Virgin Voyages to reward top agents with complimentary cruise

Virgin Voyages has confirmed that it will invite the top 100 North American "First Mates" with the most bookings between 1 November 2021 and 31 October 2022, to come aboard for a complimentary cruise in January.

The First Mate Spectacular Soiree and the first-ever Golden Ink Awards will be held during the get-together cruise for its travel agents. The Soiree will include a cocktail party, exclusive cabin drops, educational opportunities and the awards will recognise the top agents in a variety of categories.

Virgin Voyages vice president of North American sales John Diorio said: "Our First Mates have always been in our corner, so we wanted to find a way to celebrate their commitment to this incredible brand. The Golden Ink Awards are one of the only advisor-focused awards in the cruising industry. It's so important that we take the time to show First Mates our appreciation and to treat them to the same incredible experience that their clients have loved."

The four-night cruise aboard the Valiant Lady will depart from Miami on 4 January 2023 and will take guests to Key West and Bimini, as well as a stop at Virgin Voyages' Beach Club. Each First Mate participant will be invited to bring a guest to share the experience on a sea terrace cabin and will receive $200 in onboard credit. There will also be representatives from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) onboard.

With a deadline of 31 October 2022, the company has not yet finalised its top 100 list, so agents still have time to book their clients and earn a spot on the coveted list.
