Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Virgin Voyages is launching a yearlong cruise pass that will allow passengers to swap real life at home for a year at sea with travel anywhere in the world.
The adults-only cruise line pass is good for any of Virgin Voyages' ships and costs $120,000. That price covers one passenger and a guest in a Sea Terrace cabin, all the food you can eat, premium Wi-Fi for "work from sea," laundry service, priority boarding, a $100 bar tab for each itinerary and VIP nights with other annual pass holders.
"I've always been a big believer in the power of travel and adventure to spark creativity and bring clarity," Virgin Group founder Richard Branson said Tuesday in a statement. "What started as a sought after 'work from sea' concept with our Season Pass has evolved into something more special."
"Now, sailors can jump aboard any of our ships, across an endless variety of exciting destinations for an entire year. We're offering unlimited opportunities for adventure in a way that has never been done in cruising before," Branson added.
The cruises, which start in January, February, March or April, cover the Mediterranean -- with stops in Spain, France, Italy and Greece -- as well as the Caribbean, North America and Transatlantic. The annual passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Cabin availability is subject to overall voyage availability, and sailing on overlapping or impossible itineraries are not allowed," according to Virgin.
Virgin Voyages' new annual pass comes after the cruise company found success with its summer season pass, which also targeted remote workers.
The "monthlong adventure at sea is the definition of work-life balance, allowing travelers to keep up with projects and deadlines, all while exploring incredible ports across Europe and the Caribbean and enjoying the suite life aboard our Lady Ships," Virgin Group wrote in a September news release. The summer season pass costs just under $15,000 per cabin.
Virgin Voyages said its Annual Pass will become the first cruise product to accept cryptocurrency payment option, Bitcoin.
"If you're ready to swap your front yard for endless ocean views for the year, reach out to our Annual Pass Concierge," Virgin added.
