While there are poker tournaments happening all year round all over the globe, an opportunity to play in a major first class tournament series on a cruise ship doesn’t come along that often. This fact, in addition to the $1,000,000 guaranteed Main Event, ensures that the upcoming WPT Voyage will be one of the most unique and exciting poker events of 2024.
The luxury cruise will set sail on on the Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady on March 31 out of Miami and offers an entire week filled with great poker action and other forms of entertainment designed to help you relax and enjoy your time onboard, including a host of activities with WPT ambassadors, like pickleball with Vince Van Patten, golf with Phil Ivey and Matt Savage, and tennis with Tony Dunst.
The World Poker Tour is quite literally doing a “full ship takeover”, and wants as many people as possible to join them on this adventure. There are many opportunities to help you book a trip at a big discount or win your ticket aboard by playing poker online. If the idea of playing poker on open seas and partying in the Caribbean excites you, keep on reading.
Take Advantage of the Valentine’s Flash Sale
Between today and February 15, you can get a big 25% discount on select cabins. If you were trying to think of a perfect Valentine’s Day gift and couldn’t come up with anything, this might be a great idea.
Even if your significant other isn’t a poker player, they’ll have plenty of fun as tournaments are just a part of the experience. There is plenty of free entertainment available onboard, such as spas, nightclubs, karaoke bars, trivia nights, and much more.

While it’s dubbed a “Valentine’s Day” sale, and you need to use the promo code ‘CUPID’ to pick up the discount, there is nothing in terms and conditions preventing you from just booking the trip for yourself. These cruises can also be a great place to meet someone new, find your lucky Valentine, and start a new chapter in your life, so why not give it a go?
Check Out WPT Voyage Satellites at WPT Global
If you want to try and punch your ticket to the WPT Voyage without paying too much money out of your pocket, WPT Global is running satellite tournaments around the clock, and you can start your journey towards passage for as low as $5.
There are a few hurdles to overcome to go through if you start at the lowest level — namely lots of other players just as hungry to win — but if you’re successful, then at the end of your journey there is a $12,400 WPT Voyage Passport waiting for you, which includes:
- Cruise costs for two people ($4,000 value)
- $5,000 entry into the $1,000,000 GTD WPT Main Event
- $1,100 WPT Prime entry ($500,000 GTD)
- $2,300 in pocket money to cover your expenses prior to and during the cruise

There is still plenty of time, so if you start now, you’ll give yourself a good chance to claim one of those coveted Passports and enjoy the poker trip of a lifetime, with a chance to etch your name on the WPT’s coveted Mike Sexton Trophy.
Note that WPT Voyage Passports don’t have a cash alternative, so make sure you’ll be able to clear your schedule if you do end up winning one. In the event something unexpected pops up, there is a possibility of transferring the Passport to someone else, but this isn’t the experience you want to miss if you can help it.
ClubWPT $12,000 WPT Voyage Diamond Challenge
If you live in the United States, you don’t have access to WPT Global, but you can still win your Passport online at ClubWPT.
Throughout February, ClubWPT offers plenty of opportunities for all Diamond members to compete in a series of online satellites, culminating in a final event that will award two $6,000 WPT Voyage packages.
The final event will take place on February 25, and two winners will walk away with packages worth $6,000 that include:
- Cruise costs for two ($3,800 value)
- Buy-in for the $500,000 GTD WPT Prime ($1,100)
- $1,000 in cash for travel and other expenses
- A dedicated VIP host
- A chance to meet WPT Talent
Feeder events for the main satellites run several times a week, and each of them awards between 20–40 seats, so getting your shot at the Passport shouldn’t be too hard.

A One-of-a-Kind Poker Experience? We’re There!
The 2024 WPT Voyage represents a completely different and unique experience that many players, even those who have been around for a while, haven’t had a chance to try. What you can expect is a fun blend of poker and entertainment in the middle of the sea, so it’s much more than just a poker tournament; it’s an experience you’ll remember for life!
Cardplayer Lifestyle founder Robbie Strazynski will be onboard as well, capturing those experiences firsthand and sharing them with our readers. You might also find him at the felt on occasion, likely splashing around in a friendly low-stakes mixed game or trying his hand at the $660 HEROS tournament. 🙂
With plenty of time to make your arrangements and either secure your cabin at a big discount with the Valentine’s Day sale or win your way onboard via WPT Global or ClubWPT, it’s really hard to come up with a reason why you shouldn’t give it a go.
