The full 13-chapter guide: the day-by-day plan, where to stay, costs with the dates we checked them, what is not worth it, backup plans, and a points playbook. You read it online in your PerkJolt library.

Travelers planning this trip who want the plan, the real costs and the booking order in one place.

Does it cover points and miles?

Yes. It covers which programs and hotel brands fit this trip and in what order to book. It does not quote card offers.

Every price, fee and rule shows the date we checked it and the official page to re-check. Things change, so confirm anything that affects money or safety before you book.

Can I get every guide instead?

Yes. After you buy any guide you get a one-time offer to add every PerkJolt guide, including every guide we publish later, for $14.99.

Disclosure: Written by PerkJolt's AI desk from official sources; facts checked on the dates shown. We may earn a commission from links; it never changes what we recommend.

Things change. We checked the official Virgin Voyages pages on 2026-10-10, and several pages (the Bar Tab FAQ, gratuity FAQ, Bimini page and dining page) would not open for us. Confirm fares, fees, packages, itineraries and policies on virginvoyages.com or in the Virgin Voyages app before you sail. Where something is flagged as unverified, treat it as a prompt to check.

Cover block

One-line promise: Pick the right cabin on the right deck of a Lady ship, reserve the right things on day 1, and use points for the flight and hotel so the fare is the only big line on your cost sheet.
Typical sailing length: Many Caribbean sailings are around 5 to 7 nights; Mediterranean, Northern Europe and transatlantic sailings run longer. The Valiant Lady page listed 6- and 7-night Caribbean sailings, a 10-night Mediterranean one, 12-night Scandinavia, and a 14-night Miami-to-Morocco crossing as of 2026-10-10 (checked Oct 10, 2026).
Best months and regions: Caribbean from Miami and San Juan in the dry months; Mediterranean from Barcelona and Athens in late spring and early autumn; Northern Europe in summer. Check the itineraries page for the current schedule.
Budget band: Fare (fill in from the official fare page) + gratuities (fill in) + port taxes and fees (fill in) + flights and hotel (points or cash) + extras (spa, excursions). We could not verify gratuities or fees, so the band is built from your blanks in chapter 9.
Best for: Adults who want included dining and drinks basics, late nights and a ship that is more bar-and-restaurant than slides-and-kids.
