VIRGIN Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer loyalty program has set sail on its first-ever “cashless cruise” offer with sister brand Virgin Voyages (CW breaking news Fri).
The cruise for points program is being described as “one of the best Velocity redemption offers in a decade”, giving Australians the opportunity to book a Virgin sailing for 79,999 points.
It comes with free wi-fi, essential drinks, unlimited group fitness classes, entertainment, and tips.
The offer is valid for travel between 16 Dec and 05 Mar on eligible sailings departing Melbourne and Sydney.
It can be redeemed HERE via the Velocity Rewards store until midnight on 05 Oct, or until booked out.
The offer precedes the expected launch of a long-term partnership between Velocity and Virgin Voyages next year.
Representing a wonderful opportunity for Australians to experience a cruise amid the rising cost of living, Velocity Chief Executive Officer Nick Rohrlach said the program is committed to offering a great value holiday.
“We are a loyalty program that stands for incredible value and choice, and we are excited to welcome Virgin Voyages into the Velocity family with our first-ever cruise for points offer,” he said.
“We know Australians are looking for ways to drive their dollar further when booking their next holiday, and this is a fantastic opportunity for Velocity members to use their points to pay for a luxe cruise.
“Value for money is more important than ever, and we expect the cashless cruises will be redeemed fast.”
Virgin Voyages is scheduled to arrive in Australia for the first time on 04 Dec. MS
