Relaxing in Virgin Voyages’ Redemption Spa is one of my favorite things to do on a Virgin Voyages cruise. The Thermal Spa Pass allows you to spend a few hours soaking in hot and cold pools, releasing toxins in the wet and dry saunas, treating your skin with mud masks, and trying out the spa’s unique Himalayan salt room.
But before I tried the Thermal Suite Pass on my first Virgin Voyages cruise, I was uncertain about whether it was worth it. With so many things to do on board, you want to make the best of your time and ensure you know what you’re getting yourself into when trying something new.
This Virgin Voyages travel guide will detail everything you need to know about the Thermal Suite Pass, and give you an overview of the Virgin Voyages spa prices for massages and other treatments.
This guide is accurate for the Scarlet Lady spa, Resilient Lady spa, Brilliant Lady spa, and Valiant Lady spa, since all four ships have a nearly identical design. The photos are from the Valiant Lady. I do my best to keep this guide up to date, but Virgin Voyages’ spa prices may change at any time. If you are charged a different amount on your cruise, please let me know so I can update.

Everything You Need to Know About the Virgin Voyages Thermal Spa Pass
The Thermal Spa Pass allows you to spend up to three hours in the Redemption Spa Thermal Suite. The pass costs $39 on port days and $69 on sea days. You can also get an unlimited use pass for the duration of your cruise, but the price varies depending on cruise length.
I visited the Thermal Suite first on my first sea day on an 8-night Virgin Voyages Caribbean cruise. Since it was the first day, the spa was uncrowded, which was wonderful! Then when a massive rain storm ruined my plans in the Dominican Republic, I spent the afternoon enjoying the spa. Even though it was a port day, it was a little more busy. If you want to visit the spa when its least busy, you can ask the spa staff to see the sign-up sheet. Generally, the least busy times are at the beginning of the cruise, port days, and during major events like Scarlet Night.

Himalayan Salt Room in the Virgin Voyages Spa
Redemption Spa Thermal Suite Features
There are several rooms and other features in Virgin Voyages’ Thermal Suite. Each room has darling circular windows where you can look out at the ocean. The spa rooms and features include the following:
Himalayan Salt Room: The Himalayan Salt Room was the most unique feature I saw in Redemption Spa. It’s a heated room covered in bright pink and white marble, where you can experience halotherapy (breathing in salty air). Halotherapy is known to improve breathing and help with certain health conditions including asthma and lung infections.
Wet sauna (steam room): The wet sauna is a steam room that is heated and scented with lavender and eucalyptus essential oils. The room is thick with steam and very hot. Spending time in a steam room can result in a diversity of health benefits, from clearing congestion to lowering blood pressure.
Dry sauna: The dry sauna is hot and dry, with cedar seating. It’s the largest of the various saunas and rooms, and can easily seat a few groups of people. Some of the benefits of spending time in a dry sauna include reduced inflammation and a lower risk of heart disease.
Mud room: Virgin Voyages’ Redemption Spa also features a mud room, which is essentially a sauna where you can apply a mud mask on your skin and wash it off. You can get small containers of mud from the reception to use in this room. To maximize your experience, do the mud mask at the very end of your time in the spa.

A peek into the Virgin Voyages Spa: hot plunge pool (left), pool), and cold plunge pools (back).
Hot plunge tub (hot tub): The Virgin Voyages has one small hot tub with enough room for two people. Thankfully, there are several large hot tubs on upper decks of the ship that are available for free.
Cold plunge tubs: The spa also features two small cold plunge tubs, which each fit two people. Switching back and forth between the cold plunge tubs and the sauna is thought to have significant health benefits.
Pool: Next to the three plunge tubs is a pool with lukewarm water. You can enter this pool after the hot tub to cool down.
Heated marble hammam benches: Another interesting addition to the Thermal Suite is the heated marble benches. These marble slabs are modeled after benches in traditional Turkish bathhouses. You can lay on the heated marble, though, I personally prefer to spend the majority of my time in the sauna, salt room or tubs.
