The Dock House
“The Dock House is by far one of my favorite spots to hang out on a Virgin Voyages cruise . I love the laid-back Mediterranean vibe and the social atmosphere. You don’t need to a reservation and the food is included. Try the Grilled Shrimp and if you like Bourbon, I recommend the Fig Sour and the Wild Rose Spritz-Ah is a welcome mid-afternoon refreshment.”

The Dock House Overview

The Mediterranean-inspired menu includes a variety of small plates and flame-grilled skewers, as well as a Mezze cart with bites and sips for a quick meal. And, of course, a great selection of signature Med-inspired cocktails, curated wines, beers and spirits.
