Virgin Voyages Trials Print-at-Home Luggage Tags
Virgin Voyages is trialling print-at-home luggage tags from April for select voyages departing Miami, Barcelona, and Athens to streamline embarkation and reduce wait times.
Virgin Voyages is introducing a new feature designed to make embarkation day even smoother. Starting in late April, a trial of Print-at-Home Luggage Tags will begin for voyages departing from Miami, Barcelona, and Athens.
This optional process allows sailors to download and print their luggage tags before arriving at the terminal, helping reduce wait times and improve the overall embarkation experience.
How Does it Work?
Sailors will receive an email 72 hours before their voyage. This email includes a PDF with their personalized luggage tags—ready to be downloaded and printed. The message is automatically sent once all Ready to Sail steps are completed in the Virgin Voyages app.
Sailors who’ve printed and attached their luggage tags should look for the “Pre-Tagged Luggage” sign upon arrival to drop off their bags.
What if I Forget to Print my Tags?
No problem. Luggage tags will still be available at the terminal. But printing them at home means one less stop on the way to boarding—and it may speed things up once you arrive.
Why is Virgin Voyages Making This Change?
The aim is to streamline embarkation and improve the efficiency of bag delivery. By having tags already attached, sailors can check in faster and avoid delays caused by manual tag writing at the terminal.
What if I Don’t Get The Email?
If you haven’t received your tags 72 hours before embarkation, be sure to check your spam or junk folder. If it’s still not there, there’s no need to worry—tags will be available at the terminal when you arrive. There’s no need to turn up early, just arrive at your selected time.

Arrival Time Reminders
Virgin Voyages also recently updated its embarkation policies to improve flow at the terminal. In Miami the final embarkation time will be 5pm instead of 6pm. Sailors are encouraged to select their preferred Arrival Time within the app as part of the Ready to Sail steps unless you are a priority sailor.
