Virgin Voyages Wants to Give Your Clients an Annual Pass for Unlimited Cruising
While celebrating Travel Tuesday yesterday, Virgin Voyages rolled out an Annual Pass promising travelers the ability to sail any ship and any voyage from virtually anywhere for a full calendar year. It's an offering the cruise line—Richard Branson's kid-free, boutique hotel at sea—is billing as an all-new, industry first. The concept reportedly drew inspiration from Virgin's successful Summer Season Pass and the "work from anywhere" concept said to be near and dear to Branson's heart.
"I've always been a big believer in the power of travel and adventure to spark creativity and bring clarity," said Branson, founder of Virgin Group. "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."
The Annual Pass is available on a first-come, first-served basis with a base fare total of $120,000, excluding taxes and fees for voyages booked. Passholders can select a start date of Jan. 1, Feb. 1, March 1, or April 1, and the pass will be valid for one year. It can also be purchased using Bitcoin, which Virgin says is the first cruise product to accept a cryptocurrency payment option.
Starting with sailings in 2025, guests can choose to soak in the crystal blue waters of St. Kitts, watch the sunset in Ibiza, or stargaze alongside the Icelandic shores. The Annual Pass will allow guests to explore every Lady Ship in the fleet, including inaugural voyages on the fourth and final vessel, Brilliant Lady, debuting in September 2025.
The global vacation includes a Sea Terrace cabin with balcony views and the brand's iconic red hammock. Billed as a better value than living in most major cities, the Annual Pass features special perks like priority boarding, complimentary laundry services, dedicated concierge support, unlimited premium Wi-Fi, a $100 Bar Tab credit per voyage, and access to exclusive events and experiences onboard. 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.
Guests must book between now and March 31, 2025.
