The new offering builds on previous seasonal passes offering a full year’s worth of voyages for a single fee.
Virgin Voyages announced the launch of its new “Annual Pass” program starting in 2025, alongside news that it would become the “first cruise product to accept cryptocurrency.”
According to a recent blog post, the company will accept Bitcoin (BTC) as payment for the new service with a standard upfront fee of $120,000 plus taxes applied per individual cruise. There’s no indication as to when or if Virgin Voyages will consider expanding its cryptocurrency options to include stablecoins or Bitcoin competitors.
Annual Pass offers unlimited cruises over the course of a year on a limited, first-come-first-served basis. The company said the offering was conceived after the success of its “Season Pass” program, which was aimed primarily at remote workers.
