Virgin Voyages says it is once again raising the bar for its travel advisors – affectionately known as First Mates.
The cruise line that has pleased advisors with its NCF-free approach has introduced new incentives and is bringing back enticing offers by popular demand. Virgin Voyages says it has kept its ear to the ground, listening to the advisor community and responding to the incentives that best serve their clients and partners.
“A big part of our commitment to our First Mates and Travel Advisor community includes listening to real-time feedback and bringing the right incentives to the forefront. This is especially important as we all look forward to Wave season and all of the excitement around this time of year,” said John Diorio, VP of North American Sales for Virgin Voyages.

“Not to mention, there’s never been a better time to share the joy of a Virgin Voyages experience with clients and friends – there’s so much on offer, including new Alaska itineraries, Brilliant Lady’s debut on the horizon and fresh entertainment and restaurant concepts.”
Included in these new value-added propositions are reduced single supplements for the growing solo cruiser segment; a 10% savings for pay-in-full clients; and the reintroduction of the brand’s popular Bar Tab offer. All of these perks arrive on the heels of the current Black Friday offer, which is 80% off the second Sailor (plus up to $300 Bar Tab).
Virgin Voyages says it is listening to advisor feedback and responding.
Here are the details of the new incentives and offers:
· With the rise in solo travel experiences, Virgin Voyages’ reduced single supplement allows guests to enjoy up to $3,500 off their voyage fare while taking advantage of the epic solo cruiser experience.
· When Sailors book at least 180 days in advance of their voyage and pay in full, they can enjoy an additional 10% off their voyage fare.
· Back by popular demand, Virgin Voyages has reintroduced Bar Tab in select promotional offers, an incentive highly sought after by Sailors and valued by First Mates.
In addition to these added perks, Virgin Voyages remains committed to staying NCF-free while also leading the industry with some of the highest commission rates available.
