Virgin Voyages, the premium, lifestyle, adults-only cruise line within the Virgin Group, does cruising differently. You won\u2019t find kids, buffets, or traditional entertainment like you would on other cruise lines.<\/p>\n

With just four ships in its fleet, the company still offers a wide range of sailings across Europe, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, plus transatlantic and Panama Canal crossings. As of 2026, Virgin Voyages has also expanded to the U.S. West Coast, including Alaska sailings aboard its newest ship, Brilliant Lady<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But one of the best things about Virgin Voyages is that it plays within the larger Virgin sandbox, alongside brands like Virgin Hotels and Virgin Atlantic. And that\u2019s a big deal. If you\u2019ve got points sitting in Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, you can use them to book a sailing.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to book a Virgin Voyages cruise with points, plus how to earn the points you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

How to Book a Virgin Voyage Using Points<\/span><\/h2>\n

Virgin Voyages currently offers dozens of sailings bookable with Virgin points<\/a>. Prices range from just 215,000 points to as much as 1.225 million points per cabin. Departures run through May 2028, though availability is limited since many sailings sell out early.<\/p>\n

Pricing is per cabin and covers up to two guests in a Central Sea Terrace cabin. Unlike some cruise lines, solo sailors generally won\u2019t see a discounted rate outside of occasional promotions. Every Virgin Voyages sailing is adults-only and all-inclusive, meaning your booking covers food (at specialty restaurants), soft drinks, group fitness classes, entertainment, Wi-Fi, and more. Even the roughly $150 to $200 in port taxes and fees are already baked into the price.<\/p>\n

The only extras you might want to budget for are things like alcoholic drinks, specialty coffee, upgraded Wi-Fi for video calls, Shore Things (excursions), spa treatments, and similar add-ons. Points bookings fall under the Essential Voyage Fare, which offers a bit of flexibility.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no set booking deadline, but availability is first-come, first-served.<\/p>\n
