‘My Next Virgin Voyage’ Placeholder Offer Reductions Revealed
Virgin Voyages significantly reduces “My Next Virgin Voyage” benefits, now offering up to $250 off the Voyage Fare and $250 Sailor Loot credit, effective July 31, 2024.
Following a reveal from the onboard sales team; Virgin Voyages will make significant changes to its popular “My Next Virgin Voyage” program, reducing the value from the previous offer. The new benefits are now based on the length of your voyage, providing up to $250 off the Voyage Fare and up to $250 in Sailor Loot (onboard spend) credit.
For some voyage lengths this is a reduction of $150 in Voyage Fare and $450 in Sailor Loot. This change is in affect from July 31st, 2024.

The least value is on those sailing from Miami for shorter weekend or weekday sailings.

Other Changes
The new structure marks another perk removal from Virgin Voyages after many changes over the past several months. This change is a big blow to those sailing out of Miami on the shorter 4-5 night sailings.
What’s Different?
- The reduction in the voyage fare discount and onboard Sailor Loot credit.
- 3 Night Sailings such as shorter sailings from Portsmouth can no longer use an MNVV.
- The 60-day limit on getting the maximum Sailor Loot has been removed, providing sailors with the full 24 months to take advantage of the offer.
- The “Lasting Glow” offer, which allowed sailors to purchase placeholders after their voyage, has been discontinued.
Existing Placeholders
Sailors who have older “My Next Virgin Voyage” placeholders can continue to benefit from the existing terms attached to their offer. The older offer provided significantly more savings:
- $300 deposit removed from your next sailing
- $300 off the voyage fare
- $600 onboard Sailor Loot credit (reduced to $300 if not booked within 60 days)
Conclusion
The new “My Next Virgin Voyage” benefits package introduces both reductions but returns flexibility. While the immediate perks have lessened, the removal of the 60-day Sailor Loot limit put in place on February 1st, 2024 allows sailors more time to plan their next voyage.
