Creator's Key Takeaways

Virgin Voyages is making waves as they sail into a new era with pricing model changes

The base package is a non-refundable, barebones package. It has no flexibility at all.

The essential tier is the closest to what you would experience if you had sailed to Virgin Voyages previously.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't fall into the trap of booking base with the plan of upgrading later.
Get travel insurance if you book the base tier due to no flexibility.
Break out the cost analysis when choosing between premium and essential tiers.
