Virgin Voyages, Richard Branson’s kid-free, boutique hotel at sea, announced today an all-new, industry first travel offer fit for the wanderlust explorer. In celebration of Travel Tuesday, and on the heels of the brand’s sold-out Summer Season Pass, travelers can now experience what it’s like to Set Sail the Virgin Way all year long. Starting from sailings in 2025, they can hop onto any ship, anytime, from anywhere – for an entire calendar year. Whether Sailors are chasing the sun to soak in the crystal blue waters of St. Kitts, dreaming of tangerine sunsets in Ibiza, or stargazing alongside the Icelandic shores, there is no shortage of itineraries, destinations and voyage lengths to choose from.
In addition to this first-of-its-kind adventure, Annual Pass can also be purchased using Bitcoin. As an industry first innovation, Virgin Voyages’ Annual Pass will be the first cruise product to accept a cryptocurrency payment option.
Richard Branson, Virgin Group Founder, said, “I’ve always been a big believer in the power of travel and adventure to spark creativity and bring clarity. What started as a sought after ‘work from sea’ concept with our Season Pass has evolved into something even more special. Now, Sailors can jump aboard any of our ships, across an endless variety of exciting destinations for an entire year. We’re offering unlimited opportunities for adventure in a way that has never been done in cruising before.”
Virgin Voyages’ Annual Pass will allow Sailors the opportunity to explore every Lady Ship in the fleet, including inaugural voyages on the much-anticipated fourth and final vessel, Brilliant Lady, debuting in September ‘25. Sailing anytime, from anywhere, this global vacation includes a spot in a Sea Terrace cabin, featuring balcony views and the brand’s iconic red hammock. With start dates as early as Jan. 1 through April of 2025, Annual Pass holders will be able to sail on any ship, on any voyage, valid for one year from the selected date.
Offering better value than living in most major cities, Annual Pass includes special on-board perks including priority boarding, complimentary laundry services, dedicated concierge support, unlimited premium wifi, a $100 Bar Tab credit per voyage, and access to exclusive events and experiences on-board. As an added benefit, Annual Pass holders are welcome to add a plus one to their cabin, with the ability to travel with different companions throughout the year.
The Virgin Voyages Annual Pass is available on a first-come, first-served basis with a base fare total of $120,000 USD, excluding taxes and fees for voyages booked. Pass holders can select a start date of Jan. 1, Feb. 1, March 1 or April 1, and the pass will be valid for one year from the desired start date. Sailors must book between now and March 31, 2025. First Mates (travel advisors) who sell Annual Pass will earn a commission of $10,000 USD. Annual Pass is not combinable with other offers or Bar Tab. Sailors will also earn Deep Blue Extras upon booking.
