What Is Not Included

In Your Cabin

  • Ship Eats delivery fee – Although Ship Eats is included there is an additional delivery fee unless you order the minimum fee.
  • There are some merchandise items found in your cabin, if you take these with you the charge will be taken at the end of your voyage, the price is clearly marked on the tag (for example the sexton-shaped corkscrew).
  • If you damage or remove items from the cabin like towels or blankets you will be charged a replenishment fee.

Events

  • Any events in the line-up with a price attached such as Another Rose or most Food & Drink events. 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.

Gratuities

  • Gratuities are no longer bundled into the fare and appear as a separate line item. Learn more in our tipping guide.
  • Sailors with Legacy Fare bookings prior to October 7th 2025 will continue to have gratuities included.

Overview

Virgin Voyages offers the most 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.
