Virgin Voyages has revised its “Pay-In-Full” discount, requiring Sailors to book and pay their full balance 365 days in advance to qualify. This is a significant increase from the previous 180-day requirement, making it crucial for those looking to save to plan even earlier.

While the cabin eligibility and indefinite availability remain the same, the new timeline emphasizes the importance of early planning for savvy sailors.

How the Pay-In-Full Discount Works

The Pay-In-Full discount offers Sailors 10% off their voyage fare when booking eligible cabins and paying the full amount upfront. Here’s a breakdown of the key details:

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the discount, bookings must:

  • Be made at least 365 days before the sail date.
  • Include payment for the entire invoice amount (voyage fare, taxes, fees, and optional voyage protection) within two hours of booking.
  • The discount is reflected in the checkout process, and Sailors must select the Pay-In-Full option during booking.

Applicable Discounts

The 10% discount applies only to the voyage fare, not to taxes, fees, or add-ons like shore excursions.

The discount can be combined with certain offers, such as:

Eligible Cabins

What’s Stayed the Same?

While the timeline has changed, some aspects of the offer remain consistent:

  • The discount is still 10% and only applies to the voyage fare.
  • Eligible cabins have not changed.
  • The offer is valid indefinitely, but Virgin Voyages retains the right to discontinue or modify it, as they have done in this instance.

Planning Ahead

With itineraries available through October 2026 and more in the coming weeks, this new 365-day requirement underscores the importance of early planning. Virgin Voyages have recently promised fairer and easier to understand pricing so those booking early can ensure they get a good deal when using this offer.

For sailors interested in this discount, ensure you check cabin eligibility and be ready to pay the full balance promptly at checkout to secure your savings. Head to the VV Insider booking portal to choose your voyage and select pay in full on checkout.

    I received a pay in full discount on a MRS cabin in 2023. Are those cabin types no longer able to receive this discount?

    1. Nope 🙁 they removed this when they reintroduced it a few months ago
