Virgin Voyages’ pass to freedom

Virgin Voyages’ novel promotion offers two guests a year-long, unlimited “pass” to voyage on any of its international itineraries for an up-front fare.

So potentially you and a friend or family member could choose one very long voyage, follow the sun in the Caribbean or Mediterranean, or choose Europe or North America on multiple cruises throughout the year. Virgin also sails transatlantic and repositioning cruises.

Sailings start in January, February, March or April 2025 and can be on any combination of Virgin’s three adults-only big ships — Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady or Resilient Lady. Its latest ship, Brilliant Lady, starts sailing North America and Caribbean cruises in the northern hemisphere autumn in 2025.

Virgin’s young fleet has many of the modern cruising luxuries including lavish cabins, all-inclusive specialty eateries, wellness and fitness classes, and of course Virgin’s “late nights and neon lights” line-up of entertainment.

There are various Annual Pass T&Cs so be sure to read them all before booking. The key details include:

The Annual Pass is a double-occupancy fare costing from $US120,000 ($187,740), plus any applicable taxes and fees. It is non-refundable and full payment is required at time of booking.

The fare includes complimentary laundry services, premium wi-fi for two devices, a $100 bar tab and more.

This pass price is valid for Sea Terrace cabins only, subject to availability, but upgrades can be purchased. These cabins have balconies and most include a hammock.

The passholder must be the primary “sailor” but the guest can vary for each voyage.
