Frequently asked questions

A ship has to move between seasons — out of the Caribbean and into the Mediterranean, or from the Atlantic round to the Pacific. Rather than sail it empty, Virgin sells the crossing. That is why these are the longest sailings on the calendar and the lowest per-night fares Virgin runs.

We hold a block of cabins on a sailing at a fare we have negotiated with Virgin, and we pass it on. It is the same ship, the same cabin category and the same inclusions as any other booking — the only thing that changes is the number, and the bonus Bar Tab we attach to it.

Yes. The struck-through figure on each card is Virgin's own published Essential fare for that exact cabin, pulled live from our pricing sync — not a made-up "was" price. Where there is no strikethrough, Virgin is not currently selling that cabin at a comparable fare.

They do. Each one holds a finite block of cabins for a limited time, so a deal can disappear because the block sold through or because the hold expired. That is the honest reason to move on one you like rather than watch it.

It runs most of the day and the ship is built for watching it — you go up three chambers at Gatun, cross the lake, thread the Culebra Cut where they blasted through the continental divide, then step back down to the Pacific. People are on deck from dawn. It is the rare sea day nobody sleeps through.

Less than you fear and more than you expect. The ship keeps its full run of restaurants, shows, classes and nightlife, and a repositioning crowd tends to use them properly because nobody is up at 6am for an excursion. If you want a week where the plan is the ship, this is the sailing that gives it to you.

You fly one direction and sail the other, so you want an open-jaw ticket — in at one end, home from the other. It is usually no more expensive than a return, and we will tell you which end to book first.

Yes. A deposit holds the cabin and the fare under Virgin's standard terms, and deposits are refundable within those terms. Holding is how you stop someone else taking the cabin location you wanted.

Itineraries, ports and times are as published by Virgin Voyages and are subject to change. Exclusive Serious Deals are per cabin at double occupancy, subject to availability, and hold a limited block of cabins — a deal can be withdrawn at any time and is only held once a booking is confirmed and deposited. Comparison fares are Virgin's published Essential fare for the same cabin at the time this page was rendered. “Better deal” is that fare less our fare for the same cabin, plus the bonus Bar Tab and Sailor Loot attached to the booking, taking whichever of Sea Terrace or Central Sea Terrace is larger. Serious Sailors™ is an independent travel agency specialising in Virgin Voyages.
