Calling all armchair detectives! True Crime is hitting the high seas, because the first-ever true crime-themed cruise is setting sail — and it features all of your favorite true crime podcasts.

The five-night Virgin Voyages True Crime Voyage promises to be a "groundbreaking cultural experience that taps into one of today's most compelling storytelling phenomena." In partnership with iHeartPodcasts and some of its premiere podcasts including "Betrayal," "Buried Bones" and "Stuff They Don't Want You To Know," sailors will get the thrill of their lives during a truly spine-tingling trip full of unforgettable experiences.

"Betrayal" pulls back the curtain on real-life stories of deception, heartbreak and resilience. From explosive secrets to shocking double lives, each season follows individuals blindsided by the people they trusted most and their journey to reclaim power and find justice. With millions of listeners and a devoted following, Betrayal delivers jaw-dropping twists and deeply human stories that stick with listeners long after the final episode.

"Buried Bones," hosted by legendary cold case and forensic investigator Paul Holes and true crime historian and journalist Kate Winkler Dawson, exhumes some of history’s most riveting true crime cases and reexamines them through a modern forensic lens. From unsolved murders to infamous scandals, this hit series blends historical intrigue with investigative expertise, bringing fresh perspective to decades-old mysteries. With its rich storytelling and chilling insights, Buried Bones is a must-listen for true crime fans who crave depth, drama, and a little historical detective work.

"Stuff They Don't Want You To Know" has kept fans questioning everything since 2008. Hosts Ben Bowlin, Matt Frederick and Noel Brown unpack history’s most bizarre and unexplained events, from UFOs and psychic powers to government cover-ups, cults and lost civilizations. Equal parts spooky and thought-provoking, Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know explores the strange, surreal, and suspicious sides of our world, including crime, and what might be hiding just beneath the surface.

Throughout the voyage, sailors will enjoy live podcast recordings (the hosts will all be on board!), behind-the-scenes "How to Podcast" workshops, exclusive meet-and-greets with hosts, special giveaways, and themed cocktails and bites inspired by infamous cases. And with the cruise setting sail on October 10th, there will also be an entire lineup of Halloween-inspired programming, including costume contests, bar crawls, eerie entertainment and a special edition of the ship's beloved Happenings Cast show, as well as a spooky version of Virgin Voyages' signature Scarlet Night soiree. This is the ultimate true crime and Halloween experience — with a dash of sunshine.

"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. 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?" said Kate Winkler Dawson, co-host of "Buried Bones."

This one-of-a-kind cruise will explore the white-sand beaches and colorful charm of Dominican Republic’s Puerto Plata before heading over to the Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin's private Bahamian hideaway which offers luxe daybeds, a lagoon-style pool, locally inspired flavors and restorative wellness experiences like beach yoga. And with exclusive access to podcast hosts and programming tailored specifically for this trip, the True Crime Voyage is an experience any true crime fanatic won't get anywhere else.
