How it works
Does Virgin Voyages have a drinks package?
No, and that’s good news for most Sailors. Instead of paying a fixed daily price, you load money onto a Bar Tab before you sail and Virgin tops it up with a bonus. You then spend it in any bar, on cocktails, wine, beer, speciality coffee, juices and mocktails.
There’s no daily limit, you can share it with your cabin if you all use one card, and you only buy what you’ll actually drink. The catch: unused Bar Tab isn’t refunded, so it pays to work out the right amount first. That’s exactly what our calculator below does.

How to make your Bar Tab go further

Your questions answered
Virgin Voyages Bar Tab FAQs
Does Virgin Voyages have a drinks package?
No. Virgin Voyages offers a pre-paid Bar Tab instead, with a bonus on top: $25 on a $200 tab up to $250 on a $1,000 tab. Use our calculator to see how much you need.
What drinks are included on Virgin Voyages?
Soft drinks, still and sparkling water, drip coffee and tea are included in your fare. Alcohol, speciality coffee, fresh juices and Red Bull are extra. See what’s included.
Will I get a refund for any unused Bar Tab?
No. Unused Bar Tab isn’t refunded, so it’s better to buy a little less than you think and top up on board.
Do we each need our own Bar Tab?
Not necessarily. Bar Tabs are individual unless you agree to share. If your cabin uses one payment card for everyone, a single Bar Tab is shared between you. Prefer separate tabs? Each Sailor keeps their own card and Bar Tab.
Can I buy drinks for other Sailors with my Bar Tab?
Yes. The Bar Tab is linked to you, but you can buy drinks for anyone on board.
Can I use my Bar Tab for drinks classes and events?
No. Ticketed drinks events and classes can’t be paid for with your Bar Tab, but you can use onboard credit (Sailor Loot).
Can I carry my Bar Tab over to a back-to-back voyage?
Usually not. Bar Tab is for one voyage. Virgin has allowed it on a few long repositioning sailings, but don’t count on it.
How much should I budget for drinks on Virgin Voyages?
A couple having a speciality coffee, a beer by the pool and three or four cocktails each a day will spend roughly $65–75 each a day. That’s where a $750 or $1,000 Bar Tab starts to pay off on a week-long voyage. Try your own numbers.
