Virgin Voyages Drinks Packages and Bar Tab
Virgin Voyages takes a refreshingly different approach to life at sea, and that extends to how drinks work on board. Rather than offering traditional cruise drinks packages, Virgin keeps things simple. Many beverages are already included in your fare, while cocktails, wine and speciality coffees can be purchased individually or covered with a flexible Bar Tab. It is modern, easy and designed to give you complete freedom over how you enjoy your drinks.
What Drinks Are Included
Your Virgin Voyages cruise holiday already includes a generous range of drinks, so you can stay refreshed from morning to night. Enjoy still and sparkling water, soft drinks, sodas, drip coffee from The Galley, non-pressed juices and a selection of teas at no extra cost. These essentials are available in all bars and restaurants onboard, ensuring a favourite drink is always close at hand.
From a cold juice at breakfast to an iced tea by the pool, Virgin makes sure the simple pleasures are always part of your holiday.
The Bar Tab – Virgin’s Take on Drinks Packages
Virgin Voyages replaces fixed drinks packages with something far more flexible: the Bar Tab. It is a prepaid drinks credit that covers almost any beverage on board, including handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, mocktails, smoothies, fresh juices and speciality coffees.
When you pre-purchase a Bar Tab before your sailing, Virgin Voyages adds bonus credit to boost your value:
Spend $200 and receive $25 extra - Total Bar Tab $225
Spend $300 and receive $50 extra - Total Bar Tab $350
Spend $500 and receive $100 extra - Total Bar Tab $600
Spend $750 and receive $175 extra - Total Bar Tab $925
Spend $1,000 and receive $250 extra - Total Bar Tab $1250
Why the Bar Tab Works So Well
The Bar Tab offers the flexibility that other cruise drinks packages do not. You spend only what you choose, without the commitment of a daily charge. It is ideal for guests who like to enjoy a few drinks at their own pace and a smart way to budget ahead of time. By buying early, you receive bonus credit that adds even more value to your voyage.
A Bar Tab can be purchased for one person or shared across a cabin, depending on how you prefer to manage onboard spending. It is valid throughout the ship and at The Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin’s exclusive private island retreat.
Bar Tabs must be purchased before you sail, up to three days before departure, and cannot be added once you are on board. If you prefer not to pre-purchase, you can simply order drinks as you go and settle your account at the end of the cruise. Any unused Bar Tab credit expires at the end of your voyage and cannot be refunded.
RockStar and Mega RockStar Quarters
If you are seeking something extraordinary, Virgin’s RockStar and Mega RockStar Quarters take luxury to new heights. RockStar guests enjoy a stocked in-suite bar with the first round on the house, plus exclusive access to Richard’s Rooftop and other private venues.
Mega RockStar Quarters go even further, with all bar drinks included throughout the ship, daily bottles in the suite and a fully stocked personalised bar setup. It is the ultimate way to experience Virgin Voyages in true VIP style.
Bars and Lounges on Virgin Voyages
Whether you're sailing on the OG, Scarlet Lady, or the brand-new Brilliant Lady, every bar and lounge on a Virgin Voyages ship has its own story. Sip Champagne in the elegant Sip Lounge, enjoy live music at On the Rocks, or unwind with ocean views at The Dock House. Visit The Loose Cannon for a relaxed pub feel, stop by The Draught Haus for craft beers, or enjoy a signature cocktail at The Manor before catching a show.
Each venue has its own atmosphere, from beach-club cool to late-night glamour, with imaginative drinks and attentive service that make every evening unforgettable.
Add a Splash of Romance
For couples looking to make their sailing extra special, Virgin Voyages offers the Splash of Romance package. This limited add-on includes priority boarding, a curated cocktail party, daily cold-pressed juices, one-day spa access, reserved seating for select shows and other thoughtful extras. Available for around $250 per cabin, it adds a touch of indulgence to your time at sea. If you'd like to add this package to your booking, speak to us as soon as possible, as they are limited.
Premium Fare Code
On select Virgin Voyages sailings, the Premium Fare Code includes a daily Bar Tab credit of $15 per person as part of your cruise fare. It’s a thoughtful little extra designed to cover a couple of drinks each day, whether that’s a morning smoothie or an evening cocktail.
While it’s not a replacement for a drinks package or pre-purchased Bar Tab, it adds an extra touch of flexibility and value, letting you enjoy a few refreshments on the house throughout your voyage.
