How to Secure Virtuoso Exclusive Cruise Benefits

Many cruise companies provide Virtuoso travel advisors exclusive amenities that are not available to competitors. These amenities help provide even more value for next cruise in the form of onboard credits, special offers, speciality dining, spa treatments, and more.

You may be wondering why, but cruise lines bookings trend strongly towards travel advisor/company bookings, as opposed to being booked directly with the cruise line. And despite an increase in online bookings in other segments of the travel industry, travel advisors continue to be one the most important distribution channel for all cruise lines.

Cruise lines that offer Virtuoso guests exclusive benefits include the following companies:

  • Abercrombie & Kent Cruises, AmaWaterways, Aqua Expeditions, Atlas Ocean Voyages, Aurora Expeditions, Australis, Avalon Waterways, Azamara, Celebrity Cruises, Coral Expeditions, Crystal, Cunard Line, Explora Journeys, French Country Waterways, Holland America Line, Hurtigruten, Lindblad Expeditions, The Mooring Yacht Charters, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, Paul Gauguin Cruises, PONANT Yacht Cruises & Expeditions, Princess Cruises, Quark Expeditions, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn, SeaDream Yacht Club, Silversea, Star Clippers, Tauck River Cruising, UnCruise Adventures, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, Viking Cruises, Virgin Voyages, & Windstar Cruises

I’m not going to list all of the companies exclusive benefits here, but will provide a look at a few of them:

Celebrity Cruises

  • Virtuoso Guests will enjoy (1) complimentary specialty dinner for two when booked in a Veranda, Concierge Class or AquaClass stateroom on most 2023 voyages.

  • Virtuoso Guests will enjoy (1) complimentary specialty dinner for two PLUS (1) $75 USD shopping credit per-stateroom when booked in a Suite on most 2023 voyages.

    • Combinable with most Celebrity Cruises brand offers and Virtuoso HQ Groups

    • (Specialty Dinner Value: $45 USD per person; limit $90 USD per stateroom)

  • Virtuoso Guests will enjoy up to $150 USD shipboard credit per person; limit $300 USD per stateroom on select 2023 & 2024 voyages. (Shipboard credit amount based on destination/length of sail and cabin catergory booked.)

Princess Cruises

  • Virtuoso Guests will enjoy (1) complimentary specialty dinner for two when booked in a mini-suite or higher on all published 6+ day voyages. (Value: $39 USD per person; limit $78 USD per stateroom)

  • Virtuoso Guests will enjoy an exclusive cooking class and chef’s tasting per person on select 2023-2024 voyages.

By utilizing this information for your next cruise, I hope you can optimize the value you receive the next time you set sail. And if you’re interested in learning more about cruise offers and exclusive benefits on any of the companies listed here, be sure to send me a message.
