Want to visit Richard Branson’s Necker Island? This cruise line will give you an invitation with the correct reservation

If you thought Virgin Voyages’ unlimited cruises in 2025 were a milestone, wait until you hear what the cruise line has in store for next year.

Virgin Voyages has expanded its Annual Pass, which allows travelers to hop on and hop off on an unlimited number of cruises within a 12-month window. In 2026, the line will include a weeklong stay on Necker Island, Richard Branson’s private 74-acre estate in the British Virgin Islands, with round-trip airfare and boat transfers included.

For reference, a weeklong Necker Island vacation for two typically starts at $43,610 ($6,230 per night for a Guest House room) — and that’s not including airfare and transportation to the island.

However, that Annual Pass won’t come cheap. Cruisers (or Sailors, as the line calls them) will shell out a cool $199,000 per cabin for an unlimited cruise pass. (The cost of the 2025 pass was $120,000 per cabin.)

While $199,000 is a hefty sum, it comes with a number of impressive perks, including a $10,000 cruise and one privately hosted cruise each quarter (four per year), in addition to a stay on Necker Island.

The cost of the Annual Pass 2026 includes seating on the Sea Terrace balcony, which is a step up from the interior and sea view cabins. The pass also includes a birthday upgrade to a RockStar Quarters suite (top of the line accommodations), personalized RockStar apparel, and a beach, poolside or grove cabana at the private beach club in Bimini (limited to 10 per year).

Expect additional perks like laundry services, premium Wi-Fi for two devices and a $100 Bar Tab credit (Virgin Voyages’ version of the beverage package) on each cruise. And, when you book, you’ll immediately earn loyalty status for the top of the line, Deep Blue Extras.

Virgin’s Annual Pass 2026 is valid for cruises on all of the line’s ships, including Brilliant Lady, which will be launched in September. It will be allowed to book until March 31, 2026. You can choose the starting date of Jan. 1, Feb. 1, March 1 or April 1 to get a 2026 pass, and it will be valid for 12 months from that date.

Note that taxes and port fees for each trip are not included in the $199,000 price tag. You must pay those at the time of booking each trip. Also, as mentioned above, the cost is per cabin. Therefore, solo travelers will still pay the full $199,000 (but only need to pay taxes and fees for one guest).

Looking for other ways to vacation on Necker Island on the cheap? You can redeem 630,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points (and pay $5,700) for a three-night stay for two.
