Virgin Voyages has brought back ‘Status Match’ to convert well-travelled clients to its adults-only cruise line
Status Match allows agents to help guests carry over loyalty status from over 35 different airlines, hotels, and cruise lines to join the Virgin Voyages Sailing Club.
Benefits from this are available across the company’s full roster of sailings including the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, and West Coast America.
The scheme is aimed at loyal customers, who, once verified, will receive ‘Blue Extras’ on their next eligible voyage.
This includes one complimentary bag of laundry, one speciality coffee per day, an exclusive cocktail event invite, as well as dedicated sailing club sailor services support.
Alongside customer perks, agents can also earn £10 on all bookings made during September and logged via First Mate Loot.
Select Caribbean voyages of 10 nights or more will also earn £50 per booking, 10 times the standard £5.
SJ Walker, director of sales at Virgin Voyages UK, said, “We know that Virgin Voyages is a popular choice among new cruisers and that once they travel with us, they’re likely to come back.
“It’s a great tool for First Mates to convert new customers and build long-term repeat business.”
Guests have until October 31st to submit their loyalty status from another travel programme for review. Once approved, they have until the same date to book their Virgin Voyages sailing.
