Virgin Voyages is rejecting V-Day expectations with a playful new ‘Valentine’s Breakup Line’ campaign, inviting travellers to ditch what’s no longer serving them and sail into a better situation(ship).
Breaking up is hard to do – unless Virgin Voyages does it for you. The adults-only cruise line has launched the Virgin Voyages Valentine’s Breakup Line, giving callers permission to vent, and move on.
From situationships to cruising with kids instead of adult-only time or unmet Valentine’s expectations, the hotline is designed for breaking up with whatever is wasting your time.
Hello? Virgin Voyages Valentine’s Breakup Line here
The Virgin Voyages Valentine’s Breakup Line is live from 3 to 28 March 2026 and operates as an old-school answering machine, voiced by pop culture commentator Chris Burns (aka @PhatCarrieBradshaw), inviting callers to leave a message breaking up with whatever no longer serves them.
Call the Virgin Voyages Valentine’s Breakup Line on 754-237-7812, wait for the beep and say “goodbye”.
With permission, selected messages may feature on Virgin Voyages’ social channels as part of the brand’s ‘Get Into a Better Situation(ship)’ Valentine’s campaign, while Burns may even follow up with best-friend energy for a lucky few.
Specifically, Virgin Voyages is encouraging everyone to break up with loyalty programs that give nothing back in return.
Through Enhanced Status Match, Virgin Voyages allows travellers to bring their existing loyalty status from more than 35 cruise lines, hotels or airlines and immediately enjoy better benefits.
While the Virgin Voyages Valentine’s Breakup Line is a playful promotion, Virgin Voyages VP of Marketing & Digital Innovation Billy Bohan Chinique said: “At its core, this is about realising you don’t have to settle – not in love, not in travel, not in how you’re treated. The Breakup Line is a release valve. A safe space. And a reminder that here is a better situation(ship).”
