You Can Spend Months at Sea With Virgin Voyages' New All-You-Can-Cruise Annual Pass

Virgin Voyages Annual Pass is the first of its kind in the cruising industry.

The pass is available for purchase now and until March 31, 2025. Pass holders can choose between four starting dates for their Annual Pass: January 1, February 1, March 1, or April 1, 2025.

While the cruise line’s website states that “there are a limited number of Annual Passes”, in an email conversation, a spokesperson for Virgin Voyages explains “we’re currently not capping how many passes we’re offering.”

The Annual Pass, which includes complimentary laundry, premium WiFi, a $100 bar tab for each itinerary, and two specialty coffees per day, is meant to appeal to those who can work remotely and ditch their rentals to spend one year at sea. Note that shore excursions are not included in the pass but that pass holders get priority access to select Shore Things.

Needless to say that in purchasing this pass, travelers aren’t signing up for a dreary inside cabin. Pass holders get a Sea Terrace cabin with a square footage ranging from 185 to 225 square feet, and a balcony from where pas can take in the sea views.

The best part of the pass, however, is likely the fact that its price of $120,000 (plus taxes) includes a plus-one, whom you can change as many times as you want throughout the year.

While $60,000 per year per person remains a hefty price, when you include all the perks, it’s much lower than other long-term cruises, including Royal Caribbean’s famous Ultimate World Cruise, which cost between $54,000 and $117,000 per person for a nine-month period, and most much shorter world cruises.

If you can’t swing such a big sum, you can opt for the cruise line’s Summer Season Pass, which is back for 2025. The Summer Season Pass offers the same benefits as the Annual Pass but for a much shorter period: from 24 to 40 nights, starting at $14,999.
