What Virgin Voyages Is Saying
SJ Walker, Virgin Voyages’ UK Director of Sales, said: “Wave is all about energy, and we wanted to give our First Mates something that feels genuinely rewarding from day one. Bringing back ‘Bring on Bimini’ is our way of saying thank you for the passion, belief and hard work they bring to Virgin Voyages every single day. Adding six times more rewards means every booking really matters. With so much already included for Sailors, from dining and Wi-Fi to group fitness, our First Mates have an easy, confident story to tell. When Sailors win, our First Mates should feel that win, too.”
