Virgin Voyages FAQ

Absolutely not. Our services are completely free to you. We are paid a commission directly by the cruise lines when you book — so you get expert, personalized planning at zero extra cost. In fact, booking through us often saves you money thanks to exclusive perks and group rates we can access.

You pay the exact same price whether you book with us or directly with Virgin Voyages — but when you book with us you get personalized guidance from Gold Tier certified specialists who have sailed every ship in the fleet. We help you choose the right cabin, itinerary, shore excursions, and dining strategy. We also serve as your advocate if anything goes wrong before or during your trip.

Gold Tier is the highest certification level awarded by Virgin Voyages to travel advisors. It recognizes agents who have completed extensive training, passed rigorous testing, and demonstrated deep expertise with the Virgin Voyages product. Dan and Shawna are two of a small group of agents to hold this distinction — meaning you’re working with the most qualified Virgin Voyages specialists available.

Yes! While Virgin Voyages is our specialty and personal favorite, we are fully licensed to book any major cruise line including Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, MSC, and more. If Virgin Voyages isn’t the right fit for your travel goals, we’ll help you find the cruise line that is.

For the best cabin selection and lowest prices, we recommend booking 6–12 months in advance. However, Virgin Voyages does release last-minute deals — sometimes with significant savings. If you have flexible dates, we can monitor deals for you. Contact us and we’ll advise based on your specific itinerary and travel window.

Yes — all Virgin Voyages ships are strictly 18+ only. No exceptions. Every single sailor must be 18 years of age or older. This is enforced at embarkation. It’s one of the things that makes the experience so uniquely relaxed and sophisticated — the entire ship is designed with adults in mind.

Your fare covers all dining at 20+ restaurants (no specialty dining fees), all group fitness classes, WiFi, and all gratuities. Alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, and shore excursions are extra — but the base fare is genuinely inclusive compared to mainstream lines.

Simply fill out our free quote request form or send us a message. We’ll follow up to learn about your travel goals, budget, preferred dates, and travel style. From there we’ll present you with tailored options, walk you through the booking process, and stay by your side from deposit to disembarkation.
