Virgin includes a lot, but there’s a list of extras you can add before you sail. Some are worth booking early because they sell out or only come with a bonus before you board. Others you can happily leave until you’re on the ship.
Book as soon as you can
- Bar Tab. Only pre-booked Bar Tabs get the bonus credit. How the Bar Tab works, plus our Bar Tab calculator
- Spa treatments and Thermal Suite passes. These go fast on short sailings. Spa prices
- Shore Things. Popular excursions sell out, especially in Alaska and on short Caribbean sailings.
- Restaurant and show bookings. These open in the app before you sail. First things to do after booking
Celebrating something?
Virgin has two packages built for it: Splash of Romance for couples and Splash for Your Bash for birthdays and groups. Both are limited per sailing, so book early. We’ve done both and reviewed them honestly.
You can also pre-order smaller treats to be waiting for you:
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| Chocolates (Choco Courier) | $20 |
| Chocolates and non-alcoholic fizz | $45 |
| Chocolates and Moët & Chandon | $120 |
| A bottle of Moët & Chandon | $125 |
| Fresh flowers (Miami and San Juan sailings only) | from $60 |
| Beer buckets (six beers) | from $35 |
| Cocktail buckets (six cocktails) | $65 |
Prices are from Virgin’s add-ons page in October 2026, in US dollars, and can change. Most add-ons can be bought up to 48 hours before you sail; flowers need 72 hours.
Leave it until you’re on board
- WiFi upgrades. Basic WiFi is included, so see if it’s enough before paying for more.
- Paid drinks events such as the Grog Walk book on board. Which are worth it
