Virgin Voyages Gratuities Policy
Starting October 7, 2025, To support our incredible Crew — the ones who deliver unforgettable memories from morning lattes to laundry service — we automatically apply a daily service gratuity of $22 USD per Sailor to your onboard folio.
Prefer to take care of it in advance? Pre-pay before the voyage begins and pay just $20 USD per night.
Unlike other cruise lines, we don’t add extra gratuities to drinks, spa services, or dining experiences during your voyage. That daily service gratuity is all you’ll ever be asked to contribute — and it supports the entire Crew who bring the Virgin Voyages magic to life.
Are there additional tips for purchases on board?
Nope — once your service gratuity is covered, that’s it.
We keep things refreshingly simple: there’s no need to tip for drinks, dining, or spa treatments during your voyage. Your service gratuity supports the entire Crew, so you can focus on enjoying every moment — without reaching for your wallet after every order.
It’s all part of our promise to make your holiday feel effortlessly inclusive.
