What Is Sailor Loot?

Sailor Loot is Virgin Voyages’ onboard credit system. It works just like digital spending money loaded onto your account, ready to use across the ship. Whenever you make a purchase, your Sailor Loot is used automatically before your card on file.

It’s one of the simplest ways to enhance your voyage, especially if you enjoy onboard extras such as spa time, premium drinks, shore things, or unique Virgin Voyages experiences.

What Can Sailor Loot Be Spent On?

Sailor Loot is widely accepted across the ship and can be used for:

  • Premium drinks (cocktails, wines, speciality coffees)
  • Spa treatments and Thermal Suite access
  • Shopping and merchandise
  • Shore Things (excursions)
  • Fitness classes and paid activities
  • Tattoos and piercings at Squid Ink
  • Casino play

It’s an incredibly flexible way to enjoy more of the Virgin Voyages experience.

What Sailor Loot Cannot Be Used For

Sailor Loot is extremely flexible, but it does not apply to:

  • Purchasing Bar Tabs
  • Future cruise deposits (My Next Virgin Voyage)
  • Pre-voyage purchases made before boarding
  • Medical centre charges
