Virtuoso Exclusive Cruise Benefits

Issue #35-23 features a look at Virtuoso Cruise Benefits in the form of onboard credits, special offers, speciality dining, spa treatments, and more.

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:
