For advisors who&#8217;ve been looking for a fresh angle on a ship their clients already love, the timing is right.<\/p>\n<p>From the Mediterranean this summer to San Juan this fall, Valiant Lady returns with more ways to eat, drink, gather, move and stay out later than ever before. All 1,300+ Crew completed a &#8220;Virgin Way&#8221; culture booster, and the result is a ship that feels more connected, more social and more alive. Returning clients will notice the difference right away. First-timers will understand immediately what makes Virgin Voyages feel so different once they&#8217;re onboard.<\/p>\n<p>Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages, observed that: \u201cValiant Lady was already one of the most compelling ships at sea, but we kept asking ourselves how to make her even more worth coming back for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Saverimuttu continued: \u201cThe best transformations don&#8217;t come from smooth sailing but from listening, pushing further and creating something truly special. From Ariya to The Manor to a completely reimagined lineup of Happenings, Valiant Lady returns with a new energy our Sailors will feel immediately. Every one of our 1,300+ Crew has been through The Virgin Way, and that reignited culture is the linchpin to the service Sailors keep coming back for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Virgin Voyages was built with travel advisors as true partners, and that philosophy shows up in how the brand operates. The commitment is Brilliant For You &#8212; an advisor program designed so that First Mates have every reason to keep choosing Virgin Voyages. That means 16% commissions with no non-commissionable fees, so more of every booking goes where it belongs. It means exclusive access to ship events and tours, so advisors can speak to the experience from personal knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>And it means Seacademy for self-paced product training and Seaciety, a members-only space with content, tools and a community of advisors who sell Virgin Voyages because they believe in it. A reimagined Valiant Lady &#8212; with a new restaurant, refreshed spaces and two strong seasons ahead &#8212; is exactly the kind of news worth picking up the phone for.<\/p>\n<p>Sail on over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.FirstMates.com\">www.FirstMates.com<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Virgin Voyages\u2019 Valiant Lady is back from dry dock, giving First Mates a compelling new reason to call their clients.
