If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to vacation like a billionaire, now is your chance to find out — if you have $199,000 to spare. Virgin Voyages recently announced its 2026 annual pass cruise package, and it includes a week stay on founder Richard Branson’s private oasis, Necker Island.

Here’s what else you get for the price.

What’s Included in the 2026 Virgin Voyages Annual Pass

The Virgin Voyages annual pass allows you unlimited access to its cruises for up to 365 days of sailing. The cost includes accommodations in cabins with a private balcony and hammock, Wi-Fi access, laundry services, priority boarding, a $100 bar tab credit on every voyage, two daily coffee drinks and access to an exclusive VIP night.

For 2026, the package has been upgraded to include a week-long stay on Necker Island, roundtrip travel to Necker Island from anywhere in the continental U.S., daily champagne, a birthday cabin upgrade, one privately hosted excursion each quarter, a cabana at Virgin’s signature Beach Club in Bimini, custom robes and a $10,000 on-board shopping spree. Plus, you can take home your cabin’s hammock.

How Much Does It Usually Cost To Stay on Necker Island?

If you’re not the cruising type, you can still stay on Necker Island — for a hefty fee. The cost to rent out the entire island — which includes 24 luxury bedrooms and a children’s bunkroom — is roughly $155,000 per night. You can also opt to rent a private room for less — starting at about $6,000 per night.
