Virgin Voyages introduced an annual pass for its ships in 2025, which entitled the passholder and a guest to sail on any of the cruise line’s sailings for a 12-month period. And the pass was so well-received that Virgin has decided to pre-announce the 2026 version of its annual pass.
The 2026 annual pass costs $199,999, and the one-year period can start in any month from January through April 2026.

The 2026 pass is much more expensive than this year’s
To be fair, the $199,999 price tag for the 2026 annual pass is a significant increase from the $120,000 cost of the 2025 version. The 2025 pass included a sea terrace (balcony) room for two people, premium Wi-Fi, laundry service, priority boarding, a $100 bar tab for each sailing, and exclusive cocktail event for annual pass holders.
