How to Redeem Virgin Points for This Offer

First things first, you’ll want to head to the Virgin Voyages website to confirm there is availability for the specific cruise and dates you are interested in.

Next, you’ll need to make sure you have a Virgin Red account, the overarching loyalty program for all things Virgin. Even if you already have a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club airline account, you’ll need to create a Virgin Red account in order to transfer any points and redeem them for this cruise. You can create an account here.

Don’t worry: if you have miles in your Virgin Atlantic account, you’ll be able to link it with your Virgin Red account during the sign-up process and any miles will show up in your Virgin Red account.

Since most of the credit card transfer partners to Virgin are through the airline Virgin Atlantic (with the exception of Capital One), you’ll need to make sure your accounts are linked if you plan to transfer most credit card points to Virgin.

You can transfer credit card points to Virgin from the following points programs:

 

Once you have the required amount of Virgin points in your account for the cruise you want to book, just sign into your Virgin Red account and click “Redeem.” You’ll find both deals available in the “Featured” section on the Virgin Red homepage.

You won’t be able to proceed if you don’t have enough points in your account.

Assuming you have enough points in your account to cover the purchase, after clicking “Redeem” you’ll receive an access code that you can use to book your cruise directly with Virgin Voyages.

 

Our Take

This is a pretty solid deal. It’s one of the best ways to cover a cruise with points and a great way to use your Virgin points, to boot.

While none of the Thrifty Traveler staff have ever been on a Virgin Voyages cruise, they’ve gotten great reviews since launching in 2021. And considering this price includes all meals and entertainment for two people, it seems like a great option to cruise on the cheap.

 

Bottom Line

It’s not often that you can book a cruise with points, which makes this a pretty great deal. If you have Virgin points (or transferrable credit card points), this is a fantastic option for a five- to eight-night, all-inclusive, adults-only cruise.

The promotion is valid for departures before June 30, 2023, so don’t wait to take advantage if you are interested – rooms could sell out fast!

    • Hi Nancy! Since your dates would be pretty specific, I would suggest searching with Google Flights and potentially setting up a few price alerts.

  • This is an awesome deal!!! I was looking at booking one in November and wish j could change the dates. Do you know can you book virgin voyages all the time with transfer partners points? Or if they’ll do this special again?

  • I looked under “Featured” but could not find the cruise option, is this only visible if you have enough points? Thank you.
