The cards are only the beginning! From themed activities and group gatherings to laughs, music, games, and unforgettable moments, there’s always something happening with our crew. Come for the Spades, but stay for the friendships, the fun, and the memories you’ll make along the way.

Virgin Voyages features several popular theme nights, with Scarlet Night being a signature, shipwide event that culminates in a large party and elaborate shows.
Another common theme is the Pajama Party, a more relaxed evening often held later in the cruise.
Beyond these main events, some sailings may include others, like the We Fancy party with a gold and glitter theme or other special events.

Get ready to board the ultimate Spadespalooza Cruise, where the waves aren’t the only things bringing the heat. For four straight days, teams will battle at the tables, stacking points, sharpening strategies, and talking grade-A smack to secure their ranking. Every hand counts, every bluff matters, and every win gets you one step closer to bragging rights that echo across the ship. Once the rankings are locked in, the real storm begins—our double-elimination tournament, where only the sharpest, boldest, and most ruthless players survive. There’s no hiding on this deck; if you can’t handle the pressure, the ocean breeze won’t save you. But if you’ve got the skills, the grit, and the mouth to match, you just might outplay, outtalk, and outlast the competition. Bring your best game—and your best trash talk—because this cruise crowns only one champion.

1. Do I have to have a partner?
All games will be played with partners, individual stats will be taken. You can bring your normal partner to eliminate the excuses of "If my partner was here..."
2. How are playing? What are the rules?
There will be a variety of table playing rules. Ex: straight, deuces wild, everything goes, going blind
3. Is there a pot?
No, the top winners will receive trophies and bragging rights.
4. Can I bring other people with me?
The more the merrier!
5. What if I kinda know how to play?
Join us for the fun, but don't start talking trash and get your feelings hurt.
6. What if I want to just watch?
Spectators are welcome and could possibly be score keepers
