Have you ever wanted to experience what life was like onboard a Virgin Voyages ship?
If so, the line is giving agents the chance to win a cruise in a Sea Terrace cabin as part of its First Mate Appreciation Month giveaway programme.
The line is also offering £15 on each booking made in July and logged on FirstMateLoot.co.uk, as well as the chance to win £500 in a draw at the beginning of August.
With a range of kid-free itineraries to choose from, like a roundtrip sailing through the Caribbean from Miami to San Juan, Samaná, and Bimini onboard Resilient Lady, you’ll be lounging in the warm sun rays with a cocktail in hand in no time. Or, trek through a rainforest and wander city streets to get a feel of the culture at each destination.
Back onboard, you’ll be able to tuck into award winning Michelin-star cuisine all day and into the night. Pink Agave, a Mexican style restaurant, has the largest selection of tequila and mezcal at sea, offering a perfect pairing no matter what you order.
Let the rich aroma of mouth-watering pastas and antipasti from the Italian dining option, Extra Virgin, hit your senses. Korean BBQ is also available at Gunbae, where you can cook your own meal to perfection. The restaurant also offers a complimentary shot of soju with each meal.
After dinner, watch stellar performances from the entertainment cast on board, from Broadway acts to magic shows. The casino on board also offers a chance to give Lady Luck a spin as you sip on a Manhattan on the rocks.
Then, unwind in your Sea Terrace cabin, with sweeping ocean views available from your balcony. Rock in your terrace hammock or catch up on your favourite shows on the large flatscreen TV. With 185-225 square feet, there’s plenty of room for you and your guest.
Virgin also includes WiFi, a soda and water package, gratuities, all dining, fitness classes, and entertainment in every booking, leaving little to worry about on your well-deserved holiday.
To be entered, First Mates [agents] just need to like and comment on the weekly tile, “Get Me On The Ship”, found on their UK-dedicated First Mates Facebook group The Bridge.
If that wasn’t enough, all July, Virgin is offering first mates £15 for each booking made in July and logged on firstmateloot.co.uk.
First Mates will also be entered into the July Jackpot drawing, with the chance of earning £500/€500. One booking equates to one entry, so the more booked, the more chances to win. Ten first mates will be selected and announced the week of 4 August 2025.
