Get a free $600 Bar Tab & 50% off with Virgin Voyages’ 2023 wave offer

Last-minute cruise deals are an excellent way to bag an affordable getaway for the coming year -and the good news is now is the best time to get your mitts on them.

The cruising industry annually unveils a smorgasbord of cruise deals (dubbed wave offers) and holidaymakers should very much pile in on the feast! Think discounted fares, cheap drinks and more.

Adults-only cruise line Virgin Voyages currently has a fabulous wave offer on the table – but no dilly-dallying, the deal is available through March 31, 2023.

Got a friend or partner you want to bring along without either of you breaking the bank? Praise be, Virgin has got your back.

For a limited time, your second “Sailor” (as Virgin dubs passengers) will get 50 percent off their holiday.

The only issue now is which loved one you’ll bring along. You’ll be fighting off the holiday companion pleas once your chums get wind of this cruise deal!

Virgin Voyages cruise deals don’t stop there – the brand is committed to making sure guests don’t go thirsty.

You can bag a $600 Bar Tab per cabin when you book a voyage of seven nights or more; just think of the inroads you can make on the cocktail menu!

Sailors still win the loot when they sail on shorter cruises too – on a voyage of six nights or fewer you’ll get a $300 Bar Tab per cabin.

Both wave offers apply to holidays taken between now and March 15, 2024, on Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady and in any destination!

So whether you want to laze in the glittering Caribbean sunshine or explore the winding streets of a historic Spanish city there’s bound to be an itinerary for you!

What’s more, this year new ship Resilient Lady is operating a series of cruises to New Zealand and Australia.

There are 12 brand-new itineraries sailing across the Tasman Sea, offering short getaways or full 14-night cruises. Talk about pushing the boat out.

Don’t panic if you miss the February deadline for the Virgin Voyages cruise deals, the brand has a wealth of other offers on the go.

There’s Virgin’s splash of romance package with which you and your partner can bag priority boarding, a specially-curated daily cold-pressed juice at the Juice Bar each morning, one complimentary Shake for Champagne, “Aphrodisiac Food Cabin Drops,” an exclusive Sailaway Hour at a designated location, and one complimentary three-hour thermal spa pass per passenger.

There’s also Well-being Season running through March which sees Virgin Voyages highlighting all the mouthwatering dishes on menus throughout the ships, Healthy Happy Hours held complete with health-conscious mocktails and innovative drinks, engaging activities, personalised treatments, rewarding wellness programs and more.

Alternatively, book your voyage ahead of time and reap the rewards. Securing your sailing 180 days before departure earns you 10 percent off the voyage fare or book between 179-121 days out for 5 percent off.

It doesn’t stop there! Purchase a $300 prepaid Bar Tab and Virgin will chuck in an extra $50 to spend at any bar on board or at The Beach Club at Bimini. Nice one.

Virgin Voyages celebrated the start of an epic year with the launch of a video inspired by a music video.

The video is musically guided by a reimagining of Culture Club’s iconic, 1983 song, “Karma Chameleon,” which was originally released by Virgin Records.

“The Voyage” was filmed on the brand’s first ship in the fleet, Scarlet Lady, and captures the essence of what it’s like to travel with Virgin Voyages taking viewers on a cinematic journey through 24 hours at sea – it even stars real passengers and crew members!

This new music video also coincided with the 2023 launch of the new brand campaign, “Now We’re Voyaging” which exemplifies the duality of excitement and relaxation holidaymakers can expect aboard Virgin Voyages’ award-winning vessels.
