Virgin Voyages Launches- The New Era of Luxury Cruising

Posted on Mon, Mar 11 2019 1:11 pm by TravelPerks

The cruising industry has been upended this month with the
launch of Virgin Voyages. Luxury
cruisers now have more options than ever before with the Scarlet Lady�s debut.
Virgin has plans to create three more ships in the next few years, and if the hype over this new ship is any indication, their next ships will be just as enthusiastically received.

Virgin Group is the brainchild of British entrepreneurs Sir Richard Branson and Nik Powell. They are known for their hip brands; most notably Virgin Mobile (telecommunications), Virgin Atlantic (air travel), and Virgin Radio (entertainment). It is no surprise that their entrance into the cruise industry has disrupted the norm.

The Scarlet Lady is a mid-size ship and is anything but ordinary. First, it is adults-only, and while this isn�t a brand-new concept, Virgin is really making it a big part of their focus. Another big difference is their all-inclusive package. Most ocean liners are not all-inclusive and have a reputation of nickel and diming guests. Virgin has made it very clear that it won�t be happening to their �sailors�. Oh and there�s that, they call their guests �sailors�. It�s truly a hip new ship for those swanky cruisers who are ready to try something new.

To learn more about this incredible new ship, or to find out how you can get onboard, give us a call.

Once In A Lifetime Trip

I was talking about TravelPerks during our state presentation, and a member commented that they had booked cruises through TravelPerks and had a fabulous experience! They both said that you guys were super easy to work with and explained everything well and they felt cared for. It's not often we get members interrupting a presentation to put it out there that they had a great experience!

Booking a Vacation is FUN!

"In today�s environment, booking vacations is hard. Why? There are a million and one websites out there that all have information on them. You can look at peer reviews until you are blue in the face. Is this ship really that bad? Is it the best thing ever? Is the resort awesome? Was it an isolated incident? Who knows. And sorting through all of them and figuring out what is real and what is somebody making a mountain out of a molehill takes time.

Which is where Theresa comes in. We love working with her for our vacations. It generally involves a quick phone call giving her a budget and the vibe we are looking for. And then go on an awesome vacation. No pecking through reviews and pricing that should be written in hieroglyphics. Just straight-up advice and no-nonsense planning.

Prior to using Theresa�s team, I would spend hours planning and routing and reading. Now? I pick the phone up or I email the awesome team and they take care of me and we get to enjoy our vacation. If you are booking a large group or an intimate vacation, I highly recommend Theresa and her team. Awesome to do business with and they make vacations FUN!"

Assistance every step of the way.

"Although I'm in Florida, Michael Teague assisted us every step of the way. From the beginning of the planning, through the coordinating with family members, getting excursions to fit different family members and even last minute changes to get the best out of this vacation, Michael has been key to us enjoying an amazing family (12) vacation. I will definitely seek him out again!"
