Filmed during a real Virgin Voyages cruise on Scarlet Lady.
I use a compact camera setup designed for cruise travel, night scenes, and water shots.
Main footage is shot on Sony A7 IV with a 24–70mm f/2.8 lens for low-light and cinematic onboard scenes.
A DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is used for everyday travel moments, GoPro for pool shots, and Insta360 for immersive ship walkthroughs.
