Virgin Voyages is heading into 2026 with big changes. Some exciting, some controversial. In this video, I break down what’s new (and what’s honestly frustrating), starting with the new airline-style pricing tiers and why they’re confusing so many Sailors. We’ll also cover the gratuities update, why ships feel busier than ever, and what that means for dining, shows, and planning onboard. Plus: the most anticipated itinerary shifts.. hello Alaska, Panama Canal, Solar Eclipse sailings, and the revamped Eat & Drink Festival timing! If you’re sailing in 2026 (first-timer or loyal Sailor), this is your clear, no-fluff rundown of what to expect. ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! *****💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing!🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal)🔗https://bookwithcl.com🔗https://bookwithcl.com🔗https://bookwithcl.comNeed a how to?
