How do you join Virgin Voyages’ Sailing Club? When you’ve completed your first cruise with Virgin Voyages, you’ll be automatically enrolled in the Sailing Club.

Membership level Number of cruises
Virgin Voyages’ Sailing Club member After 1 cruise
Blue Extras 3-4 cruises
Deep Blue Extras 5+ cruises

To be enrolled in the Virgin Voyages’ Sailing Club, you’ll need to have sailed on a voyage that’s been paid for in full. Any reduced rate voyages are not eligible for membership perks. For example, if you’ve used a discounted access key, it’s a gifted cruise, a free casino cruise or a cruise that’s been purchased with airline points, you won’t receive Sailing Club benefits. 

How do you earn virgin voyages loyalty programme perks? Like other cruise line’s loyalty programmes, with Virgin Voyages’ Sailing Club, the more you sail, the more benefits you unlock. Once you’ve completed two voyages you’ll move up to the Blue Extras tier and can start to enjoy a wider range of perks on your third cruise, and after four voyages, you’ll move up to the Deep Blue Extras tier, where you can take advantage of VIP perks on your fifth getaway with Virgin Voyages.

All members of the Virgin Voyages' Sailing Club can access exclusive offers, priority alert to promotions and a members quarterly newsletter once they've enrolled. However, alongside these, you'll be able to benefit from the following when you reach the Blue Extras and Deep Blue Extras tier:
