Virgin Voyages is bringing back free drinks with a limited time offer | News

Virgin Voyages has launched a limited-time offer where Sailors (guests) will receive up to $500 Bar Tab on all voyages.

The promotion runs from July 1 to 6, 2026. First Mates (agents) can combine this with the brand’s current free balcony upgrade campaign, which is available for new bookings made until July 31, 2026.

The combinable offer is available for sailings on Scarlet Lady, Resilient Lady, Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady, including voyages to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the US West Coast and Alaska. Sailors can benefit from:

Up to $500 Bar Tab to spend onboard on cocktails, wine pairings, specialty coffees and Shake for Champagne
70% discount on the second Sailor
A free upgrade to the balcony, allowing sailors to book a sea terrace cabin for the same price as a sea view cabin

SJ Walker, UK Director of Sales at Virgin Voyages, said: “We know our First Mates love it when we bring back our free drinks offer, and now that the Bar Tab up to $500 can be combined with 70% off the second Sailor and a free balcony upgrade, this is a really attractive booking window.

“It adds another layer of value to our adult experience, giving First Mates a strong, time-sensitive reason to reach out to customers and get those summer bookings across the line.”
