Virgin Voyage’s Fair & Flexible Fares Make Sales Smooth Sailing

One night it’s shrimp and yellow mole at Pink Agave, the next it’s oxtail agnolotti at Extra Virgin, with unlimited Diet Coke and sparkling water all day.  Take a bungee, barre, or boxing class —  or all three. With Virgin Voyages’ new Fair & Flexible Fares, there’s no extra cost, so no reason not to experience everything when Sailors don’t pay for meals, tips or wifi, and nothing for shows every night or group fitness classes each morning (or all day long). Their Fair & Flexible Fares are designed to ensure Sailors enjoy their cruise without worrying what each new experience is going to cost, while giving them more of everything — except hassle.

Sailors on Virgin Voyages’ adults-only sailings experience child-like fun, like unlimited ice cream, late-night pizza, and even an arcade that doesn’t cost extra, because the company’s pricing takes a more mature view of what “all-inclusive” means. As travelers grapple with increasingly complicated pricing, getting less for their money, and rigid policies, Virgin Voyages is sailing in the opposite direction and sticking to the company’s founding ethos: more value, more quality. And that goes for their Travel Advisors (who they call First Mates), too — Virgin Voyages has no NCFs, ever.

 Fare is Fair
The hardest choice anyone should have to make on board a Virgin Voyage is what to eat, or where. Fair & Flexible Fares include all meals in 20+ on board eateries, with menus curated by Michelin starred chefs — including experimental, multi-course cuisine in the innovative Test Kitchen. All dining, group fitness classes, unlimited basic wifi, world-class entertainment, essential drinks (all soda, water, drip coffee, tea) and even gratuities are part of their Fair & Flexible Fares. With one price that includes everything for the entire trip, Sailors can do what they came on vacation to do: relax and worry about absolutely nothing — except choosing between fried chicken at Razzle Dazzle or Filet Mignon at The Wake that night.

As Flexible as the Onboard Yogis
Life happens; plans change. People break up, make up, change their name, their partner, their mind — and none of that should mean they have to abandon their vacation or pay a fee to make it work with their evolving life. While sundeck yoga classes (included in the Fair & Flexible Fares) may get Sailors bending over backwards, you don’t need to be a contortionist to make changes to your trip. Voyage changes can be made up to 45 days before the departure date without any fees or penalty, and name changes on the reservation are free right up until 48-hours before setting sail.

Play Hard, Pay Easy
Fair & Flexible Fares fit with Virgin Voyages’ focus on creating incredible experiences, because everything really is more fun when Sailors aren’t worried about the bill that will eventually arrive.  From the aerial acrobatic version of Romeo & Juliet and immersive retellings of Persephone, to private karaoke booths and PJ parties, the space Virgin Voyages save on kiddie pools and playgrounds opens up a world of immersive entertainment that appeals to adults — all included in one price.

 From the Sponsor:
With exclusively adult, superyacht-inspired lady ships featuring signature red hammocks on every balcony (exclusive to our brand!) and a focus on offering nothing less than exceptional service, our unique vision has been defying Sailors expectations since we first hit the water. And now that we’ve become the first brand to sweep the entire large ship category for the 2023 Cruise Critic Cruisers’ Choice Awards, as well as take home Condé Nast Traveler’s Best New Cruises in the World and Travel + Leisure’s #1 Best Mega Ship. Our elevated and epic itineraries are curated with adults in mind and create a place where the only youthful energy comes from Sailor’s inner-child running free. And while a lot of travel companies like to trick you with (extra) low prices in their headlines — nickel and diming Sailors later — every voyage provides over $1,000 of value which includes access to all the premium dining at our 20+ eateries with menus curated by Michelin star chefs, group fitness classes, WiFi, gratuities, award-winning entertainment, and a soda and drinks package. First Mates enjoy our Brilliant For You benefits, including 16% commission on voyage fares, plus 10% on bookables, bar tabs, and no NCFs.
