If you thought that the value of a year Virgin Voyages unlimited cruises in 2025 was epic, wait until you hear what the cruise line has in store for next year.
virgin trips has expanded its Annual Pass, allowing travelers to hop on and off an unlimited number of rides over a 12-month period. By 2026, the line will offer a weeklong stay on Necker Island, Richard Branson’s 74-acre private retreat in the British Virgin Islands, with complimentary round-trip airfare and ferry transfers.
For reference, a week-long Necker Island vacation for two people typically starts at $43,610 ($6,230 per night for a Guest House room), and that’s before taking into account airfare and transportation to the island.
However, that Annual Pass won’t be cheap. Cruisers (or sailors, as the line calls them) will pay $199,000 per cabin for the unlimited cruise pass. (The cost of the 2025 pass was $120,000 per cabin).
While $199,000 is a hefty sum, it comes with a host of impressive perks, including a $10,000 onboard shopping spree and a private excursion every quarter (four per year), plus a stay on Necker Island.
The cost of the 2026 Annual Pass includes stays in Sea Terrace Balcony Cabins, which are a step up from the interior and Ocean View Cabins. The pass also includes a birthday upgrade to a RockStar Quarters suite (the line’s most elegant accommodation), custom RockStar robes, and a beach, poolside, or forest cabana at the line’s private beach club in Bimini (limited to 10 per year).
