Virgin Voyages’ summer season may be underway, but there have still been several meaningful updates across the fleet. In this week’s VV Insider update, we cover two of the biggest developments sailors should know about right now: growing speculation around Virgin Voyages’ long-term Australia plans and a major change to how dining reservations may work before sailing. We also look at Virgin Red point redemptions, the latest Sail and Save pricing, new Sailor Loot offers, and fresh Valiant Lady 2.0 resources.
