Are you thinking about trying the cruise line that is winning almost every award around? We’ve tried Virgin Voyages cruises ourselves and can confidently say it’s a great choice for foodies, people with a sense of play who like fun and spontaneity, and those looking for inclusive experiences. We will share more in future posts about the Virgin Voyages cruise experience, but today we want to share the many ways to save.
Although the cruise line tends to have a younger demographic, seniors have lots of fun on board. For example, when was the last time you got to play for free in a video arcade featuring 1980’s games? How about Foosball? You can try over 20 places to dine with no specialty restaurant charges.
We’re currently writing a series of posts about Virgin Voyages cruises and today we’re sharing the many ways to save. So, if you’re looking for a memorable and fun cruise experience, check out Virgin Voyages cruises!
Relax!
Big Discounts if you Book Early and Pay in Full
If you book more than 180 days before the cruise you will receive a 10% discount. If you pay in full within 2 hours of making the booking, you save another 10%. Details here.
Free $50 Bar Tab
If you buy a $300 bar tab BEFORE your cruise, Virgin will add a free extra $50. Voila! You have a $350 bar tab credit.
Check With Us First
On select cruises we can add $100 extra free Sailor Loot for you to enjoy on your Virgin Voyage. Sailor Loot is on board credit you can use on drinks, shore excursions, gift shops, pretty much anything during your cruise.
What’s a MNVV?
My Next Virgin Voyage (MNVV) takes the future cruise deposit program to the next level. It is the perfect way to get the most value out of your next cruise. This lucrative program gives you $1200 in value for just a $300 deposit.
While you need to purchase the certificate for a future cruise while on board, we’ve got you covered! Keep reading.
When you use the MNVV certificate, the $300 you paid for it is applied as your deposit on your next cruise. Then, on top of this, Virgin discounts that next cruise by another $300 and then they add $600 more in on board credit. Yes! For $300, you got an extra $900 in value.
Note that these can’t be refunded for cash but can be transferred once.
MNVV’s are also an excellent reason to book your next Virgin cruise with us. That’s because we purchased several on our last cruise so that we can offer them to our Virgin cruise clients. This means you can book a Virgin Voyage with us, pay the $300 deposit and we will apply the certificate to your cruise. Ta da!
Once your deposit is made, your cruise cabin costs $300 less and you have $600 to spend onboard toward drinks, shore excursions, gift shop purchases, and more.
