Virgin Voyages upgrades entertainment ahead of Dubai cruise aboard Resilient Lady

Virgin Voyages is upgrading its onboard entertainment fleet-wide ahead of its 2023 cruise from Dubai to Singapore aboard new ship Resilient Lady.

The cruise line is promising new shows, parties, additional live music acts and a festival stage of rotating performances, as well as the return of guests’ favorite shows such as the modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet ‘Duel Reality’ and Untitled Dance-Show-Party-Thing, a music video-style dance show.

“We are so excited to bring our award-winning entertainment approach to life in 2023 across our whole fleet,” said Richard Kilman, Vice President of Entertainment, Virgin Voyages.
