What Makes Virgin Voyages Different!

There is much to say about Virgin Voyages and what is special about Virgin Voyages. And of the many, is a unique difference that comes with their ‘Virgin Voyages Sailing Club’ loyalty program. There’s a twist to this one – a great twist too.

If you’ve racked up loyalty with some other major cruise liners I think your ears will prick up with this bit of Virgin Voyages news about their ‘Match and Sea More Program’.  They’re sure to ruffle some feathers with other cruise companies with this one.  It’s a very direct attempt to bring across the hard-core loyal cruise fans of their competitors.  I don’t think it’s too cheeky – just makes sense for a new cruise company to fast track their loyal following. 

In their own words – about their Match & Sea Program;

we're inviting Sailors enrolled in other select rewards programs to come aboard our lady ships and we'll match your current loyalty status.

Very nice I think!  And here’s the snapshot of what Virgin Voyages will match. 

She’s the new kid (or should I say ‘adult’) on the block - because, this is another of the many things that make Virgin Voyages different, and it’s a big one – it’s Adults Only cruising.  I am saving up the Adult Only cruising experience for the next blog.

I have full confidence spruiking her deals, promises and benefits. Virgin Voyages like to do things differently, and they deliver on their promise.  I was lucky to experience Valiant Lady on a Virgin Voyages cruise in September this year with a stunning sailing out of Barcelona to other Mediterranean Ports. There was nothing I did not like, or did not enjoy. She was spot on with delivering her promise of doing things differently.
 

We’ve seen an amazing increase of cruise options out of Australia in the last decade. As an Australian travel company for solo travellers most of our cruise groups leave from Australia, so this addition coming later in 2023 will be another plus.

I think Virgin Voyages will rock the shores once they reach their home port for the season in Melbourne next year. We’re excited about extending our cruise group line up with Virgin Voyages starting with departures later next year onboard Resilient Lady.
