Ahead of Wave Season, Virgin Voyages is kicking off yet another outreach program to travel advisors. 

The cruise line, which is already offering commissions on an all-inclusive fare, is giving advisors who are members of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) an extra $100 on each booking made through the end of the year as part of its #RaiseYourSales promo. 

Each booking made through Dec. 31 gets ASTA advisors a bonus. 

Going forward, Virgin will continue to cater to its travel advisor partners with 16% commission, earnings on all pre-voyage sales, and no NCFs.

The brand most recently announced that any future sailings booked by guests onboard a cruise will be credited to their advisor’s First Mates account. And, should sailings again be disturbed or a guest cancels, 100% of commission on the original fare paid will be protected.
