Virgin Voyages’ Splash of Romance is a $250-per-cabin add-on (for two Sailors) that bundles priority boarding and a dedicated check-in, two 3-hour thermal spa passes, daily cold-pressed juice, a bottle of Moët & Chandon delivered through the “Shake for Champagne,” a Toast of Romance cocktail event, and a collection of chocolates. For most couples it lands as a smart relaxation-and-value perk rather than a grand romantic gesture — because the real romance comes built into Virgin’s adults-only ships.
What is the Splash of Romance package on Virgin Voyages?
Splash of Romance is an optional experience package you add to a Virgin Voyages booking before you sail. According to Virgin Voyages, it’s priced per cabin (covering two Sailors) and is capped at roughly the first 90 cabins per voyage, so it can sell out on popular sailings. It launched a few years ago at $200 and now sits at $250. Think of it less as a “honeymoon package” and more as a curated bundle of spa time, bubbly and skip-the-line convenience aimed at couples and anyone celebrating.
What’s included in Splash of Romance?
For one flat price, two Sailors in the same cabin get all of the following:
- Priority boarding and a dedicated check-in — a separate line and an expedited walk onto the ship on embarkation day.
- Two 3-hour thermal spa passes — one complimentary pass per Sailor at the Redemption Spa’s thermal suite (mud room, steam, sauna, heated loungers), used on the day you choose. Book it early, because spa times fill up.
- Daily cold-pressed juice — one per Sailor per day, picked up at the Gym & Tonic bar.
- A “Shake for Champagne” — one bottle of Moët & Chandon summoned by shaking your phone in the Sailor App and delivered to your cabin, a sunlounger or wherever you are. Some Sailors report being able to take roughly $100 in Bar Tab credit instead.
- A Toast of Romance event — a hosted cocktail/sail-away moment at a spot Virgin picks each voyage.
- A collection of chocolates — sweet “aphrodisiac bites” delivered to your cabin, typically mid-sailing rather than on day one.
How much does Splash of Romance cost?
As of 2026, Splash of Romance is $250 per cabin for two Sailors — not per person — up from the $200 price when it first launched. It’s limited to about the first 90 cabins on each sailing, so if you want it, add it well before you board. Here’s roughly how the value breaks down against that $250:
| What you get | Approx. standalone value |
|---|---|
| 2 × 3-hour thermal spa passes | ~$100+ |
| Moët & Chandon bottle (or ~$100 Bar Tab credit) | ~$100 |
| Daily juices, chocolates, priority boarding, Toast event | ~$50+ |
| Package price | $250 / cabin |
According to a detailed Cruise Habit review, the included perks tally to about $253 in standalone value — essentially a break-even trade, before you factor in the convenience.
Is Splash of Romance worth it?
Here’s our honest take as advisors who sail Virgin: Splash of Romance is worth it when you’d already spend around $100 on drinks and you’ll actually use the spa and juice — in that case the math roughly pays for itself and the priority boarding is a nice bonus. It’s less worth it if you’re expecting a romantic production. As the Cruise Habit reviewer put it, the package is “practical rather than romantic” — there are no rose petals, no cabin decorations, no photos and no private dinner. It’s closer to a relaxation-and-value bundle than a honeymoon-in-a-box. If romance is the real goal, the better move is often a regular sailing on Virgin’s adults-only ship plus one or two of the celebration add-ons below — or simply let your advisor arrange the extras that matter to you.
Splash of Romance vs. other Virgin Voyages celebration add-ons
Splash of Romance isn’t Virgin’s only way to mark an occasion. According to the VV Insider packages guide, you can also pre-purchase these:
| Package | Best for | Starts at |
|---|---|---|
| Splash of Romance | Couples who’ll use the spa + want champagne value | $250 / cabin |
| Splash for Your Bash | Birthdays, anniversaries & groups (dinner party, bottomless brunch, Moët; up to 9 guests) | $250 |
| Bubbles / Chocolate & Champagne add-on | A simple in-cabin surprise (Moët + Lily O’Brien’s chocolates) | À la carte |
| Flowers package Miami & San Juan only | Flowers, chocolate & bubbles waiting onboard | À la carte |
How to plan a romantic Virgin Voyages cruise
The package is the small stuff. The big romantic win on Virgin is the ship itself:
- It’s adults-only (18+). No kids, no formal nights, and most dining, tips, group fitness, soda, drip coffee and Wi-Fi are already in the fare — see our adults-only guide and our romance-focused couples review.
- It’s a natural fit for honeymoons, anniversaries, babymoons and vow renewals. If you’re marking something bigger, start with our Virgin Voyages weddings & honeymoons guide.
- Plan around Scarlet Night. Virgin’s free, ship-wide red party is one of the most fun nights at sea — here’s what to expect.

Tips to get the most out of Splash of Romance
- Book your spa time on day one. The two thermal passes are the most valuable piece, and the best slots (sea days, sail-away) go quickly — reserve them as soon as you board rather than waiting.
- Save the champagne for a moment. Because you can Shake for Champagne anywhere, pour it on your balcony at sail-away or up on deck at sunset instead of in a quiet cabin at noon.
- Do the math on drinks first. If you two wouldn’t otherwise spend about $100 on alcohol and won’t use the spa, the package is harder to justify — a simple drinks-and-Bar-Tab plan may serve you better.
- Pick the right cabin. A Sea Terrace with its own balcony hammock is the sweet spot for couples; our cabin guide breaks down which rooms are worth it and which to skip.
- Stack it with what’s already free. Group fitness, nightly entertainment, most dining and Scarlet Night cost nothing extra, so you don’t need a package to have a big romantic night — Splash of Romance just layers convenience on top.
Virgin Voyages Splash of Romance FAQ
Is Splash of Romance per person or per cabin?
Per cabin. One $250 purchase (as of 2026) covers both Sailors in the stateroom — you don’t pay twice.
What champagne comes with Splash of Romance?
A bottle of Moët & Chandon, delivered when you “Shake for Champagne” in the Sailor App. Some Sailors report being able to swap it for about $100 in Bar Tab credit instead.
Does Splash of Romance include cabin decorations or flowers?
No. It’s built around spa passes, champagne, juice, chocolates and priority boarding — not decorations, photos or a private dinner. Flowers are a separate add-on available in Miami and San Juan, and your advisor can arrange other surprises.
Can I buy Splash of Romance after I book my cruise?
Yes — it’s a pre-voyage purchase you add before you sail. Because it’s capped at roughly 90 cabins per voyage, it can sell out, so add it early.
Is Splash of Romance worth it for a honeymoon?
If you’ll use the thermal spa and want champagne waiting, the value roughly matches the price. For a honeymoon specifically, the bigger romance factor is the adults-only ship — pair a sailing with the package and let your advisor add extras that feel special.
Do you get priority boarding with Splash of Romance?
Yes. Priority boarding and a dedicated check-in line are included, which gets you onboard and into vacation mode faster on embarkation day.
