Duty Free Shopping at Booty Free

Located just off The Roundabout on Deck 6, near the other High Street shops, Booty Free is Virgin Voyages’ onboard duty free store.

The shop stocks a selection of spirits, wines, tobacco products, fragrances, and other travel retail items that can be purchased during your voyage. It is one of the few places on board where sailors can buy larger bottles of liquor and other products intended to be taken home after their trip.

When Is Booty Free Open?

Booty Free is not available on every sailing. Whether the shop can open depends on local regulations and the itinerary being sailed.

For example, some voyages operating entirely within the European Union may not be permitted to offer duty free sales. Caribbean itineraries and other international voyages are much more likely to have Booty Free open throughout the sailing.

If the shop is operating on your voyage, opening hours will be listed in the Virgin Voyages app.

What Can You Buy?

Inventory varies by ship and itinerary, but Booty Free typically carries a selection of:

• Spirits and liquor
• Wine and champagne
• Cigarettes and cigars
• Travel retail exclusives such as sweets, chips etc
• Selected merchandise

Availability can change from voyage to voyage due to local regulations, supplier availability, and regional restrictions.

How Does Collection Work?

Most alcohol purchases are held by the ship after purchase and delivered to your cabin near the end of the voyage. These items are intended to be taken ashore when you disembark and generally cannot be consumed during your sailing. Tobacco can be taken straight away in most cases.

Events at Booty Free

Keep an eye on the Virgin Voyages app for tasting events hosted by the retail team, such as Blend the Rules for whiskey. These experiences often offer some of the best value beverage events available on board.

Overview

Booty Free is worth a browse, particularly if you have unused Sailor Loot remaining towards the end of your voyage.

While some products can offer decent value, prices are not always dramatically lower than those available ashore. It’s worth checking prices before making larger purchases, especially if you’re buying bottles of liquor or premium products.

For most sailors, Booty Free is a convenient onboard option rather than a destination for major bargains. If you’re looking to use remaining onboard credit or pick up a bottle to take home, it’s well worth stopping by.
