Beyond the Drinks: Included Perks on Virgin Voyages
The complimentary drinks are just the beginning of what Virgin Voyages includes in its fare. Details can vary by fare and sailing, so check your booking.
| Included perk | What to know |
|---|---|
| Specialty dining | Virgin Voyages’ specialty restaurants are included, with reservations and specific items handled under each restaurant’s terms. |
| Wi-Fi | Included but tier-based: Basic, Classic, or Premium access depends on the fare. It is not one flat free Basic Wi-Fi benefit for every sailor regardless of fare. |
| Entertainment | Shows, live music, DJ sets, and immersive entertainment are included in the cruise fare. |
| Fitness classes | Yoga, Pilates, and high-intensity training options are available; schedules can vary. |
| Gratuities | Separate from the included fare: crew gratuities are typically about $20 per sailor per night when prepaid, or about $22 per sailor per night when added onboard. Confirm the current amount for your sailing. |
| Adult-only experience | Virgin Voyages is for sailors 18 and older. |
Why These Inclusions Matter
Virgin Voyages’ inclusions make a sailing feel straightforward, but “included” does not mean every item is unlimited or identical across fares. Compare the Wi-Fi tier and gratuity treatment alongside dining, entertainment, and beverage plans so your budget reflects the voyage you actually book.
Conclusion
Virgin Voyages’ included drinks cover the basics—water, soda, tea, and drip coffee—while specialty dining, entertainment, and other perks add value. Wi-Fi is included on a tier-based basis, and gratuities are a separate charge, so avoid treating either as a blanket free benefit. If you’re ready for a stylish, adults-only cruise, CamJon Travel can help.
