All Aboard To Sail All Year Long With Cruising’s First Annual Pass

Pursuitist - 5-Star Luxury

From the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean, to the historic delights of Europe and dramatic landscapes of Scandinavia, there are endless places to discover by ship. Wouldn’t it be incredible if there was an endless cruise itinerary to see it all?

In a first for the cruise industry, Virgin Voyages sailors can now experience what it’s like to set sail the Virgin way all year long with the Virgin Voyages Annual Pass. Starting with 2025 sailings — on the heels of the award-winning brand’s sold-out Summer Season Pass — Virgin guests can hop onto any ship, anytime, from anywhere as early as January 1, 2025 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.

“I’ve always been a big believer in the power of travel and adventure to spark creativity and bring clarity,” says Richard Branson, Virgin Group Founder. “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 gives 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, 2025. This global vacation includes a spot in a Sea Terrace cabin, featuring balcony views and the brand’s iconic red hammock.

The annual pass includes on-board perks such as priority boarding, laundry services, concierge support, unlimited premium wifi, a $100 bar credit per voyage, and access to exclusive events and experiences on-board. Annual Pass holders can also add a plus one guest 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 in currency or — in another first — Bitcoin cryptocurrency. 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. Booking ends March 31, 2025.
