How to Status Match Your Carnival Cruise Status to Virgin Voyages (With Bonus Perks)
If you're a loyal Carnival VIFP cruiser feeling frustrated by the recent loyalty changes, you're not alone. Many long-time cruisers are wondering if it's finally time to try something new. And the truth is: there has never been a better time to sail with Virgin Voyages.
Virgin Voyages is currently offering a generous Status Match Program that allows you to bring your existing cruise status with you when you switch. Whether you're Platinum or Diamond with Carnival, you can receive VIP perks and recognition with Virgin Voyages — without starting from scratch.
And the best part? I can take care of the entire process for you, at no extra cost to you. Virgin pays my commission, not you, and as a thank-you for letting me help with the switch, I’ll even add a little extra onboard credit just for you.
How the Status Match Works
Virgin Voyages’ Match & Sea More program is designed to welcome loyal cruisers from other lines by honoring their hard-earned status.
Exact matches are based on past cruise history and Virgin’s discretion, but Diamond-level VIFP cruisers often receive the highest level of perks.
What Carnival Cruisers Will Love About Virgin
Making the leap from Carnival to Virgin Voyages isn’t just about better loyalty perks — it's about a fresh cruise experience that respects your vacation time:
No kids. Every Virgin sailing is 18+ only.
No nickel-and-diming. Gratuities, Wi-Fi, all dining (including specialty), soda, and fitness classes are included.
No buffets or MDRs. Eat at world-class restaurants with flexible dining times.
Stylish ships. Modern, adult-focused spaces designed with comfort and vibe in mind.
Epic entertainment. From drag bingo to immersive theater and everything in between.
Relaxed vibe. No formal nights or cruise directors — just great service, music, and fun.
