Virgin Voyages is introducing its “Wave 2025” promotion, offering sailors significant discounts, the return of free Bar Tab‘s, and improved pay in full offers. Beginning November 13, 2024, through January 30, 2025.

Here’s a closer look at what’s included in this latest offer:

80% Off for a Second Sailor

For all eligible bookings made during the offer period, Virgin Voyages is extending an 80% discount on the fare of a second Sailor when traveling together in the same cabin. Whether you’re sailing the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or other destinations, this offer is available across most 2025 and 2026 itineraries. The previous offer was 70% off, with free balcony upgrades.

The “Wave 2025” 80% off promotion applies only to select cabins, with certain restrictions and exclusions. Eligible bookings include Sea Terrace cabins, The Sea View, and Insider cabins. Rockstar and Mega Rockstar quarters and select other solo cabins are excluded.

Free Bar Tab – Up to $300 in Free Drinks

Virgin Voyages is bringing back its popular free Bar Tab credit, available for qualifying bookings based on voyage length. Sailors can use this credit to enjoy premium cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, and more:

  • $100 Bar Tab for voyages lasting 4-5 nights
  • $200 Bar Tab for voyages lasting 6-8 nights
  • $300 Bar Tab for voyages of 9 or more nights

This offer is available for select Sea Terrace cabins and Rockstar Quarters only, allowing Sailors to savor their favorite drinks without extra costs. The Bar Tab offer does not apply to all Lock It In Rate cabins, Mega Rockstar, Sea View and Insider Cabin Categories.

Up to 10% Savings with Pay-in-Full

For added savings, Virgin Voyages is offering an instant discount of up to 10% when Sailors choose to pay their full balance at the time of booking. This option can be combined with the Wave 2025 offer for those looking to maximize value but is only available on select cabin types.

To qualify for the Pay in Full Discount, a booking must meet these requirements:

  • Be made at least 180 days before the sail date.
  • Eligible voyages are sailings departing on all ships
  • Be fully paid, covering the complete invoice amount (including voyage fare, taxes, and fees), within two hours of initiating the reservation.
  • Eligible Cabins for the “Paid In Full Discount” Offer are as follows: XL Sea Terrace, Central Sea Terrace, The Sea Terrace, Limited View Sea Terrace, The Sea View, and The Insider. Lock-it-in cabins are excluded.

The new Pay in Full offer will remain effective indefinitely, meaning it could be discontinued at any time but will not expire with the current Wave 2025 offer.

Destinations and Ships Included in the Offer

For the first time in a while the vast majority of sailings in 2025 and 2026 will be on offer. With over 150 destinations, including stops across the Caribbean, North America, Mediterranean, and transatlantic journeys, Sailors can select from Virgin Voyages’ diverse offerings aboard their unique fleet:

  • Ships: Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady, and the newest addition, Brilliant Lady
  • Regions: Caribbean, North America, Mediterranean, Transatlantic, and Repositioning itineraries

Additional Offer Details and Eligibility

The “Wave 2025” offer can be combined with certain promotions, including the My Next Virgin Voyage Offer, FL Resident Rate, Pay in Full Offer, Incentive and Contracted Circle Programs, Loyalty Offers (for earning and redeeming), and Tour Operator rates.

However, it cannot be combined with several other discounts, including the Summer Season Pass, Casino Rates, Interline Rates, Brilliant 4 U Pass, Sail & Save Offers, reduced rate programs, and any other tactical offers.

Overview

The “Wave 2025” offer reintroduces several popular past promotions, including free drinks and instant savings for paying in full. Sailors are encouraged to book early due to dynamic pricing, but with the offer available until the end of January, there’s flexibility to plan for the months ahead. Additional Black Friday offers may also be on the way, similar to last year’s deals.
