Burnie, Tasmania

Tasmania’s most exciting western destination features a thriving art, food, and wildlife scene unlike any other in the world. Burnie has transformed into a vibrant coastal city of tastemakers. Day trips to the coast and nearby forests allow for beautiful bushwalks, waterfalls and sprawling rhododendron gardens, while dusk over Emu Bay brings the arrival of its most popular locals — little penguins.

Wonderful Day at Sea

With its many attractions, outdoor experiences and natural beauty, Newcastle is the ultimate weekend getaway in NSW. Experience the incredible panoramic vistas the coastline has to offer by following the ANZAC Memorial Walk or The Bathers Way Walk, which follows the coastline from Nobby's Beach to Merewether Beach.

Sydney, Australia

One of the most visually stunning and welcoming cities in the world fans out from the focal point of Circular Quay, boasting Sydney’s star attractions – Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Spend a few days here to explore Sydney’s wide-ranging cultural life, amazing restaurants, and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches and five major national parks deliver unforgettable experiences.

Atlantis Comes to Australia

Get onboard the very first Atlantis all-gay cruise to sail exclusively within Australia, designed for fun and friendship to create the perfect long weekend holiday! We’re sailing Virgin Voyages brand new Resilient Lady from Melbourne to Sydney this summer for four nights of non-stop fun for over 2000 of your new friends!

We’ll pack the ship with excitement, ranging from Atlantis’ signature performers, top Australian talent, Virgin’s massively creative shows, and of course our legendary parties featuring both international and local DJ talent in the best settings we’ve ever had!

Look for talent announcements in late November, but in the meantime we’re making it easier than ever to sample Atlantis and Virgin with incredible deals from just AUD $599. See below for all the amazing inclusions!

Play Like a Virgin

Experience the first ship purpose built for hyper-social, endlessly interactive, original fun — changing everything you thought about playing on the ocean. You’ll feel like a true sailor on our own massive yacht-like playground.

Imagine a pool deck flawlessly designed for both relaxing and dancing. A gym you never want to leave. Chilling out on a net 13 stories above the sea. Wellness that surrounds you. Innovative dining with a non-stop parade of choices. Brunch in two places. Everyday. Drag queen hosts and pop-up moments of pure joy. Shows where you’re a part of the action and magic in unexpected places. That’s the way we play on Virgin Voyages with Atlantis.

There’s never been more spectacular settings for Atlantis parties, dazzling venues for shows, and so much more. We’ve never played like this before on any ship sailing today!

Dazzling Spectacles. Everywhere.

Our non-stop festival of talent features our community’s top entertainers and more in truly sensational venues. The transformational Red Room comes alive with Atlantis’ signature performers — drag queens, comics, acrobatic shows, Broadway stars and so much more. Add in Virgin’s thrilling production shows and interactive experiences to create a landscape of entertainment unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

Get up close in the intimate Manor with a non-stop parade of hilarious comedians, outrageous drag shows, specialty acts, and plenty of surprises. It’s the perfect venue to try out some original talent or a new take on a favorite.

All Feet On Deck

Atlantis’ legendary outdoor parties get an upgrade on a pool deck at sea perfectly designed for our style of free-spirited dancing under the sun and stars. Afternoons sizzle with themed t-dances into the sunset. At night we’ll present the world’s finest DJs in a dazzling production filled with lasers, video, and sophisticated lights filling the night sky. This ship was built for a party like ours!

We’ll mix things up with some fabulous parties and late-night events in the Manor nightclub and Red Room, showcasing a spectacle unlike anything else seen on Atlantis.

We’re Going Places, Too!

If you’re in the mood for exploring, we’re stopping by two charming off-the-beaten-path destinations along the way. Immerse yourself in Burnie, Tasmania’s charm, featuring stunning Art Deco architecture. Enjoy fresh Tasmanian produce before exploring the serene Guide Falls Reserve, the vibrant Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden, or one of Burnie’s tranquil beaches.

Our day in Newcastle offer up a world of exciting possibilities, from the wineries of nearby Hunter Valley to beautiful Nooby Beach or historic Fort Scratchley. Don’t miss vibrant Darby Street or Newcastle Harbour for a taste of the best coastal cuisine and relaxing spots to visit.

Everything Included. For Nothing.

Nobody likes paying for things they use all the time, like Wifi, basic beverages, and a terrific place for dinner. So, we don’t charge extra for them. Ever. Even fitness classes are included! Log on, drink up, spin a little, and enjoy!

Every fabulously original restaurant is included with more choices than any other ship at sea. All you need to do is decide whether to indulge in fresh Italian at Extra Virgin, Korean BBQ at Gumbae, an inventive tasting menu at the Test Kitchen, brunch or steak at the Wake, all-day treats at Razzle Dazzle, and so much more. And there’s no buffet in sight. Or a massive banquet-like main hall. But who needs one with all these amazing spots?

Oh, and by basic beverages we mean sodas, water, coffees, juices, and most non-alcoholic offerings. The hard stuff is, of course, extra.
