If you’re considering the Virgin Voyages Splash of Romance Package, it’s important to know the SIX key benefits you get from this add-on package.

This blog post breaks down each of those benefits and gives you some key tips to know so you can make the right decision for your Virgin Voyages sailing!

What is the Splash of Romance?

The “Splash of Romance” is an add-on package for your Virgin Voyages cruise.

It has recently increased in price (now $250) and you need ONE package per TWO people.

It’s an upgrade designed to enhance your cruising experience for a more luxurious sailing.

Notice how I didn’t say ROMANTIC?

It doesn’t have to be (because you don’t have to be a “couple” with the person you’re sharing your stateroom with).

That’s right: People in a NON ROMANTIC relationship get SPLASH OF ROMANCE. Why? The perks.

Limited in availability (and it ALWAYS sells out), this package offers SIX key benefits aimed at making your journey more enjoyable and exclusive. To be exact: Virgin Voyages is currently offering 90 Splash of Romance packages per sailing.

One of the key things to know about Splash of Romance?

Again, you don’t have to be a romantic couple to enjoy these benefits. You simply need to be in the same stateroom as your travel partner to enjoy the benefits.

If you’re considering it – book early! It sells out – both quickly and on every sailing. They’ve started to offer MORE per sailing (90 total), but it still sells out.

Early Boarding and VIP Check-in

One of the most coveted benefits of the Splash of Romance package is the ability to board the ship early.

Splash of Romance can board at 1:45pm. IGNORE what your normal boarding time says.

In the (painfully painful) app, under “add-ons” it will show you have this perk and you show it as you go to check in at the port.

This isn’t just about beating the queues; it’s about gaining first access to book entertainment, shows, and workouts, which are only available once you’re on board and connected to Virgin Voyages’ Wi-Fi.

The package facilitates this through a special check-in line at the port, where travelers receive a band and are whisked through a separate area than other sailors.

This allows Splash of Romance to access to the ship just behind the Rockstar passengers.

Refresh with Daily Pressed Juices

Every day of your voyage, the package entitles you to two freshly pressed juices, a nice perk especially considering their usual price range of $8 to $10.

These are available at multiple locations onboard, including the Athletic Club bar, pool bars and the Dock House, providing a healthy start or a refreshing break anytime during your day.

Relax and Unwind with Access to the Thermal Suite Spa

Another highlight is complimentary access to the thermal suite spa for three hours.

How do you book this? You do it in person once you are on the ship.

Simply head down to the 5th deck and the attendant will help slot you into your times (using a written sheet. It’s not on the app).

This exclusive spa area offers a variety of experiences, including cold and warm pools, a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and a mud room.

A helpful tip: if you want it to FEEL like the oasis of relaxation (that is it) – go when it’s not busy. In other words, early morning or a NON sea day are examples of times in which traffic might be lighter.

A Bottle of Moet Chandon with Shake for Champagne

This benefit alone pays for more than half of what you invested in this add-on package (but the fun of shaking for champagne is kind of priceless in my opinion)…

Virgin Voyages knows how to celebrate in style. With the Shake for Champagne option, a simple shake of your phone (when on the ship’s Wi-Fi and within the app) summons a bottle of Moet Chandon champagne to WHEREVER you are on the ship.

Why NOT add a touch of glam to your voyage?

Exclusive Party for Splash of Romance

Additionally, the package includes invitations to exclusive parties during the sailing.

These gatherings offer complimentary drinks and a chance to mingle with other guests, enhanced by the presence of the ship’s entertainment staff to ensure a memorable experience.

How do you find out about it? Don’t worry. There will be a note (invitation) in your stateroom once you arrive to the ship. Generally it’s held at The Perch, is NOT on the first night of your sailing and has music.

Delightful Extras: Sultry Bites and Flexibility in Accommodation

The package also includes the delivery of sultry bites to your room, adding a special touch to your stay.

And for those traveling with friends or family, it’s reassuring to know that the Splash of Romance IS NOT just for couples.

The flexibility in accommodation, including the option to arrange for more than one bed in your stateroom (you don’t have to share ONE bed), ensures that everyone can enjoy the benefits of the package, regardless of the nature of their relationship.

I love my mom, but we.. are not romantic…

Top question asked “How do I see it after I purchased Splash of Romance?”

It’ll be available under the “add-ons” section of your app. Simply click to “me” then “add-ons” and you’ll see it listed there along with anything else you’ve purchased.

Is Splash of Romance Worth It?

With the package’s limited availability (now expanded to 90 per sailing but still quick to sell out), the question remains: Is the Splash of Romance package worth it?

Considering the breadth of perks, from the early boarding and VIP treatment to the exclusive parties, premium beverages, and spa access, it offers significant value, especially for those looking to enhance their cruise experience with extra touches of luxury and exclusivity.

The package’s appeal extends beyond couples, welcoming friends and family members to partake in the enhanced experience. However, it’s crucial to book early due to its popularity and limited availability
