Virgin Voyages has introduced new bonuses starting tomorrow July 17th for its pre-paid Bar Tab offers, making it easier and more affordable for Sailors to enjoy their favorite drinks on board. Whether you’re planning on drinking craft cocktails, fine wines, or refreshing non-alcoholic beverages, the updated Bar Tab options provide added value for every dollar spent.

New Bar Tab Options and Bonuses

Sailors can now pre-pay their Bar Tabs in increments of $200, $300, $500, $750, or $1000. Each increment comes with a bonus added by Virgin Voyages:

  • $200 Bar Tab: Bonus $25 (12.5% extra)
  • $300 Bar Tab: Bonus $50 (16.7% extra)
  • $500 Bar Tab: Bonus $100 (20% extra) – NEW
  • $750 Bar Tab: Bonus $175 (23.3% extra) – NEW
  • $1000 Bar Tab: Bonus $250 (25% extra) – NEW

These new higher bonuses add significant value, allowing Sailors to enjoy more of their favorite drinks with additional bonuses, particularly handy for longer sailings. Of note the $100 Bar Tab with $10 Bonus appears to be no longer available as of July 17th.

    Can I bought a bar tab before the new tiers came out. Can a refund the one purchased?

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hi Mike, yes you can refund them I think you have to call Virgin Voyages up but you can do that up to 48 hours before sail and change to a new Bar Tab bonus.

    My cruise is 5/18/2025 through 5/29/2025 and 5/29/2025 through 6/8/2025, an 11 and 10 day cruise. Can I buy my bar tab in 2024 for both cruises?
