The Central Sea Terrace is one of Virgin's most-booked cabins. Cabin 13178Z delivers it from a midship, starboard side position on Deck 13.
Midship stability meets oceanfront living in these thoughtfully positioned cabins. You'll find yourself perfectly centered between dining venues and entertainment decks, making every ship experience just an elevator ride away. The terrace catches both sunrise and sunset beautifully, while the cabin's adaptive lighting system shifts from energizing daylight to intimate evening ambiance. Smart storage solutions keep your space uncluttered and zen.
About the cabin number itself: the letter at the end of every Central Sea Terrace 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 13178Z ends in Z, so it’s a starboard-side cabin — its mirror twin 13178A is the identical layout on port.
What makes 13178Z specific is its placement. Midship is the steadiest stretch of the ship — the smart pick if motion matters to you. Deck 13 sets your elevator distance to dining and the pool deck. the "Z" suffix puts you on the starboard side (right, facing forward). It keeps the midship elevators just around the corner, too.

Bed position can make or break a cabin. Here's exactly how it sits inside 13178Z and what's on either side of you when you sleep.
| Bed configuration | Sleeps | Convertible |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Queen (2 Twins) | 2 | Yes — at no extra charge |
Lie down in cabin 13178Z and your feet point toward the stern, so you drift off and wake up oriented back over the ship's wake. With cabin 13178Z's bed closer to the cabin door, the terrace side carries the bulk of the floor space, leaving room for luggage and an easier climb in and out on that edge. Prefer twins? The bed separates into two at no charge, as long as you request it ahead of your voyage.
