Ever dreamt of having the ability to get on and off any cruise ship you please for a whole year? You can do just that now, thanks to Virgin Voyages. The cruise line just announced an industry first: an annual pass for unlimited cruises for an entire year. For $120,000, you and one guest can enjoy up to 365 days sailing on any of Virgin Voyages’ itineraries in Europe, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and other destinations.
Virgin Voyages offers standout destinations all over the world. In the Mediterranean, seven-night voyages sail from home ports in Barcelona, Spain, and Athens, Greece. The cruise line also offers journeys to eight postcard-worthy destinations in the Caribbean, which all begin at Virgin Voyages’ exclusive Terminal V in Port Miami. North American trips include the Northeast, wild West Coast, Panama and Alaska.
The cruise line announced this new pass following the success of its Season Pass program. Eligible bookings are available now through March 31, 2025, with sailing dates starting as early as Jan. 1. This pass applies to voyages on Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady. All ships carry up to 2,700 passengers.
Brilliant Lady, set to launch in 2025 as the cruise line’s newest ship, will begin sailings from New York City in September and October to Halifax, Boston, Charleston, Bermuda and Québec City. Next winter, the new ship will look to the Caribbean, where it will dock in Miami for seven- to 12-night itineraries to destinations like Jamaica, Bonaire, Curaçao and Aruba.
The annual pass covers double occupancy in Sea Terrace cabins, exclusive perks like Deep Blue Extras, a $100 bar tab credit per voyage, premium WiFi for two devices, complimentary laundry services and more. Cabin upgrades are not included but can be purchased through Virgin Voyages’ Level Upgrade Program.
Deep Blue Extras include gratuities, access to more than 20 eateries, access to entertainment and events, two specialty coffees per day, priority boarding at embarkation and access to an exclusive cocktail event.
Plan on traveling alone? The annual pass is available to solo travelers, too, but pricing remains based on double occupancy. A third or fourth passenger can be added to your cabin at the prevailing rate, but the annual pass only covers two guests.
This pass is valid for one year from the start date of either Jan. 1, Feb. 1, March 1 or April 1.
To book this pass, call Virgin Voyages at 954 488 2955.
