Unlocking the Magic of Virgin Voyages Sailor Loot
Virgin Voyages Sailor Loot
When you step aboard a Virgin Voyages ship, you’ll quickly notice that the cruise line speaks its own language. From “Sailors” instead of passengers to “The Galley” instead of a buffet, Virgin Voyages has reimagined the cruise experience. One of the most exciting perks they offer is Sailor Loot—a playful name for onboard credit that can seriously help you enjoy your next Virgin Voyage.

What Is Sailor Loot?
Sailor Loot is what Virgin Voyages refers to as its onboard credit. Think of it as a preloaded balance you can use throughout your cruise. You might receive Sailor Loot:
As part of a booking promotion (e.g., “Sailor Loot included when you book by X date”).
Through a First Mate travel advisor or a special offer.
By purchasing future voyages onboard, which often come with bonus Sailor Loot.
On my last sailing, we ended up with a nice amount of Sailor Loot and a nice bar tab. It really enhanced our experience. We weren't stressed about spending too much extra money on our trip. You can see how I saved big on this sailing -> Save on Resilient Lady Virgin Voyages.

How Can You Use Sailor Loot?
The beauty of Sailor Loot is its flexibility. You can spend it on nearly anything onboard, including:
Shore excursions (Virgin calls them “Shore Things”).
Spa treatments at Redemption Spa. Redemption Spa is amazing! We enjoyed a port day special with our sailor loot. I have also enjoyed using the Redemption Spa thermal area on previous cruises. Talk about relaxation.
Specialty dining upgrades or wine pairings. We have used ours for the cocktail pairings at Test Kitchen and to add oysters to our meal at the Wake.
Merchandise from Virgin Voyages’ chic onboard shops.
Experiences like mixology classes or tattoo sessions at Squid Ink. We enjoyed the Shot for Shot Class on our most recent Virgin Voyage.
Unlike Virgin’s Bar Tab, which is limited to drinks, Sailor Loot covers a wide range of purchases. Think of it as those extras that take your trip to the next level.

Tips to Maximize Your Sailor Loot
Book smart: Look for promotions that include Sailor Loot—it’s essentially free money.
Plan ahead: Use Sailor Loot for experiences you wouldn’t normally splurge on, like spa treatments or premium excursions.
Combine with Bar Tab: If you’re a cocktail lover, consider adding a Bar Tab alongside Sailor Loot for full coverage.
Don’t leave it unused: Sailor Loot expires at the end of your voyage, so make sure to spend it all.
🚢 Final Thoughts
Virgin Voyages has created a cruise experience that feels fresh, modern, and indulgent. Sailor Loot is a big part of that—it’s not just credit, it’s an invitation to treat yourself. Whether you’re getting a massage at Redemption Spa, booking a snorkeling adventure in Bimini, or picking up a stylish souvenir, Sailor Loot ensures your voyage feels a little more luxe.
