Sailing October 10 from Miami, the 5-day voyage will take place aboard Valiant Lady and is being offered in partnership with iHeartPodcasts. Travelers will have a chance to visit Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and the line¡¯s Beach Club at Bimini before returning to Miami.

Along the way, they¡¯ll have a chance to engage with three of iHeartPodcasts¡¯ most popular shows: Betrayal, Buried Bones and Stuff They Don¡¯t Want You to Know. Activities include live podcast records, behind-the-scenes workshops, meet-and-greets with hosts, giveaways and themed cocktails and bites.?

¡°It¡¯s going to be mysterious, glamorous and like nothing else at sea,¡± says Nicole Huang, senior vice president of fleet experiences at Virgin Voyages.?

Since the sailing takes place just before Halloween, there will also be lots of holiday-inspired programming, including costume contests, bar crawls, eerie entertainment, a special edition of the ship¡¯s beloved Happenings Cast show and a spooky version of the Scarlet Night soiree.

¡°We¡¯re beyond excited to bring our investigations to the high seas as there¡¯s something deliciously twisted about discussing cold cases while sipping cocktails under the Caribbean sun,¡± says Kate Winkler Dawson, co-host of Buried Bones. ¡°Our fans are going to experience true crime storytelling like never before, and honestly, what better setting for mystery than the middle of the ocean?¡±
