Summary
Virgin Voyages has made some big changes lately, and if you haven't looked closely, you might miss them. In this episode, I'm joined by my travel advisor partner Wendy to break down what's really different, what it means for your cruise, and whether Virgin still delivers that signature "almost all-inclusive" experience people love. We're covering the new fare structure, what's no longer included, and how to book smart in 2026.
If Virgin Voyages is on your radar, this is a must-listen before you book.
