Virgin Voyages Revises 2027 West Coast Cruise Itineraries
What happened
Virgin Voyages is revising its 2027 West Coast cruise season, announcing changes to its itineraries departing from Los Angeles. The cruise line canceled a seven-night sailing departing Los Angeles on October 30, 2027, because of a private charter. Furthermore, a seven-night voyage scheduled to depart November 6, 2027, will be replaced by separate three- and four-night cruises. These revisions follow a challenging 2026 season, during which some sailings were diverted from the Mexican Riviera to the California coast due to hurricanes.
