Earlier this year, Virgin Voyages shook up its use-points-for-cruises options, making more sailings available with points while massively increasing the cost.

Now, there’s a sliver of good news, as several Caribbean sailings in November and December are available at good rates, starting at 62,000 points per person. And those prices include your meals and drinks on board.

Not all of the cruises available using points have the same price or the same route, so let’s check out the details of each.

Book a 5- or 6-Night Caribbean Cruise With Virgin Points

Virgin Voyages offers routes in numerous locations, and you can book them with points through Virgin Red. Unfortunately, the cost of using points for Virgin Voyages cruises skyrocketed earlier this year.

Luckily, several Caribbean sailings in November and December are available at discounted rates. These prices include using points for 2 people:

The rate is the same whether you have 1 or 2 guests, making this one of the best ways to book a cruise with points and miles. You’ll be booked in a Sea Terrace guest room with a large balcony.

Note that taxes and fees will run you a few hundred dollars on most sailings.

How To Get Even Better Rates With a Transfer Bonus

Through October 18, 2025, there’s a 30% transfer bonus from Citi to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. To be clear, Flying Club isn’t the same as Virgin Red — the program you’ll use for booking your Virgin Voyages cruise with points.

However, you can link your Virgin Red and Flying Club accounts for seamless, free, and instant points transfers between the 2 programs. That way, you can get a 30% transfer bonus to require fewer points for booking your upcoming cruise.

Using the 30% bonus, you’d transfer just 124,000 Citi ThankYou Points to get the 160,000 points needed for a cruise for 2 people. That’s 62,000 points per person, including your room, Wi-Fi, dining, and more.

Hot Tip:

Use our handy transfer partner tool calculator to know exactly how many points and miles you’ll need to move over from credit card programs to airline loyalty partners.

Final Thoughts

If you want to use points for a good price on a Virgin Voyages cruise in November or December, there are several deals available. Plus, you can combine these offers with a 30% transfer bonus to require even fewer points for your reservation.

The availability for these sailings can and will change, as they’re priced dynamically. We don’t know how long these prices will last, but we do know the transfer bonus will end on October 18.
