Get In Quick To Sail With Virgin Voyages For Just 79,999 Velocity Points

Virgin Voyages, one of the trendiest adults-only cruise lines, is bringing one of its superyacht-inspired ships to Australia for the first time in December 2023. For a limited time, you can set your sights on a thrilling voyage Down Under thanks to Velocity Frequent Flyer.

After the group brought wonderful to flying, the Virgin flair will get its sea legs. A slice of nautical luxury in a Sea Terrace room can be yours for a mere 79,999 Velocity Points. You’ll need to get in fast though, as these ‘reward rooms’ are in limited supply, with just 1,000 cabins available.

Redeeming a Virgin Voyages cruise can unlock exceptional value from your Velocity Points. A single credit card sign-up could be enough to redeem a journey in a cabin that sells for up to AU$3,450 – a tempting deal in our books.

A Sea View Cabin aboard one of the eligible cruises listed above are normally priced between AU$1,600 and AU$3450, depending on your selected journey and dates.
