All 55 outward facing cabins have private facilities, air conditioning/heating, satellite TV in port and in-house videos while sailing, twin beds (except singles) and a continental type electricity socket (220V). Whilst on board the Virginia you will receive buffet breakfast, with hot food available, a three course lunch and dinner, plus morning and afternoon tea/coffee. Prices are based on sharing a two berth cabin on the Rear Promenade/Main Deck (Grade C). Please note that supplements reflect the deck or cabin position and not the size of the cabin, except A+ cabins, which are larger. Grade C cabins may be subject to engine noise (only daytime sailing!). Due to steep stairs between decks, the ship is not suitable for people with walking difficulties (no stair lift).
