“The best vacation we’ve ever been on. Hands down.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Tom and Jennifer
Vacation With Friends You Haven’t Met Yet
You’ve taken vacations before.
You’ve seen the views.
You’ve eaten at the restaurants.
You’ve taken the photos.
But have you ever come home from vacation with a new group of friends you can’t wait to see again?
That’s what makes a Spicy Vacations experience different.
Join Matt & Bianca aboard Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady for seven unforgettable nights of nature, adventure, laughter, connection, and the opportunity to meet hundreds of open-minded couples who are just as curious, adventurous, and fun-loving as you.
This isn’t just another cruise.
It’s a chance to find your people.
What Makes This Different From A Normal Cruise?
Anyone can book a cabin on Virgin Voyages.
But only Spicy Vacations guests get the community experience.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll have opportunities to connect through:
❤️ Pre-cruise meet & greet in Seattle
🍹 Daily social events onboard
🍽 Group dinners with new friends
🚶 Cabin crawls
🎉 Bar crawls
🥂 Hosted gatherings with Matt & Bianca
☀️ Top-optional Meet and Greet
💬 Private group chat before sailing
Participation is always optional.
Want to spend the day exploring ports with new friends? Awesome.
Want to disappear with your partner for a romantic afternoon? Also awesome.
This is your vacation.
We simply make it easier to meet amazing people.
The Spicy Vacations Difference
Smaller Group. Bigger Connections.
Some lifestyle events feel overwhelming.
Thousands of people.
Anonymous faces.
Hard to know where you belong.
We intentionally keep our groups smaller so people actually have the chance to connect.
By the end of the week, you won’t just know usernames.
You’ll know stories.
You’ll know personalities.
You’ll know who you want to vacation with again.
Perfect For Couples Who Are…
✅ Curious about the lifestyle and want a welcoming first experience
✅ Experienced lifestyle couples looking for a fun community
✅ Tired of traditional vacations
✅ Looking for adventure beyond the usual resort experience
✅ Interested in meeting like-minded adults without pressure
A note about our community:
Spicy Vacations is built around creating a welcoming environment for open-minded couples. We also welcome a limited number of single guests who align with our values and help contribute to the respectful, fun atmosphere our community is known for.
What Happens If We’re New?
Honestly?
That’s exactly how many of our guests started.
A lot of couples arrive thinking:
“Will we fit in?”
“Will everyone be intimidating?”
“Are we going to feel awkward?”
Then something funny happens.
By day two, they’re usually asking:
“Why didn’t we do this sooner?”
Spicy Vacations is built around connection, respect, and consent.
Nobody is expected to be anything except themselves.
Start Your Adventure in Seattle
Seattle is where city energy meets the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Before setting sail, explore the iconic Pike Place Market, grab a coffee in the city that helped make coffee culture famous, take in panoramic views of the skyline and Puget Sound, or wander the waterfront with the Olympic Mountains in the distance. With incredible seafood, lively neighborhoods, and stunning scenery around nearly every corner, Seattle isn’t just where your vacation begins. It’s a destination worth arriving early for.
Discover the Charm of Ketchikan
Welcome to Ketchikan, where colorful waterfront buildings, towering evergreens, and Alaska’s rugged wilderness come together in one unforgettable stop. Stroll historic Creek Street, discover the area’s rich Native Alaskan culture and incredible collection of totem poles, or venture beyond town in search of waterfalls, wildlife, and breathtaking forest scenery. Known as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” Ketchikan delivers that classic Alaska experience you’ve been imagining, with plenty of adventure packed into one beautiful port.
Experience the Beauty of Sitka
Surrounded by forest-covered mountains and the sparkling waters of the Pacific, Sitka offers a gorgeous blend of Alaska’s natural beauty, wildlife, and history. Explore the scenic trails and towering totem poles of Sitka National Historical Park, watch for bald eagles and sea otters, or simply wander through this charming coastal town with incredible views in every direction. With its rich Tlingit heritage, Russian influences, and spectacular wilderness setting, Sitka feels like the Alaska you came all this way to experience.
Journey Into Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier
Get ready for one of the most spectacular days of your Alaskan adventure. As we sail deep into Endicott Arm, you’ll be surrounded by towering mountains, dramatic waterfalls, floating icebergs, and pristine wilderness before reaching the magnificent Dawes Glacier. Keep your eyes open for seals, whales, and other wildlife along the way, then watch as the massive wall of blue ice comes into view. This isn’t just another port of call. It’s the kind of breathtaking Alaska moment you’ll be talking about long after the cruise is over.
Discover Beautiful Victoria, B.C.
Finish your adventure with a taste of British Columbia in beautiful Victoria. This charming waterfront city blends old-world character with gorgeous gardens, historic architecture, lively restaurants, and picture-perfect harbor views. Stroll through the Inner Harbour, see the iconic Parliament Buildings, explore the shops and pubs downtown, or venture out to the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Elegant, walkable, and full of personality, Victoria is a fantastic final stop before returning to Seattle.
