  • Virgin Voyages is launching a yearlong, all-you-can-sail pass in 2025 for $120,000.
  • The pass covers two guests, laundry, premium WiFi, and a balcony cabin.
  • Passholders could spend the year on the same vessel, turning it into a residential cruise ship.

Have you ever been on a Virgin Voyages cruise and thought, "I never want to leave this ship."?

Well, now you won't have to — so long as you pay $120,000 for the year.

Richard Branson's premium child-free cruise line on Tuesday announced its first Annual Pass. As the name suggests, pass holders and their plus-ones would have 12 months to sail on any Virgin ship from any port whenever they please, starting in the first four months of 2025.

Spend your year cruising around the Mediterranean and Caribbean — from Croatia to the Bahamas — all in the comfort of a balcony-replete Sea Terrace cabin.

No need to worry about spotty internet or running out of clean clothes. The pass also includes perks like a wash-and-fold laundry service, premium WiFi, priority boarding, and $100 in bar credit per sailing.

If you've ever dreamt of life at sea, you could spend 12 months on the same vessel, turning one of Virgin's four ships — five come September 2025 — into a residential cruise akin to The World or Villa Vie Odyssey.

Margaritaville at Sea launched a similar eight-month all-you-can-sail pass for $900 in 2023, although it didn't apply to consecutive voyages.

In the summer of 2024, Virgin trialed the concept with a monthlong remote work-friendly "Scarlet Summer Season Pass." A spokesperson for the cruise line told BI that it sold 143 of these passes, which cost about $10,00 for a dual occupancy cabin aboard the three-year-old Scarlet Lady.

If the summer program's four-week timeline wasn't long enough for you, maybe this new 52-week pass will fit your needs.
