ITINERARY
Thornwood High School Class of 2001
The 25+1 Reunion
Miami • Key West • Bimini
June 17–21, 2027 | Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady
We waited 25 years. What’s one more?
The Thornwood High School Class of 2001 is taking our 25+1 Reunion to sea!
This is more than a cruise. This is our reunion!
The Committee is planning dedicated Class of 2001 moments throughout the weekend so we have plenty of opportunities to reconnect as a class while still leaving everyone time to enjoy their vacation.
Your reunion experience will include:
-
Official pre-cruise Miami Welcome Reception
-
Class of 2001 meetups and activities
-
Reunion swag
-
Dedicated reunion programming
-
Group dinner/event
-
A few surprises along the way
-
Additional themes, activities, attire, and reunion details will be announced as we get closer to sailing.
TWO STEPS TO JOIN THE REUNION
1. Book your Virgin Voyages cruise. This reserves your cabin and gets you on the ship.
2. Register for the Class of 2001 Reunion. Pay the $60 per-person reunion fee to participate in official reunion activities, programming, and receive reunion swag.
You must complete both steps to participate in the official reunion experience.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN ADULTS-ONLY REUNION EXPERIENCE
Virgin Voyages is an adults-only cruise line. All sailors must be 18 years or older at the time of sailing.
Classmates are welcome to bring spouses, partners, friends, and other adult guests.
Join your classmates for four nights aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady as we reconnect, celebrate, laugh about things that probably should stay in 2001, and make some new memories together.
We’ll sail round-trip from Miami with stops in Key West and Bimini, Bahamas — plus plenty of time together onboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Virgin Voyages Cancellation Policy & Travel Protection:
Can I book the cruise now and pay the reunion fee later?
Yes. Cruise booking and reunion registration are separate transactions. However, both must be completed by February 17, 2027, to participate in the official reunion experience.
What if I book the cruise but don't complete reunion registration?
You'll still have your Virgin Voyages reservation, but you will not be registered for the official Class of 2001 reunion program or activities. Complete both the cruise booking and reunion registration to participate in the full reunion experience.
What is Virgin Voyages' cancellation policy? Our cancellation policy was created to provide a better experience for our Sailors. Here's everything you need to know:
-
If you’re booking more than 120 days prior to the start of the voyage, you have a 7-day grace period to request a full refund on your deposit and any other payments made. Refunds will be issued to your original form of payment.
-
After the 7-day grace period (but still before the 120-day window), you can receive a full refund on any payments, excluding your deposit. For your deposit, you will receive Future Voyage Credit at this time.
-
Between 119 and 45 days, any funds paid will be converted to Future Voyage Credit (FVC), good to use on any voyage 1 year from the original voyage start date. Sweet deal, huh?
-
Once you’re within 44 days of your voyage, all funds paid are final. But you do have the option to send someone else in your place up to 48 hours before your voyage if you really can't sail. Please note that taxes and fees will be refunded regardless of when the booking is canceled.
Have more questions? No worries. Our Sailor Services Crew or your travel agent can help walk you through the process. As always, we recommend you purchase our Voyage Protection.
When can I add Voyage Protection to my booking?
Voyage Protection can be purchased at any time before the final payment is made on a booking.
