As with most cruise lines, it is usually cheaper to book your next voyage while you are still on board rather than waiting until you get home. However, many Sailors are not ready to commit to a specific sailing at that moment.

Virgin Voyages offers its version of a placeholder booking called My Next Virgin Voyage, often shortened to MNVV. This allows you to secure a future offer with a deposit and receive a discount and Sailor Loot (onboard credit) when you apply it to a future sailing.

Depending on when you purchased your offer, the terms and conditions may vary and the amount of Sailor Loot can differ.

How Long Is a My Next Virgin Voyage (MNVV) Valid For?

These placeholders are valid for sailings departing within 24 months of placing your deposit. Always check the exact terms attached to your specific MNVV.

If you plan to sail with Virgin Voyages more than once, you can purchase up to four MNVVs for yourself during a single voyage.

Which Cabins Are Eligible?

To use a My Next Virgin Voyage offer, your sailing must be booked in one of the following cabin categories.

All VoyageFair Choices types are eligible to use an MNVV as long as the cabin category is one of the eligible options above.

Combine With Other Offers

One of the best parts of My Next Virgin Voyage is that it can usually be combined with most other public offers, such as percentage discounts on the second Sailor and bonus loot deals.

Name Changes and Transfers

Name changes are not permitted on MNVVs purchased on or after August 6, 2026. The placeholder must remain with the original Sailor who purchased it.

MNVVs purchased before this date may retain the previous one-time transfer option, depending on their original terms. Contact Sailor Services or your First Mate before attempting a transfer.

Changes and Cancellations

Once an MNVV is converted into a voyage, changes follow the standard policies for the selected VoyageFair Choice.

Canceling an MNVV booking will result in the loss of its promotional discount and Sailor Loot. Contact Sailor Services or your First Mate before canceling to discuss your options.

Current My Next Virgin Voyage Offer

The following benefits apply to MNVVs purchased from July 31, 2024. Purchases made before January 22, 2025 used a $300 deposit rather than the current $150 deposit. You do not need to decide your voyage length when placing the deposit. When you later select your sailing, the applicable discount and Sailor Loot will be applied based on the voyage length.

Note on Post-Voyage Offers: After disembarkation, eligible Sailors have 14 days to place a $150 deposit through a link sent by email. Unlike the onboard placeholder offer, this version does not include a voyage fare discount.

How to Use Your My Next Virgin Voyage Placeholder

Your placeholder will appear directly in your account on the Virgin Voyages website. If a First Mate is already attached to the MNVV, they will remain linked when you convert it into a confirmed voyage.

If you would like help choosing a sailing or cabin, you can add VV Insider as your First Mate before booking. This does not cost anything extra, and you still keep full control of your booking.

Request to add VV Insider to my MNVV placeholder

1. Log in to your Virgin Voyages account
2. Scroll down to your My Next Virgin Voyage placeholder
3. Select Schedule Voyage and choose the sailing you want. You may need to adjust the date filters to find it
4. Select your fare type. Choose Essential or Premium if you want more flexibility with your cabin, or choose Base fare if you are happy for Virgin Voyages to select the cabin
5. Apply the Pay in Full discount if applicable to receive 10% off
6. Complete checkout to secure your voyage
7. If your cabin shows as to be confirmed, a First Mate such as VV Insider or Sailor Services can update it afterward

Previous Offer

This version of the My Next Virgin Voyage offer applied to MNVVs purchased before July 30, 2024. As MNVVs have a two-year expiration window, most of these enhanced benefits are now expiring or have already expired.

Up to July 30, 2024

My Next Virgin Voyage previously included the following benefits with a $300 deposit:

• $300 deposit applied toward your next sailing
• $300 off the voyage fare
• $300 in onboard Sailor Loot

However, the Sailor Loot amount depended on when the placeholder was purchased and when it was used:

• MNVVs purchased before February 1, 2024 included $600 Sailor Loot with no 60-day booking restriction
• MNVVs purchased between February 1, 2024 and July 30, 2024 included $600 Sailor Loot only if booked within 60 days of purchase
• If booked more than 60 days after purchase during that period, Sailor Loot was reduced to $300
• Sailor Loot was also reduced to $300 if combined with The Lasting Glow offer

All MNVVs retain the terms and conditions that were in place at the time of purchase.
