Virgin Voyages now accepting Bitcoin for cruise bookings

As a seasoned crypto investor and frequent traveler, this news from Virgin Voyages is music to my ears! I remember when Bitcoin was just a blip on the radar, now it’s setting sail with one of the most innovative cruise lines out there. This move not only validates the potential of cryptocurrencies but also caters to the growing demographic of tech-savvy travelers like myself.


Virgin Voyages has begun accepting Bitcoin as payment for cruise bookings. 

As a crypto enthusiast, I’m thrilled to be part of the pioneering wave! For the first time ever, we, the passengers, can now utilize Bitcoin to book our voyages on Virgin’s cruise line, established by Sir Richard Branson himself. What an exciting step forward in the integration of cryptocurrency into everyday life!

According to their official site, it’s possible to buy the company’s “Annual Pass” with Bitcoin (BTC). This is a groundbreaking move, as Virgin Voyages’ Annual Pass will be the inaugural cruise product that accepts cryptocurrency payments.

Virgin Voyages announces it is the first cruise line to accept #Bitcoin as payment.
