Mash-Up Monday, but our CEO brought the idea this time 😋 A lamb shank wrap, only at Ariya.

Proof that great ideas can start anywhere: even the C-suite. This week's mash-up had an unusual origin story: the idea came from Virgin Voyages' own CEO, Nirmal Saverimuttu, which is either a great use of executive time or the most relatable lunch order in company history. Chef Levi took it from there. The build: Lamb Shank Biryani, fragrant saffron basmati, and papadum get folded together, then wrapped in garlicky naan with a silky whipped paneer dip and a pickled lime honey doing the heavy lifting on flavor. What started as a rice dish ends up eaten like a burrito, which is the whole appeal of a Mash-Up Monday. Like every restaurant on a Virgin Voyages ship, Ariya is included in the fare, no specialty dining upcharge required to try Chef Levi's latest experiment. Frequently Asked Questions What is Mash-Up Mondays on Virgin Voyages? It's a recurring series where Virgin Voyages chefs combine two existing dishes into a new one, usually built from ingredients Sailors would already recognize from the regular menu. This episode's version turned a lamb shank biryani and a naan into a handheld wrap at Ariya. Is dining included on Virgin Voyages? Yes, every restaurant onboard is included in the voyage fare, with no specialty dining upcharge. That's not the norm across cruise lines, many of which charge extra for specialty restaurants on top of the cruise fare, so it's worth checking before you assume it's included elsewhere. On Virgin Voyages, that no-upcharge policy covers Ariya and every Mash-Up Monday creation that comes out of it. What ship is Ariya on? Ariya is the nighttime restaurant that takes over the Razzle Dazzle space on Valiant Lady. The concept changes by ship: Scarlet Lady's Razzle Dazzle becomes Lucky Lotus, a Chinese-inspired concept at night. Brilliant Lady's becomes Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, with a Spanish menu. Resilient Lady keeps the regular Razzle Dazzle dinner menu instead of switching to a themed concept. It's worth checking your specific ship if a particular restaurant is a reason for booking.
