Virgin Voyages revs up nostalgia for star-powered sailings with Spice Girl icon Mel C and disco legend Kathy Sledge to headline its 2025 Celebration Voyages plus a brand-new Red Hot Sailing Club Voyage for 2026.
Sailing from European ports, the remaining two 2025 Celebration Voyages will feature Melanie C (aka Sporty Spice) on the Lisbon Celebration Voyage, departing on 22 July 2025 on Scarlet Lady, and Kathy Sledge of Sister Sledge fame on the Athens departure on 18 May 2025 aboard Resilient Lady.
They follow the first of the three specialty cruises with reggaeton star Nicky Jam, who is currently headlining the Miami Celebration cruise on Valiant Lady.
Think: epic DJ sets, live performances and Virgin’s signature mix of luxe cruising and pop culture nostalgia on these musical experiences at sea. These cruises also feature Virgin guest speakers and special events.
Virgin Voyages will rename these specialty cruises as Red Hot Sailing Club Voyages for 2026, combining the musical legacy of the Celebration Voyages with fresh entertainment and programming.
The Red Hot Sailing Club Voyage will depart Miami for the Caribbean on 12 March 2026.
Virgin Voyages Director of Immersive Experiences Jamie Douglas said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Kathy Sledge and Melanie C home to Virgin for these Celebration Voyages.”
“These influential artists, who are both part of the Virgin music family, create remarkable communities through their music, a perfect alignment with the spirit and connection that defines the Virgin Voyages experience.”
