Headliners Lucy Beaumont, Babatunde Aléshé, Desiree Burch, Milton Jones, and Seann Walsh will be joined by a phenomenal lineup of support acts, delivering razor-sharp wit, hilarious storytelling, and side-splitting sets from bow to stern.
Supporting comedian Matt Richardson took to TikTok to talk about the Virgin Voyages Comedy Fest cruise. "Virgin book younger acts, and because they’re adults only you don’t need to do a clean show!" "-the gigs are great, the room's really good." For passengers excited to join Virgin Voyages, who run adult-only ships, they can enjoy loads of different comics who present some of the funniest voices in the UK comedy scene. “I’m doing it, Milton Jones, Sean Walsh, Laura Smyth, loads of amazing names.”“All the entertainment, there’s 15 to 20 comics, we’re all doing shows, we’re all doing gigs and it’s going to be a really good laugh.”
Catch your favourite comedians in The Manor, sip cocktails under the stars, or toast the night with champagne as laughter takes over the ship. From immersive late-night shows to unforgettable onboard moments, Comedy Fest 2026 is curated for guests who love brilliant comedy and extraordinary travel.

Mr Simpson / July 2026
Sean in your castle court branch Belfast who looked after us was amazing, he had so much patience, checking different itineraries for us and had lots of advice and recommendations. Nothing was to much bother. We felt unpressured and Sean was very understanding as we left for a coffee to chat it over only to come back and book 30 mins later. Sean is brilliant character and an assest to your team. We felt really confident when booking with him.
Mr & Mrs Donaghy / July 2026
Excellent service in and 10 minutes later holiday booked and back out the door, if only someone had offered to pay it. Still nothing is ever perfect but Stewart Travel is as good as it gets.
