This isn’t your typical voyage announcement, this is the drop — a handpicked collection of immersive 2026 Specialty Cruises that combine Virgin Voyages’ signature style with next-level experiences.
Each limited-edition sailing offers a collectible, one-of-a-kind experience, while giving you multiple opportunities to reconnect with your Sailors to drive repeat business, or connect with new clients looking for a unique way to cruise. From food festivals and solar eclipses to curated holiday celebrations, these voyages deliver the kind of buzz that makes booking easy — and rebooking inevitable.
Explore the drop: earn year-round from immersive experiences
Here's a peek at what's sailing in 2026 (and selling fast):
- Holidays unleashed: Whether it’s an ugly sweater party to get into the Holiday spirit, or letting love rule the waves during Valentine's Day, our ships are ready for solos, couples, or groups to ring in all the holidays.
- Foodie moments: Now in its fifth year, our Eat & Drink Festival returns with reimagined menus, tasting events, cooking demos, bar takeovers, and culinary activations that turn each meal into a momentous event.
- Relax and recharge: From group fitness and meditation classes to restorative workshops, Sailors can set their intentions for the year during Wellbeing Season.
- The VIP Experience: Each year Virgin adds a new chapter to its 50+ year legacy during our annual Red Hot Sailing Club Voyage. With special events and guest speakers from across the Virgin brand, this voyage celebrates and honors the people who make everything possible: our most loyal Sailors.
- Eclipse Voyages: Your Sailors can witness a solar eclipse (in full totality!) from the best seat in the world — the middle of the ocean. This is one of the most fascinating and rare events (ever), and we have two exclusive Eclipse Voyages your Sailors will love.
Increased earnings during limited booking windows
Here’s the thing about drops — they only come around once. What makes these sailings so lucrative that you should’ve booked your Sailors, like, yesterday? Let’s dive in:
- Inspire repeat bookings: every voyage is one-time-only, giving you a fresh story to sell year after year.
- Engage new audiences: themed cruises attract niche communities: wellness seekers, foodies, sports fans, and more.
- Increase commissions: higher price points and Pay-in-Full incentives mean bigger paydays for you.
- Boost loyalty: exclusive experiences drive repeat Sailors and elevate your client relationships.
Stories don’t Restock — and neither do these sailings
The 2026 Specialty Cruise Drop isn’t just a lineup — it’s a year-long opportunity to sell unique, immersive, adults-only experiences that redefine travel at sea.
Encourage your clients to book early (and often) because once these voyages set sail, they’re gone for good.
