Set Sail for Laughter: First Virgin Voyages Comedy Fest from New York to Bermuda on Valiant Lady

In 2026, Virgin Voyages will host its inaugural Comedy Fest cruise on the adults-only ship, Valiant Lady. This special voyage will depart from New York City and head to Bermuda, running from April 11th to April 16th.

The cruise will feature two days of port stops at Bermuda’s Royal Naval Dockyard/King’s Wharf along with a robust comedy show lineup curated by the collective Don’t Tell Comedy. Known for its surprise performances in unique venues, Don’t Tell Comedy will create a program blending scheduled stand-up acts and spontaneous sets in different locations aboard the ship.

The Comedy Fest will highlight an array of professional comedians who will perform across various experience levels, including both headline shows and more intimate gatherings during the cruise, catering to guests on sea days and evenings.

The itinerary allows for an overnight stay in Bermuda, offering guests the chance to explore local attractions between comedy performances. This approach represents a new direction for the Comedy Fest, moving from its previous Caribbean routes to an Atlantic round trip from a U.S. port.

Beyond the comedy offerings, Valiant Lady will integrate this themed event with its comprehensive suite of onboard entertainment, dining, and social activities, designed specifically for adult travelers.

In addition to the April cruise, Virgin Voyages has announced another comedy-focused sailing from the United Kingdom scheduled for August 2026, further emphasizing the company’s commitment to live performance programming in their seasonal offerings.
