Thinking about booking your first cruise with Virgin Voyages? With their all-new Voyage Fair Choices fare system, understanding your options has never been more important—or more empowering. Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or a first-time Sailor curious about Virgin Voyages’ unique adult-only experience, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about their updated pricing structure.


Let’s dive into the new four-tier fare options for Sea Terrace and below cabins and find out which one is best for your next cruise adventure.

What is Virgin Voyages’ Voyage Fair Choices Program?

Launched to offer more flexibility and customization, Virgin Voyages' Voyage Fair Choices introduces four distinct cabin fare tiers:

  • Lock It In Rate Best for Budget-Conscious Cruisers Want the lowest cruise fare? This option gives you a guaranteed rate—but Virgin assigns your cabin within the category you choose. It’s non-refundable and unchangeable, but perfect if you're flexible and focused on value.
    • Best for: Budget travelers, spontaneous cruisers, and anyone who just wants to get onboard without overthinking it.
  • Base Fare – Cruise Essentials at the Lowest Price This entry-level fare includes all the Virgin Voyages perks you’ve heard about (hello, over 20+ eateries and zero kids onboard), but offers no changes or cancellations. Still a solid choice if you’re looking for the best deal with just the basics
    • Best for: First-time cruisers testing the waters with Virgin Voyages.
  • Essential Fare – The Classic Virgin Experience This is what returning Sailors know and love. It includes flexible booking options, standard Wi-Fi, and early dining reservations (up to 45 days out). Consider this the "traditional" Virgin Voyages experience.
    • Best for: Loyal Virgin Voyages fans or those looking for the full experience without the premium price.
  • Premium Fare – All the Perks You Crave Premium gets you faster Wi-Fi (great for streaming or remote work), 60-day advanced dining reservations, and more flexibility with changes. If you want added convenience and early access, this one’s for you.
    • Best for: Digital nomads, luxury lovers, and cruisers who want priority everything.
What’s Always Included—No Matter the Fare Regardless of the fare you book, you’ll still enjoy all the amazing Virgin Voyages inclusions:

  • All food at 20+ dining venues
  • Essential drinks like soda, still and sparkling water
  • Wi-Fi
  • Unlimited group fitness classes
  • World-class entertainment
  • Gratuities (yes, still included—just itemized on your invoice)
That means no surprise charges and no nickel-and-diming. Just smooth sailing.
