What does a Virgin Voyages cruise actually cost?
Updated 2026-07 · 5 min read
Virgin Voyages is adults-only (18+), with gratuities and Wi-Fi bundled into every fare rather than sold separately. Boutique and design-heavy, positioned against premium lines but priced to compete with mainstream once bundled inclusions are counted. Like every premium-tier line, the advertised fare is only the starting point — here's what the rest of the trip typically adds.
What's included vs. what's extra
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Gratuities | $19 / person / day |
| Drink package | $105 / adult / day |
| Wi-Fi | $20 / day |
| Specialty dining | $60 / adult / night (typically 2 nights) |
| Shore excursions | ~$110 / adult / port |
A worked example
Two adults, balcony cabin, 7 nights, 3 ports, with the drink package, Wi-Fi, and shore excursions turned on:
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Cruise fare (sticker price) | $3,885 |
| Taxes & port fees | $336 |
| Gratuities | $259 |
| Drink package | $1,470 |
| Wi-Fi | $140 |
| Specialty dining | — |
| Shore excursions | $660 |
| Travel insurance | — |
Sticker price: $3,885. Real total: $6,750 (roughly $6,075–$7,425), or about $482 per person, per night, all-in.
For a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) on the same itinerary, the real total comes to roughly $10,066 ($9,059–$11,073).

Common homeports include Miami, Portsmouth (UK). Positioning cruises and repositioning sailings (moving a ship between seasonal regions) can carry lower fares than round-trip itineraries from the same port — worth checking if your dates are flexible.
Our take
Because gratuities and Wi-Fi are already in Virgin's fare, this calculator's default premium-tier assumptions overstate Virgin's real add-on gap — treat the gratuity and Wi-Fi lines below as already paid for, not additional.
