The Seriously Suite is one of Virgin's most-booked cabins. Cabin 11278Z delivers it from a midship, starboard side position on Deck 11.
Upgrade to the Seriously Suite, Virgin Voyages’ entry RockStar retreat. A spacious king bedroom and lounge open toward sea views, while a marble bathroom with rainfall shower, premium linens, mood lighting, and a stocked bar dial up the comfort. RockStar perks include priority boarding, Richard’s Rooftop access, and dedicated concierge. Book with Serious Sailors for expert suite advice and VIP planning.
About the cabin number itself: the letter at the end of every Seriously Suite tells you which side of the ship you're on. A-suffixed cabins sit on the port side (left, facing forward); Z-suffixed cabins sit on the starboard side (right). Cabin 11278Z ends in Z, so it’s a starboard-side cabin — its mirror twin 11278A is the identical layout on port.
What makes 11278Z specific is its placement. Midship is the steadiest stretch of the ship — the smart pick if motion matters to you. Deck 11 sets your elevator distance to dining and the pool deck. the "Z" suffix puts you on the starboard side (right, facing forward). Cabin 11278Z also has the forward elevators practically at the door. Prefer to compare the whole category? See every Seriously Suite cabin →
Bed position can make or break a cabin. Here's exactly how it sits inside 11278Z and what's on either side of you when you sleep.
| Bed configuration | Sleeps | Convertible |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Queen (2 Twins) | Optional Pullman | 3 | Yes — at no extra charge |
In cabin 11278Z, the foot of the bed faces forward toward the bow, so you fall asleep with the wake behind you and wake up looking out toward the ocean ahead of the ship. Because the bed sits closer to the terrace, the cabin-door side has noticeably more floor clearance — useful for keeping luggage near the entry or moving around without stepping past the bed at night. Cabin 11278Z also includes an optional Pullman bed — a fold-down twin fixed to the wall that sleeps a third guest and folds away by day to keep the floor open. The queen bed also splits into two twins at no extra charge — just request that setup before you sail.

The Seriously Suite is a study in space — every square foot earns its place. Here's what's where.
