 2022. The guest list included American DJ Steve Aoki, K-Pop star T.O.P., and Indian actor Dev Joshi.

The billionaire previously traveled to space in December 2021 during a 12-day trip to the International Space Station . He spent an estimated $80 million to ride aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket .

Musk founded SpaceX in 2022 and recently answered questions about the company during the annual Milken Institute Global Conference in May.

When asked if artificial intelligence could speed up his space exploration efforts, Musk said that "almost no AI is used" in that field.

He added that he's not against integrating AI, but "we haven't seen a use for it."
