Virgin Voyages has opened a new resident-rate option for Texas travelers. On eligible sailings, the TXRATE access key can reduce the base voyage fare by up to 15%.
The discount is inventory-controlled, so it may not appear on every date, ship, cabin, or fare choice. The useful comparison is the complete checkout total after TXRATE is applied, not the advertised percentage alone.
Update: Virgin has now published the full departure list. See all 59 TXRATE sailings with the exact discount and direct First Mate booking link for each date.
What the Texas resident rate includes
Eligible Texas residents may see savings of 5%, 10%, or 15% depending on the sailing and available inventory. TXRATE may also work alongside select public promotions, but the final result and fare rules can vary.
Before paying, compare the resident-rate total with Virgin's current public price and confirm which fare conditions apply to the booking.
