Including everybody on this ship.
Virgin Voyages is 18 and over. There is not one child on board. Not one. Five nights, Grand Turk, Bimini, and a whole lot of nothing you have to manage.

For moms with grown, or nearly grown, kids. For the ones who spent a long time making sure everyone else was okay, and are ready to be somewhere that is not about that.
Everyone else is grown and can take care of things. They can figure out dinner.
You get a ship full of grown-ups, ocean in every direction, and a group of women who are also done making time for everyone but themselves. Come get outside a little more.
Round trip from Miami on Virgin Voyages' adults-only Valiant Lady. Saturday, November 27 to Thursday, December 2, 2027.
Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 25. You get the holiday at home, then you leave.
We meet in Miami the night before, Friday, November 26, and travel to the port together. You walk on board already knowing your people.
The Miami night and the ride to the port are an optional add-on. Details below.

You can spend the whole trip on a lounger with a book, and that is a fine trip. When you want company, we will be in a few places on the ship:
These are meeting spots, not a schedule. Come to one, all of them, or none.
Some onboard experiences carry their own charge. The spa is one, and it is listed below.
Use my Virgin Voyages link to complete your booking and pay your deposit. Then we follow up with you, go over any questions, and confirm your add-ons.

You have to book through my link to be part of the Empty Nest Mamas group. Booked anywhere else, Virgin has no way to connect you to us. If you would rather I handle the booking, send me your details here and I will take care of it.
Your cruise is booked, paid for and governed by Virgin Voyages. Virgin sets the fares, the cabin options and its own terms. Look at their fare options when you book to see exactly what each includes. I am your travel advisor, and I stay with you from booking to sailing.
I get a notification when you book through my link, so I will know you are in.
Once your deposit is in and you are in the group, I will send these your way. Each one is optional. Everything is booked and paid through Virgin, and nothing is due today.

I am a brand-new empty nest mama. All three of my kids are now legally adults. (How grown they are is up for debate.) So I know exactly who this trip is for.
I am also the founder of Lawal Travel Services, and I have been planning travel for people since 2016. Before that I managed a portfolio of hotels, more than 13,000 rooms across 40 locations, so I know what goes on behind the front desk. I have also worked a hotel front desk and an airline call center.
On this trip I am your advisor and your host. I get you booked, I tie everything together behind the scenes, and I am on board with the group.

Yes. Virgin Voyages is for guests 18 and over, on every sailing.
It is built for moms with grown or nearly grown kids who are making time for themselves. If that is you, you are in the right place.
Usually, yes. As long as you have not made your final payment, Virgin will typically let your booking be moved over to me. Reach out and I will get it started.
The one exception is if you booked through another travel advisor. I will not move another advisor's booking. That is their client, and it stays with them.
That depends on the fare and cabin you choose, and Virgin sets both. Their booking page shows what each option includes. Gratuities are charged separately, about $100 per person for five nights.
After you have booked and paid your deposit. I will confirm what you would like, reserve it for you, and Virgin bills it to your booking. Nothing is due today.
Thanksgiving 2027 is Thursday, November 25, two days before sailing. If you want the Miami night, we meet Friday, November 26.
