If you see much about Virgin Voyages
0:02
cruises across the internet and across
0:04
social media, you will know what
0:05
fantastic luxury experience Virgin
0:08
Voyages can provide. And it's easy to
0:10
think because it looks so fantastic and
0:12
it looks so luxurious that it's going to
0:14
cost an absolute fortune, but you'll be
0:16
surprised to know how affordable it can
0:19
actually be. And what's more, just how
0:21
good that affordable experience can be
0:24
as well. My name is David from VV
0:26
Insider and we're going to look at all
0:27
the tips, tricks, and hacks from across
0:29
VV Insider to see how you can plan your
0:32
voyage of a lifetime for incredibly less
0:36
than $100 per person per night. And I'm
0:39
going to walk you through what that
0:40
experience looks like and how that might
0:42
compare with similarly priced sailings
0:44
from other cruise lines. And spoiler
0:47
alert, I think you're going to find that
0:48
Virgin Voyages offers the best
0:50
experience for the best price. V Insider

I'm going to walk you through not only
1:18
finding the best deals and the best
1:20
offers possible before you make your
1:22
booking, but also stick with us as we
1:25
walk through all of the incredible
1:27
included luxuries that you get as part
1:29
of Virgin Voyages as standard that would
1:31
cost you an absolute fortune on other
1:34
lines. So, let's get kicked off. For
1:36
many sailors starting off on Virgin
1:38
Voyages, sometimes it all comes down to
1:41
price. And in this day and age, who can
1:44
blame someone for looking for a bargain?
1:47
When we sale, we don't spend any more
1:49
than we absolutely need to, unless of
1:52
course we're celebrating something
1:53
special, but normally we're looking for
1:56
the best price possible. And there's a
1:58
really quick and easy way to do this
2:00
with the Virgin Voyages sale and save
2:03
offers. Now, the sale and save offers is
2:06
a collection of discounts and deals that
2:08
Virgin Voyagers put out on a weekly
2:10
basis where you can find the absolute
2:13
cheapest sailings. The easiest way to
2:16
access these is to go on vbvincider.com.
2:19
We make it super easy to browse all of
2:21
the latest offers. If you go to the
2:23
website and click offers in the header,
2:25
you will see a list of articles that are
2:28
all to do with the latest offers for
2:30
Virgin Voyages. And the great thing
2:32
about this page, it doesn't just list
2:34
the sale and save offers, but it also
2:36
details any offers that you also might
2:38
be applicable for. So, for example, it's
2:41
this page where we'll let you know if
2:43
there's offers for solo sailor, offers
2:45
for those that serve in the military,
2:47
first responder discounts, for example.
2:50
And it's great to keep this page
2:51
bookmarked because it's updated
2:53
sometimes multiple times a week with
2:55
brand new offers. So, if you're looking
2:57
to sail on Virgin Voyages for less, this
2:59
is the best place to look. But for the
3:02
purposes of this video in finding the
3:04
cheapest cruise possible, we're going to
3:06
head over to the most up-to-date sale
3:08
and save offer. So, on the sale and save
3:10
offer pages, we do go through and
3:12
highlight some of the great deals that
3:14
are available there. But what we're
3:16
trying to do here is find the cheapest
3:18
thing possible. So, let's go into the
3:20
pricing. I'm going to say view eligible
3:22
offers. Let's use US dollars for these
3:24
purposes. But of course, you can book
3:26
worldwide in any currency that works for
3:29
you. One thing to mention here is that
3:31
when you use links on the Venider
3:33
website, we'll give you a little alert
3:35
to tell you that your booking can be
3:36
connected to us, which simply means that
3:38
we'll act as your travel advisor along
3:41
with our travel advisor partners. And
3:43
that way, we can give you some exclusive
3:45
perks like adree access to our website.
3:48
But if you're working with your own
3:49
travel advisor, you can of course
3:51
dismiss that if you like. But allowing
3:53
us to help you with your booking doesn't
3:55
cost you any more at all. And as you'll
3:57
see, you'll still get the best deals
3:58
possible, even if we're giving you those
4:00
exclusive perks from VV Insider. So now
4:03
I'm on the Virgin Voyages website, and
4:05
all of the Voyagers are listed from the
4:07
lowest price possible. And the prices
4:09
listed here are per person per night. So
4:12
it looks like the best available option
4:14
for me if I'm trying to save money is
4:17
this fantastic sailing on the Brilliant
4:19
Ladies inaugural season. And Brilliant
4:21
Lady is Virgin Voyagers brand new ship
4:24
that is launching in September. And it
4:26
looks like the sailing is fantastic.
4:28
It's 13 nights. It's sailing out of
4:30
Quebec in Canada. It stops off in a
4:32
couple of places in Canada. Eastport in
4:34
Maine. It visits Boston going to
4:37
Charleston in South Carolina before
4:39
reaching its final port in Miami. So
4:41
this incredible 13 night sailing is just
4:44
$79 per person per night. So let's
4:47
choose that one and see where we go. So,
4:49
in order to get the lowest price
4:51
possible, the website is showing me a
4:53
few options here. And the cheapest cabin
4:55
category is the insider category. So,
4:57
the insider rooms on Virgin Voyages are
5:00
very spacious and they're very
5:01
wellappointed. The only drawback with
5:03
the insider cabins is, you guessed it,
5:05
you don't get any window or balcony, so
5:08
you won't get any natural light in the
5:09
room. But, it's up to you if you want to
5:11
make sure that you're selling for the
5:12
cheapest price possible. Often, the
5:14
insider rooms are going to be the way to
5:16
go. Now, there's two options here. But
5:17
we can either decide to book a room in
5:19
the insider category. So I can choose
5:21
that option and I will be allocated a
5:23
cabin or an alternative route and this
5:25
is how you save the most money possible
5:27
is to choose an insider lock itin rate.
5:30
Now I'll just quickly explain what is
5:32
meant by a lock itin rate. Now this is
5:35
how you can sell for less. A lock it in
5:37
rate is something on other cruise lines
5:39
they might call a guaranteed cabin,
5:42
which basically means you're guaranteed
5:44
to be on board and the guarantee is that
5:46
you will not have anything less than the
5:48
category that you're paying for. So in
5:50
this case, you'll be on an insider
5:52
lockis in rate, which means you'll be
5:54
allocated a cabin when you get closer to
5:57
the sailing date. So up until the
5:59
sailing date, you won't necessarily know
6:01
what cabin you've been assigned. The big
6:03
drawback with the lock it in rate and
6:05
the reason why they offer it for such a
6:06
discount is that if you change your mind
6:09
or you need to cancel the sailing, you
6:11
won't get any refund. So, if you've paid
6:13
your deposit and you decide to move or
6:15
cancel your voyage, unfortunately, you
6:18
don't get that money back. And there's a
6:19
word of warning here. Do not pay any
6:22
more than the deposit unless you're
6:24
absolutely sure you're going to make
6:25
that sailing. Because if for example you
6:28
pay in full for your lock it in rate and
6:30
then you decide to cancel the entire
6:32
amount of money that you spent excluding
6:34
taxes will be non-refundable. Whereas if
6:37
you only paid for the deposit at this
6:39
point you're mitigating some of that
6:40
risk. So don't pay any more money off it
6:43
than you really need to. You're best off
6:45
waiting until the pay in full day before
6:47
you pay any more towards the voyage. Now
6:49
those are the drawbacks with the lock it
6:50
in rate. So, if you're sure that you're
6:52
able to make the sailing and you want
6:54
the best price possible, do choose the
6:56
lock itin rate. One other benefit with
6:57
the lock itin rate is that if they run
7:00
out of those cabins, so if they don't
7:02
have any insider rooms left, you
7:04
actually have a chance of being upgraded
7:06
to a better cabin type. So, for example,
7:09
in the past when we've booked a locked
7:11
in insider rate, we've ended up with a
7:13
sea terrace cabin without having to
7:15
spend any extra money whatsoever. It
7:18
simply means that they ran out of
7:19
insider cabins and had to give us a sea
7:21
terrace cabin because they were
7:23
available. So, you're in an incredible
7:25
position here on this voyage of spending
7:27
$79 per person per night potentially
7:30
ending up in a sea terrace cabin. Now,
7:33
of course, it's not a guarantee. It's
7:34
just one of the quirks of those lock it
7:36
in rates. So, if you do end up with an
7:38
insider cabin, that's perfectly
7:40
legitimate. One other thing to mention
7:42
on the lock itin rate is because you're
7:44
assigned your cabin so close to the
7:46
sailing, it can be as much as a few
7:48
hours before you're sailing, you'll get
7:49
an email to tell you which cabin you're
7:51
in. It is very difficult to move your
7:53
cabin around. So, if you do look on the
7:55
V insider cabin lookup tool, you can put
7:58
your cabin number in there and see
8:00
whether it's in a good place on the
8:01
ship. So, for example, it's close to
8:03
elevators and lifts so you can get
8:05
around more easily. Or if,
8:07
unfortunately, you've been assigned a
8:08
cabin that is in one of the areas on the
8:10
ship where you prefer not to be. So,
8:12
near noisy venues, for example. The
8:14
problem is if you've been given your
8:16
cabin allocation so close to the
8:18
sailing, it's unlikely you're going to
8:20
be able to move your cabin round to get
8:22
into one of the better areas on the
8:24
ship. So you might, for example, have
8:25
been given a cabin that is in a noisy
8:27
area, but because you've got that
8:29
discounted rate, it's more difficult for
8:31
you to move around because what you
8:32
might find here is that people that have
8:34
booked a cabin that isn't a lock it in
8:36
rate have already moved themselves
8:38
around to areas on the ship that are in
8:39
a bit more of a comfortable position. So
8:41
the choices that are left for you will
8:43
be slightly diminished. So just keep
8:45
that in mind if you're choosing a locked
8:47
in rate. So with all that being said,
8:49
let's choose this cabin. Let's choose
8:51
the lock itin rate and let's book it
8:52
that in. That's $79 per person per
8:55
night. I've chosen my cabin. I've went
8:57
through the checkout process which is
8:59
all done on virginvoyoyagers.com. So
9:01
you're not sending your credit card
9:03
information anywhere. Even if you book
9:04
through vincider, you're still checking
9:07
out on virginvoyagers.com. So
9:09
everything's secure and managed through
9:10
them. Now comes the exciting bit. The
9:13
countdown is on. Your voyage is booked.
9:15
And now you're in the planning phase.
9:18
So, what can you do planning wise to
9:20
make sure you're not spending any more
9:21
than you really need to? One thing you
9:23
can do here is have a look at your
9:25
itinerary. So, one great money-saving
9:28
tip here is to look at those ports and
9:31
look to see if there's anything free
9:32
that you can do on those port days. One
9:35
of the biggest costs for any type of
9:37
cruise can be those port excursions,
9:40
especially if you book them with the
9:41
cruise line themselves. you can find
9:44
yourself paying a huge markup for things
9:46
that actually cost a lot less if you
9:48
just organize them yourself. Now, of
9:50
course, I'm not dismissing booking shore
9:52
things directly with Virgin Voyages.
9:54
We've been on many shore things in the
9:56
past with Virgin Voyages, and they've
9:57
been great. One other positive if you
10:00
book direct with Virgin is that they
10:02
always offer that guarantee that you're
10:04
going to get back on the ship in time
10:05
because they're always going to be in
10:07
constant communication with the ship. If
10:09
you're planning to save money and just
10:11
tour the port on foot for free, you do
10:14
still need to make sure that you're
10:15
getting back to the ship on time because
10:17
you're doing something that's not
10:19
organized by the cruise line, you do run
10:21
the risk of being one of those peer
10:23
runners that you might have seen on
10:25
social media. So, for example, if you
10:27
booked a shore excursion to save money
10:29
with somebody else and the bus breaks
10:31
down and you're not able to get back to
10:33
the port on time, there is a real risk
10:35
that the ship will leave without you.
10:38
So, do bear that in mind if you're going
10:40
out and planning a free or a more
10:42
affordable shore excursion on your own.
10:44
One other thing to think about is the
10:46
only other big cost as you're planning
10:48
your voyage, and that is all to do with
10:50
the price of drinks. So, as we've
10:53
mentioned before, and as we'll mention
10:54
later on in this video when we get on
10:56
board, a lot of the things that you
10:58
would assume you'd have to pay for as
11:00
you're cruising are actually included in
11:02
the Virgin Voyages experience. But one
11:05
thing that is not included and you do
11:07
need to think about is the cost of
11:08
alcoholic drinks. So soft drinks are
11:11
included and I'm going to cover off
11:12
what's included in just a moment, but
11:14
alcoholic beverages are not and
11:16
specialtity coffees aren't either. So
11:19
here's a fantastic tip on how to save
11:21
money when you're drinking board Virgin
11:23
Voyages, and that's to plan out what
11:26
you're going to drink in advance. Now,
11:28
of course, this can be quite tricky to
11:29
do. It's very difficult to think about
11:31
how much you're going to drink before
11:32
you go off and go on a sailing. But if
11:34
you can just imagine what you might
11:36
drink on an average day, you can
11:38
actually use that information to save
11:41
money when you sail. And the way to do
11:43
that is to head over to vbvinsider.com
11:46
and use our bar tab calculator. Our bar
11:49
tab calculator is one of our most
11:51
popular tools on the website. And what
11:53
it allows you to do is plug in the
11:55
information for your voyage and give us
11:57
an idea of how much you intend to drink
12:00
on your voyage. And we can tell you
12:01
exactly how you can save money by
12:04
preurchasing your bar tab. Now, you
12:06
might be asking yourself, what is a bar
12:08
tab and how does it work? Well, on
12:10
Virgin Voyages, things work slightly
12:12
different. They don't have a traditional
12:14
drinks package that you might see on
12:16
other cruise lines. That is at least at
12:18
the time of filming this. They have been
12:20
testing out something called drink like
12:22
a VIP which does work a little bit more
12:25
like those traditional drink packages.
12:27
But as of yet they haven't released that
12:29
any wider than just a small trial
12:31
earlier this year. So for now they still
12:33
offer something called the bar tab. And
12:36
the bar tab is the name given to a
12:38
certain type of onboard credit that you
12:40
have that's simply used for drinks. That
12:42
is to say, you're not able to use your
12:44
bar tab for other purchases like buying
12:46
things in the gift store, for example.
12:48
But you can use your bar tab for
12:50
alcoholic beverages and specialtity
12:52
coffees at the bars. So, the way that
12:55
you can save money with a bar tab is
12:57
that when you buy a certain amount of
12:58
bar tab, you're then given an extra
13:01
amount for free. And this works on a
13:03
sliding scale. If you buy a huge bar
13:05
tab, they will give you an extended
13:08
amount of free credit with it. So the
13:10
more that you add, the more that you
13:12
save. The only issue with this is that
13:14
you need to understand exactly how much
13:16
you're going to spend on board to make
13:18
the most out of this. And that's exactly
13:20
where the bar tab calculator comes in.
13:23
So for our example today, we're going to
13:25
tell the barab calculator that we're on
13:27
a 13 night voyage. And because we're
13:30
trying to keep costs down, we're going
13:32
to drink very conservatively. So on this
13:34
voyage, myself and my partner are going
13:36
to share the bar tab. and let's do two
13:39
glasses of wine, two beers, and two
13:42
specialtity coffees per day between us.
13:44
Now, when you're putting in your own
13:46
details for your bar tab calculator,
13:48
you're going to have to try and figure
13:49
out exactly what you intend to drink
13:51
each day. Do consider, of course, if
13:53
you're on a voyage that includes lots of
13:55
port days, you might actually be on land
13:57
for most of the day, so you might not be
13:59
drinking as much as you would on board.
14:01
You might also be on a voyage that has
14:03
overnight stays like in Mkos or
14:05
Amsterdam where you might actually be
14:07
staying out all night. So you'll be
14:08
drinking nothing on that day. So try and
14:10
work this out with averages in mind. The
14:13
likelihood is it's never going to be
14:15
perfect, but we've heard loads of
14:17
feedback about our barab calculator and
14:19
how accurate it tends to be. So do let
14:22
us know if you've used it and whether
14:24
it's been accurate for you. Okay, so
14:26
I've popped in my details for my 13-
14:28
night voyage, and the total price it
14:30
thinks that we're going to spend on
14:31
drinks on this voyage is $585.
14:34
Now, using the bar tab calculator, it's
14:37
worked out that if I buy a $500 bar tab,
14:40
I'll actually have more than enough
14:41
credit to spend on drinks because I get
14:44
$100 extra if I buy a $500 bar tab. So,
14:48
that $600 combined value will cover all
14:50
of our drinks if we drink conservatively
14:52
like this. and it's only going to cost
14:54
me an extra $500 on top of my voyage
14:57
fair. So, if we spread the cost of that
14:59
$500 extra dollars across the length of
15:01
our 13 night voyage, it actually still
15:04
hasn't broke the $100 per night rate
15:06
that we talked about at the start of
15:08
this video. So, each night that we spend
15:10
on board per person will cost $9823
15:15
each. So, I know what you're thinking.
15:17
That's what we've spent before we've
15:18
even stepped foot on the ship. But I'm
15:20
just going to very quickly recap what
15:22
this means when you get on board and
15:24
what that sailing is going to look like
15:26
without spending another scent. So this
15:29
is where we can really start comparing
15:31
the Virgin Voyages experience with the
15:34
experience that you would get on most
15:35
other cruise lines. So first let's talk
15:38
about one of the main things that's very
15:40
different on Virgin Voyages and that's
15:42
the idea of specialtity dining. And to
15:45
put it simply on Virgin Voyages
15:48
everything is specialtity dining. There
15:50
is no main dining room. And if you've
15:52
ever sailed on one of these other cruise
15:53
lines before, the alarm bells are
15:55
probably ringing because you know how
15:57
expensive specialtity dining can be.
16:00
Sometimes specialtity dining can cost
16:02
over $100 per person per day if you
16:05
decide to dine in those restaurants. But
16:07
for our purposes, for comparison, let's
16:10
say it costs you $70 each to do
16:12
specialtity dining every night. Now,
16:14
normally you wouldn't do specialtity
16:16
dining every night, but on Virgin
16:17
Voyages, you can. and it's not going to
16:19
cost you any more. And it might sound
16:21
like marketing fluff to say that
16:23
everything is like specialtity dining.
16:25
But if you'd like to learn more about
16:26
the dining options that's available on
16:28
Virgin Voyages, VV Insider list off all
16:31
the restaurants and give you an idea of
16:33
all the food that's served there,
16:34
including all the menus. So, go take a
16:36
look for yourself. But just a couple of
16:38
highlights are the test kitchen, which
16:41
offers contemporary highlevel cuisine,
16:43
which has incredible experimental
16:45
tasting menus. This is definitely a
16:48
concept that's on other cruise lines,
16:50
but again, it normally has a huge cost
16:52
associated with it. It's included on
16:54
Virgin Voyages. One of the novelty style
16:57
restaurant that actually is a huge
16:59
amount of fun is a restaurant called Gun
17:01
Bay. And Gun Bay is a Korean barbecue,
17:04
the first Korean barbecue at sea, where
17:07
the food is actually grilled on a
17:08
barbecue right in front of you. And
17:11
there's also some incredible Korean
17:13
sides, appetizers, and desserts to go
17:15
along with the grilled food as well.
17:17
These are really fantastic
17:19
experience-led dining options. And
17:21
again, all included in that price that
17:23
you've already paid that's less than
17:25
$100 per night. Moving away from dining,
17:28
let's talk about something else you
17:29
would expect to pay for on other cruise
17:31
lines, and that is soft drinks and
17:33
water. If you're not much of a drinker
17:35
and you end up drinking soft drinks a
17:37
lot on a cruise, it can still cost you
17:39
an incredible amount of money. And
17:41
that's normally because things like
17:43
Coca-Cola products, juices, and even
17:45
water is normally charged for when you
17:47
go to a bar. Yes, often on some of the
17:49
higher, more premium cruise lines, you
17:51
would get free soft drinks available in
17:53
the buffet area, but it's a little bit
17:55
of an inconvenience to have to go to the
17:57
buffet just to get a soft drink for
17:59
free. On Virgin Voyages, soft drinks are
18:02
free everywhere. that every single bar,
18:04
every single restaurant, you're not
18:06
having to pay a scent if you want one of
18:08
those Coca-Cola drinks or something like
18:10
an orange juice or a filter coffee or
18:12
even just water that's included as part
18:14
of your cruise fair. Of course, it
18:16
depends on how many soft drinks you
18:17
would intend to drink, but let's say $40
18:20
per day for that. And then moving on to
18:22
another huge aspect of the costs of
18:24
traveling on a cruise, and that comes
18:26
down to gratuitities and tipping.
18:28
Gratuitities are often a mandatory part
18:31
of cruising with some cruise lines
18:33
charging as much as $40 per night just
18:36
to sail on board. And this of course is
18:38
to renumerate staff correctly, which we
18:40
don't necessarily disagree with.
18:42
However, Virgin Voyages have changed the
18:45
way that this works by giving
18:47
gratuitities as part of your cruise
18:49
fair. So, because gratuitities are
18:51
actually included in that price that's
18:53
under $100 per night, we don't have to
18:55
pay for that at the end of the cruise.
18:57
Now, this is an area of some debate and
18:59
people do ask, should we still tip? And
19:02
that is completely a personal choice.
19:04
The line from Virgin Voyages is that
19:06
tipping and gratuitities are included.
19:08
But if you decide that somebody's gone
19:09
that extra mile, feel free to tip. It's
19:12
entirely up to you. Moving on to another
19:14
thing that normally costs an absolute
19:16
fortune when you sail on one of these
19:18
other cruise lines, and that's to do
19:20
with Wi-Fi. Getting connected at sea can
19:23
often cost an absolute fortune. And some
19:26
cruise lines charge even $50 a day for
19:28
their most basic package. And sometimes
19:31
this has data caps as well. Well, on
19:33
Virgin Voyages, you get free unlimited
19:35
Wi-Fi to start with. And this is great
19:38
to keep connected with family and
19:39
friends and also to browse news and
19:41
website social media when you're away. A
19:44
little caveat here to say that is the
19:45
basic Wi-Fi and there are other options.
19:48
You can get premium Wi-Fi and a Wi-Fi
19:50
package that is specifically for working
19:52
at sea, which does cost more, but it
19:55
does give you a faster, more reliable
19:57
connection with premium features. And
19:59
you may need that depending on whether
20:00
you need to stay connected to work, for
20:02
example. But for our purposes, let's say
20:05
that basic Wi-Fi is fine and that's
20:07
included in our less than $100 per night
20:09
sailing. And finally, this one is very
20:11
dependent on the type of sailor that you
20:13
are, but if you decide to join those
20:15
group fitness classes, sometimes on
20:17
other cruise lines, that can be quite
20:19
expensive, as much as 20 or $30 per
20:23
class if you decide to participate in
20:25
those more premium classes. On Virgin
20:27
Voyages, there are no group fitness
20:29
classes that cost money at all. It's all
20:32
included as part of your less than $100
20:34
per night sailing. So, putting that all
20:36
together, if you were to have that
20:38
Virgin Voyages experience on a different
20:40
cruise line, that would cost you around
20:42
220 extra dollars per night while you're
20:46
sailing. Now, you don't need to be a
20:48
maths expert to know that that would
20:49
effectively triple the cost if Virgin
20:52
Voyages played by the rule book and
20:54
decided to charge for the things that
20:56
other cruise lines charge for. Now,
20:58
that's of course an incredible saving.
21:00
And also remember the incredible
21:02
entertainment that's offered on board
21:04
Virgin Voyages as well, which granted
21:06
other cruise lines don't generally
21:07
charge for entertainment, but let's not
21:09
forget the entertainment on Virgin
21:10
Voyages is world class and very
21:12
different, very special. So make sure,
21:15
of course, even if you're on one of
21:16
these very affordable sailings, you're
21:18
making the most of that incredible
21:19
entertainment and really getting
21:21
yourself out there and enjoying the
21:22
cruise. Because just because you haven't
21:24
spent a lot of money on it, doesn't mean
21:26
that you can't get the full experience.
21:27
And it's that full experience why we
21:30
keep coming back time and time again to
21:32
Virgin Voyages. And it's what inspired
21:34
us to set up VV inside it to tell
21:36
everyone about the fantastic experience
21:38
that Virgin Voyages offer. We put
21:41
together guides like this and also news
21:43
and updates from across the Virgin
21:45
Voyages fleet. If you'd like to support
21:47
the work that we do here at VV Insider,
21:50
liking this video and subscribing is a
21:52
fantastic way to do that. Now, getting
21:54
one of these really affordable sailings
21:55
is a really good way to start on Virgin
21:58
Voyages and start learning what this
22:00
experience is all about. But there are,
22:02
of course, a huge amount of ways that
22:04
you can really elevate the experience
22:05
and inject your experience with a little
22:07
bit of extra luxury for less. And that's
22:10
exactly what our next video in a couple
22:11
of weeks time is going to tell you all
22:13
about. So, how to take that standard
22:15
sailor experience and add on these
22:18
layers of luxury for the best price
22:20
possible, including how to get upgraded
22:23
to the rockstar sweet level for the
22:25
least amount of money possible. So, make
22:28
sure you're subscribed for that because
22:29
over the years of sailing with Virgin
22:31
Voyages, we have a lot of tips and
22:33
tricks in order to get that luxury
22:35
experience for less. So, do follow
22:36
along. Now, most people planning their
22:38
Virgin voyages are not going to be
22:40
seeking the absolute cheapest option,
22:42
nor are they going to be asking for the
22:43
most expensive option, but actually
22:45
they're going to be finding the voyage
22:47
that is perfectly right for them. And
22:49
that is where we'd really like to help.
22:51
So, the idea of vvincider.com is to put
22:54
that power back into your hands as a
22:56
sailor. Sometimes working with a
22:58
traditional travel advisor means that
23:00
you're waiting for emails to get back to
23:02
you or phone calls to be answered. But
23:04
with VB Insider, all of the information
23:06
is there at your fingertips. And if
23:08
you're kind enough to trust your booking
23:10
with us, you'll actually get access to
23:12
vbinsider.com
23:14
with no ads whatsoever. So you can plan
23:17
your perfect voyage without
23:18
interruptions. But also, you can enter
23:21
our Red Diamond Club, which is an
23:23
exclusive club designed for those that
23:25
have trusted their Virgin Voyages
23:27
booking with VV Insider. It also comes
23:30
with its own loyalty scheme as well. So,
23:32
our loyalty scheme here at VV Insider
23:34
actually sits on top of the Virgin
23:36
Voyages loyalty scheme as well. So,
23:39
you'll be able to make sure that each
23:40
Voyage you book not only contributes to
23:43
your Virgin Voyages loyalty status, but
23:45
your VV Insider Red Diamond Club status
23:47
as well. We've got tons more information
23:50
about that and also a breakdown of all
23:52
the voyages on offer at
23:54
vvincider.com/book.
23:56
So you can hop on there and have a
23:58
browse and book directly or you can send
24:01
us an inquiry and we'll be in touch. We
24:03
can't wait to personally help you out
24:04
with your voyage plans. Let us know when
24:07
you'd like to sail and where to and
24:09
we'll find the perfect voyage just for
24:11
you at a price point that works for you
24:13
as well. So, thank you so much for
24:15
listening and until next time, happy
24:17
sailing.
