Virgin Voyages to Offer First Mate Rates from US$49 Per Night

Virgin Voyages really wants you to experience its buzz-creating product. So the line has announced new ‘First Mate Rates’ for travel advisors — starting at just $49 USD per Sailor, per night. 

(Rates will be converted to CAD when you call, based on the current exchange rate.)

Sean Russo, Sales Manager Canada, Virgin Voyages.

Virgin Voyages’ Sales Manager Canada Sean Russo says these “sizzling deals” won’t last long, and encourages advisors to book now to experience what it means to sail the Virgin way.

“Whether you’re planning a quick escape or a longer getaway, there’s no better time to come aboard before we dive into WAVE season and show your Sailors what all the buzz is about,” Russo said.

To take advantage of these First Mate opportunities, you’ll need to complete Virgin Voyages’ Seacademy. To do so, simply head to FirstMates.com and click on the Training tab for more information. 

You can complete a self-paced version or join one of the line’s “Get To Gold” sessions (found in the Webinar subsection).
