Virgin Voyages is launching a new annual pass that will allow travelers to hop on and off any of its ships for an entire year.
Inspired by the success of the summer season pass it launched earlier this year, Virgin Voyages is inviting travelers to spend 2025 living and working at sea. Travelers also have the option to purchase the annual pass using Bitcoin.
“I’ve always been a big believer in the power of travel and adventure to spark creativity and bring clarity,” says Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group. “What started as a sought after ‘work from sea’ concept with our Season Pass has evolved into something even more special. Now, Sailors can jump aboard any of our ships, across an endless variety of exciting destinations for an entire year. We’re offering unlimited opportunities for adventure in a way that has never been done in cruising before.”
Travelers who buy an annual pass can sail from anywhere, anytime, on all of the ships in the Virgin Voyages fleet—including the forthcoming Brilliant Lady, slated to debut in September.
Brilliant Lady will make her maiden voyage in September, departing from the Big Apple and heading to Bermuda, Quebec City, Charleston, Boston, Halifax and New Brunswick.
From October 2025 to April 2026, the ship will offer extended Caribbean cruises to Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and Cartagena, as well as Turks & Caicos, Antigua, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios.
In March 2026, the ship will depart from Miami, transit the Panama Canal and end up in Los Angeles after a 16-night voyage.
From April to May 2026, the ship will homeport in Los Angeles and offer cruises up and down the West Coast, with stops at destinations like Puerto Vallarta, Santa Barbara, Catalina Island and San Diego.
Finally, from May through September 2026, the ship will depart from Seattle and take travelers to Alaska.
With regard to the annual pass, onboard perks include priority boarding, free laundry services, dedicated concierge support, unlimited premium Wi-Fi, a $100 beverage credit per voyage and exclusive events and experiences. Travelers have the option to add a plus-one to their cabin.
The pass is valid for one year from the start date, which can be either January 1, February 1, March 1 or April 1. Travelers must book by March 31, 2025.
Annual passes start at $120,000, plus taxes and fees for booked voyages. They will be available on a first come, first served basis.
