JetBlue Vacations, Virgin Voyages Launch Adults-Only Cruise Package
Bookings open at noon Eastern Time on October 21, 2026, through JetBlue Vacations; the charter flights will not appear on JetBlue’s regular schedule.
JetBlue Vacations and Virgin Voyages are offering an adults-only flight-and-cruise package for March 4–8, 2027, pairing charter flights between New York and South Florida with a four-night sailing aboard Brilliant Lady. The “Do Not Disturb” offer is limited to 60 cabins for 120 guests, with air travel restricted to passengers ages 18 and older.
The package costs $2,750 for two people, including taxes and fees. It combines round-trip airfare, cruise fare, gratuities and airport transfers.
Bookings open at noon Eastern Time on Oct. 21, 2026, through JetBlue Vacations at 1-844-528-2229. The charter flights will not appear on JetBlue’s regular schedule or website; travelers must purchase the complete package to fly on them.
“The idea of these brands partnering and creating a fully end-to-end kid-free experience is a truly one-of-a-kind vacation experience,” Virgin Voyages CEO Nirmal Saverimuttu said during an early October briefing.
From Terminal 5 to Bimini
The trip begins at John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 5, with an outbound flight to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Private transfers will take passengers to PortMiami, with luggage delivered directly to the ship. The return charter to New York follows disembarkation in Miami.
Guests will receive priority embarkation through Virgin Voyages’ RockStar entrance. The itinerary calls at Key West and the cruise line’s Beach Club at Bimini in the Bahamas, a route Saverimuttu described as the line’s “most popular voyage.”
Package extras include an in-flight toast, a private onboard welcome party with a custom cocktail, welcome gifts and a $100 Bar Tab drinks credit per cabin. BlueHouse lounge access at JFK is limited to 60 travelers.
Bookings will earn JetBlue TrueBlue points and credit toward Virgin Voyages’ Sailing Club loyalty program. The offer is currently confined to this single sailing.
JetBlue’s cruise package business grows
JetBlue Vacations introduced flight-and-cruise packages in 2021 and began selling Virgin Voyages cruises last year. Jamie Perry, president of Paisly, the JetBlue subsidiary that operates JetBlue Vacations, said the companies wanted to find another way to market their existing partnership.
“JetBlue Vacations’ cruise business has doubled from last year and is on track to double again next year,” Perry said during the briefing. He did not say whether that growth referred to revenue or passengers.
Virgin Voyages has maintained its adults-only policy since its first sailing in 2021. Perry described the new package as an effort to extend that experience into the travel before embarkation.
Potential follow-on offers could include departures from other cities, hotel packages and more adults-only flights, Perry said. “If this is as successful as we hope it will be, then there are certainly opportunities for us to extend it.”
