- If you damage or remove items from the cabin like towels or blankets you will be charged a replenishment fee
Food and Beverages
- Alcohol and premium soft drinks (smoothies, mocktails, juices, etc)
- Any ‘treat yourself’ menu items – these include premium seafood and tomahawk steaks for example
Events
- Any events in the line-up with a price attached. We have found that these events offer great value for money in general. Often these premium events will include a generous amount of premium alcoholic beverages and are a lot of fun.
Other
- Premium Wi-Fi – For streaming purposes this option is not included
- Virgin Voyages do not offer any inclusive shore excursions (Virgin Voyages call these ‘Shore Things’) so these will all carry a cost, you are of course welcome to organize your own port excursions with companies on land.
- There is a fee to use Redemption Spa, daily and weekly passes are available starting at $49.
- Spa treatments are charged per treatment and are more expensive compared even to other cruise lines.
Conclusion
Virgin Voyages offers fantastic all inclusive value for money when compared with most other cruise lines.
Some of the premium options are offered at a fee but we think these mostly offer very fair value and are a good way to enhance your voyage, especially if you have an on board credit offer.
