Virgin Voyages tipping and gratuities in 2026 can look totally different than what you’re used to... and that’s exactly why there’s so much confusion right now. In this episode, we break down what’s actually changed (and what hasn’t) so you know what to expect before you sail. We cover how the gratuities line item works, the $20 vs $22 per day difference, and why it often feels like a “new fee” even when it isn’t. You’ll also learn the biggest legacy-fare nuance tied to October 7, 2025, plus what happens when you change dates, add sailors, or adjust your booking. And yes! We talk through tipping onboard, when people choose to do it anyway, and the non-awkward ways to show crew appreciation. ******Note: I know a lot of you are going to ask about "can tips be removed?"I'm here with helpful tips, but I've never said I'm an encyclopedia nor google with every single answer out there. I'm not suggesting I know your intentions, but every time I've been asked this question, I don't like the result of what someone does with the answer. These are topics I'm going to let you do your own research on because if you are considering Virgin Voyages, it means you're a capable adult.
