What's Included on a Cruise?
Introducing Fair & Flexible Fares
Fair, in that we give you much more for your voyage fare, and flexible, in that you can make changes anytime you want, without a penalty.
A lot of travel companies like to trick you with (extra) low prices in their headlines — nickel and diming you later. On every voyage here, you get over $1,000 of value which includes access to all the premium dining at our 20+ eateries with menus curated by Michelin star chefs, group fitness classes, WiFi, gratuities, award-winning entertainment, and a soda and drinks package. And if you need to change your sail dates or the name(s) on your booked voyage, we let you do that, too.
Incredible value. True transparency.
You should know what you’re spending at the end of the vacation… well, before it’s the actual end. And we love a chart, so we created one to break down exactly what we mean….

Best cruise and ship ever!
"Everyone, everything was on point. No buffet is served on this cruise. The staff is friendly and professional. Nothing is too small or large for them to deliver. There's no other ship like virgin voyages. The food…".
Excellent cruise line
"From the adult-only option all the way to food and entertainment. They did an awesome job. There was so much to do on the ship we needed more time. Will definitely be back to Virgin for our next cruise and many many more".

ALWAYS INCLUDED
Food to elevate your mood
When we say “included,” we mean it. From comfort go-to’s to experimental cuisine, elaborate brunches to Korean BBQ, all our specialty eateries are on us — no hidden tax, no pesky disclaimer, no crowded buffets or designated dining times. Plus, all our food is sustainably sourced, made fresh-to-order, and always tasty. Go ahead, snap that pic (you know you want to) — because we’re picking up the bill.
ALSO INCLUDED
We’ve taken care of tipping
We’ve reimagined the way people holiday at sea from the hull up — so that epic service becomes the norm. Our Crew is knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly stylish — but mainly, our Crew is genuinely happy to help you make your vacation one of a kind. So get pampered, taste everything, and enjoy a drink (or two) knowing that all tips are covered. Cheers to that.
YEP INCLUDED, TOO
Free Wi-Fi for all
Check in with your loved ones. Make new connections aboard. Or post that ice cream selfie before it melts. With Wi-Fi included on every sailing, you can show off share the view with your home crew, find your newest best friends online, or check in on your email (look, we get it, sometimes it’s hard to *fully* let go) — because, let’s be honest, in this day and age, Wi-Fi should be considered as essential as water.
INCLUDED? THIS, TOO
Unlimited group workouts
For the 'do-nothings,' the 'do-somethings' and the 'do-literally-everythings' (you know who you are), we have tons of group fitness classes on board so that you can sea the world and keep your #FitnessGoals going. From sunrise yoga and outdoor boxing to a cycling studio and bungee workouts — you’ll have full access to classes and state-of-the-art gym equipment for unlimited opportunities to break a sweat. And if you’re not the working out kind, well, the views are nice from the gym?
STILL INCLUDED
All essential drinks. Always on us.
Hydration is key — especially in a sun-soaked, adventure-filled, energy-buzzing holiday at sea. Start your day with a drip-coffee, quench your post-workout thirst with still and sparkling water, get a non-pressed juice by the pool, or find the perfect soda and end your day in paradise with your favorite bedtime tea. With all essential drinks already covered, you can recharge, free of charge.
LIGHTS. CAM. ON US.
Late nights and neon lights
With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment you’ll experience on board is something you’ve never seen before. It’s wild. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a full-on extravaganza. And it couldn’t be anything else. Digging deep into our musical roots, we’ve collaborated with the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists to create the live entertainment only a Virgin brand could.
