First-timer guide
Cabins
Options range from interior cabins to Sea Terrace cabins with a balcony and larger suites. Solo cabin options are available for one traveler. Compare cabin type, view and location, not just price.
Dining
You can try different restaurants through the trip. You reserve restaurants through the Virgin app, My Account or First Mate. When reservations open depends on your fare.
Costs beyond the base fare
Add up taxes, fees, gratuities, drinks, shore excursions and any Wi-Fi upgrade. That total is what to compare against other cruise lines.
Itineraries
Sailings vary by ship and season. Check the ports, trip length and departure city that work for you.
Booking tips
Read the payment, cancellation and promotion terms. Offers have their own rules and deadlines, so don't assume a price will last.
