"The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them."
- British Explorer, Freya Stark
Virgin Voyages is changing cruising by including W-Fi, gratuities, essential drinks (water, sparkling water, tea, coffee, non-pressed juices, and sodas, even in cans), group fitness classes, entertainment, and all 20+ restaurants (some created by Michelin star chefs). It's no wonder Virgin Voyages has become the first cruise line to sweep all five cruisecritic cruiser's choice awards for Best Overall Cruise Line, Best Dining, Best Service, Best Cabins, and Best Value-for-Money.
ā
And if the value isn't already enough, I'm making some MyNextVirginVoyage certificates available for clients to purchase for an even better savings and sailor loot.
