Planning a cruise trip doesn’t have to mean a labyrinth of web browser tabs and budgeting spreadsheets. Deciding on your perfect adventure is easier than ever, especially with our 2024 and 2025 cruises. Virgin Voyages has 27 new voyages on deck for the next two years, sailing to new destinations like Spain’s sunny coast and the Great Barrier Reef. But we’re making it easy, with some essential steps to help you plan:
Think about why you want to cruise: Ask yourself “why?” you’re traveling. Is it to celebrate a bachelorette party? An anniversary? A family reunion? Or are you just looking for a relaxing solo escape? No matter what your reason for celebrating with a cruise, we make the occasion more special, from our intimate and elevated eateries to adventurous Shore Excursions.
Decide on a travel and spending budget: Setting a budget is easy with an always-included luxury cruise. Unlike with a typical vacation, your expenses aren’t a moving target. Food at our 20+ eateries, gratuity, WiFi, group workout classes, and basic beverages are all included in your booking fare. Of course, you can always splurge on alcoholic drinks or extras, but there are no hidden costs lying in wait to break your budget.
Explore destinations: The hardest part about planning a cruise trip is choosing where to go. With more than 100 dreamy destinations around the world, there are no wrong answers. Start by asking yourself a basic question: “What do I want to do?” Zipline through a jungle? Relax at a beach club? See exotic wildlife? Browsing through our Shore Things is a wonderful way to do some destination market research.
