All about Virgin Voyages' The Galley

The Galley is the go-to place for casual food on a Virgin Voyages cruise. They insist it's not a buffet, and technically they're correct (the food isn't self-serve and a good portion is made-to-order). Still, it's probably more of a cross between a traditional buffet and a food hall.

In The Galley, you'll find several food stations like The Daily Mix, Diner & Dash, Bento Baby, Burger Bar, Let's Taco Bout It, Hot Off the Press, and Noodle Around. You'll also find some great desserts and bread at Well Bread.

When it first launched, Virgin wanted you to sit at a table, scan a QR code for a menu, raise a flag, and then a waiter would take your order and bring you your food. Now, while that's still an option, it's more common to walk up to the food stall and place your order. If it's not ready right away, they'll take your name and call you.

In addition to the menus below, most food stalls also have a daily special listed.
