For cruising enthusiasts, a groundbreaking opportunity has arrived: Virgin Voyages is introducing the world’s first year-round cruise pass. This unique offering enables travelers to cruise at their leisure, hopping on and off the ships much like a city tour bus.
Details of the Year-Round Cruise Pass
Virgin Voyages is extending its innovative Season Pass program with a remarkable new option. For just USD $120,000 (approximately CAD $169,000), you and a guest can trade traditional living expenses for unparalleled access to a year of sailing on a variety of epic itineraries across the globe, including the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and more.
When Can You Start Cruising?
The year-long adventure will commence in January through April 2025, allowing participants to explore various itineraries. You could bask in the Caribbean sun during spring, enjoy summer in the Mediterranean, and embark on a transatlantic voyage come fall.
Richard Branson’s Vision
Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, emphasized the transformative power of travel in a statement: “What started as a sought-after ‘work from sea’ concept has evolved into something even more special.” This reflects Virgin Voyages’ commitment to enhancing the cruising experience for adventurers.
