Air Canada Vacations Adds Virgin Voyages to its Cruise Portfolio

Air Canada Vacations has diversified its cruise portfolio through a new partnership with Virgin Voyages, which the tour operator describes as “the elevated, kid-free cruise brand redefining sea travel.” 

“Our collaboration with Virgin Voyages – a brand known for its innovative approach to cruising along with the trusted service of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights, enhances our cruise portfolio and offers both travel agents and customers more exciting options for their future vacations,” said ACV VP Nino Montagnese. 

Virgin Voyages does things differently.

Your clients can now choose from a wide selection of Virgin Voyages itineraries sailing to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and more, aboard a fleet recognized with numerous industry accolades. 

Virgin Voyages cruise vacations feature curated entertainment, over 20 world-class eateries with menus created by Michelin-starred chefs, stylish staterooms, and state-of-the-art health and wellness spaces. 

Virgin Voyages offers Caribbean sailings ranging from five to thirteen nights, departing from Miami and San Juan. European cruises invite guests to explore iconic cities such as Barcelona, Athens, Dubrovnik, Cannes, and Rome. Additionally, Brilliant Lady sets sail on an unforgettable journey from Los Angeles to the stunning Mexican Riviera, while departures from New York City take travellers to Bermuda and the picturesque shores of Canada and New England.
