VIRGINMONEYAUSTRALIA

We’re giving you an exclusive 50% off Sea Terrace Cabins on select sailings through March 2024 — and the chance to experience our multi-award-winning, exclusive adult voyages this summer. Please note, the discount applies to the reduced inaugural season rates.

At the "Summary Page", enter the coupon code VIRGINMONEYAUSTRALIA as the "access key" to trigger the 50% discount.

Received as an email as I was a Virgin Money customer, but the offer appears to be generic on their website. Even if not, perhaps the coupon code is generic. If anyone books a holiday, report back and I can update. Unfortunately, their website is giving a 404 if you try and check the details of any cruise - hopefully they fix it soon. Edit: I was having issues with the website with adblockers on. You may have more success with adblockers / content blockers disabled.

Book before: 28 December 2023
Sail window: 29 December 2023 - 2 March 2024
Eligible voyages: Departing Sydney or Melbourne.

Applicable to:

  • 29/12/23 Resilient Pacific New Years Ahoy
  • 12/1/24 Maori & Australian Shores

      Well, the whole website is broken for me at the moment, so let me know if you have any more luck.

      The email sent to me gave the (above) coupon code, but the generic website linked in the deal doesn't suggest that it's necessary.

      • tzd116 on 15/12/2023 - 15:28

        Try to use a laptop/desktop as it seems to work on full website instead of mobile page. You get to put in the code and click ‘validate’ once you have selected the cabin type. On the mobile page, the code does nothing but on full website, the discount appears after that.

        I was seriously keen until I found out that I can’t take my kids with me.

        • ts13 on 15/12/2023 - 15:36

          I was already on desktop, and still having issues, but I turned off my adblockers / content blockers and the website is working better. I'll leave some notes in the deal post. Thanks.

      You enter it in a field called "Access Key".

      Did a dummy booking for Melb to Hobart 4 nights 27/2 - 2/3 for $1748 in a regular Sea View room or $1912 for two people in a "locked in rate" Sea Terrace room. Seems decent, was coincidentally looking at Virgin Voyages this morning. Although doesn't seem like you can pay with Velocity points which is super weird? When i looked this morning on the VV site, it linked to Luxury Escapes and you could use points. Weird.

      This is not a very helpful comment. I put quite a bit of time and effort into compiling the deal post. As evidenced by comments above - it is helping people, such as those who were already looking at Virgin Voyages today and did not know about the deal.

      It's quite common for deals which post a flat rate discount across multiple products to not have a price in title. The 50% discount is stated in the title. There are different cruises available, so it's impossible to state a price in title. Yes, you could put an example price, but as stated in the comment, I can't confirm them as the booking system is currently down, and there are very different classes of cruises (varying lengths, and domestic and international destinations). If the mods prefer me to put an example price in title, I am happy to comply.

      Recent examples of no price in title: Flat 15% discount on Airalo Sims
      Further 50% off already reduced sale prices at CK / Tommy Hilfiger

      Instead of parroting deal rules in circumstances where they don't make much sense, please think about whether you are actually contributing to the community.

    Did a dummy booking for the 12/1/24 Maori & Australian Shores trip. Came down to $3598 for the 11 nights which seems like a great deal. It started off at $6074 before the discount code was added and couldn't figure out why it wasn't $3000. Looked closely at the breakdown and The 50% off doesn't include the taxes.

    The Sea Terrace
    Sailor 1 A$2,477.06
    Sailor 2 A$2,477.06
    Tips Included
    Taxes and fees A$1,120
    Cabin total A$6,074.12

    Limited Time Offers Applied -A$2,476.12
    Voyage total A$3,598

    Probably a usual practice but thought I'd mention it.

    • morebunnings on 16/12/2023 - 11:11

      I was on the maiden voyage, Sydney - Melbourne. It was great. Shows were very sexually charged, so definitely for younger adults. Food was great. Ship was nice.

      This is one of the few cruise lines that don't offer an unlimited drinks package. Drinks sound reasonable price when you're on board, but it's in usd, so they are quite expensive once converted. ($4 small coffee becomes $7au)

      Having an app to msg for room service worked surprisingly well.

      Incredible value for the money.

    Good deal.

    Shame that Virgin Voyages does not show the actual price including taxes and fees until checkout - isn't that illegal in Australia?

    Anyways, the 5 night from Melbourne on 27/1/23 is $930 including taxes, so ok, but not that great.

      I think you're looking at prices in US Dollars. The US prices don't include taxes and fees but those in AUD do earlier in the booking process. I'm seeing $1398 AUD for the cabin on 27/1 (which is about the $930 USD you have mentioned).

      • movieman on 15/12/2023 - 19:13

        Wow, quite pricey then.

    If anyone is interested my travel agency can apply this promo AND provide you with onboard credit (Sailor Loot) which varies based on the length of the sailing.

    Win-Win. You still pay Virgin Voyages directly - nothing else changes.

    Just PM me for a quote or reply here and I'll let you know what the amount would be. It won't be massive (because the fare is so cheap) but it will be better than nothing!

    For the shorter ones it is likely to be around $25USD and the longer ones $50-$75 USD (even though the fares are in AUD sailor loot is USD)…

    N.B. we are ATAS and IATA accredited.

          You can create your booking using this link - just make sure you choose the correct cruise date and use the access key in the original post. (only certain cruise dates are eligible, so keep that in mind - use the original post details). Choose "hold booking" and I will review it to make sure it's all in order and then let you know you can proceed. If the cruise is coming up soon - it may not let you hold the booking and payment in full is required immediately.

          In the top right corner of the screen you'll see the button to email us. You can get in touch that way.

          @ern123 was the $50 US Credit listed on the Summary page or payment page when you checked out? or did it get added to your booking after you paid because you clicked via @meowsers booking link? I'm trying to make a booking but can't see it listed anywhere and didn't want to continue with the booking in case I was doing it wrong as "hold booking" is not an option and payment is required straight away.

            As long as you see "Sold and Serviced by Travel Ease" in the top left corner I'll be able to add the credit after you book. You can't do a held booking because I am assuming you are trying to book within 45 days of the cruise.

            The website is having major issues right now so the booking like may intermittently load, as others have said disable your adblocker and try again if it's not working.

        The OP who posted this deal (ts13) browser was probably set for US-ENG hence they were getting USD prices.

        Essentially once you use the Australian site you are quoted in AUD and charged in AUD. All sailor loot is USD because all on board charges are converted.

        :) Hope that helps.

        Once you book using our link and the OPs access key we manually apply your sailor loot credit based on the duration of the cruise.

        • Chickenleg on 16/12/2023 - 04:50

          Cheers, was a bit confused with everyone mentioning USD because all my figures stated “A” next the prices.

          Going to do some further thinking this weekend and will PM you if booked. Looking at 4 night Melb to Hobart. Real shame can’t use points as I also need to buy return flights from SA so it would help keep the cost down.

          If you haven't paid in full we can still add the credit. If you have paid in full Virgin doesn't allow changes from an agency.

          But otherwise no, there are no codes for Bar Tabs currently.

          The best you could do would be a status match if you hold elite status. That will get you $100 bar tab and plenty of extras which can still be combined with this offer.

    Outstanding service provided by @meowsers for our family booking. Answered a bunch of questions, arranged cabins next to each other, linked bookings and provided sailor loot (OBC) for each cabin. Can 100% recommend booking via Travel Ease's link above. Thanks once again @meowsers it's greatly appreciated!

    why adult only? Australian society is becoming very anti family

      There are plenty of family cruise lines, this is just another option for those seeking an adults-only experience. More choice = Better experiences for all.
