Virgin Voyages is offering two webinars this month — one designed specifically for you as a ‘First Mate,’ and another you can share directly with your clients – ‘Sailors” — as part of your WAVE season strategy.
“I strongly encourage you to attend the First Mate webinar and to share the Sailor Night Open House with your clients to help drive bookings during this key WAVE period,” said Sean Russo, newly promoted to Director of Sales, Canada.
