Transfer Your Virgin Voyages Booking

How to Transfer Your Virgin Voyages Booking to a UK First Mate (and Why You Should)

You Booked. But Did You Really Unlock Everything?

You did it. You booked your Virgin Voyages cruise. That sweet confirmation email landed in your inbox. The countdown began.

Maybe you chose a Scarlet Lady sailing out of Barcelona, planned to see the Greek Isles on Resilient Lady, or lined up a transatlantic crossing that whispers adventure with every wave.

Your cabin is secured. Your holiday is on the horizon. Life is good.

But here’s the question many sailors don’t ask until later:

Who’s actually going to help you make the most of it?

Virgin Voyages is Not Like Other Cruise Lines.

It isn’t beige buffets and rigid schedules.

It’s dining experiences that rival high-end restaurants.

Shore Things that feel authentic instead of packaged, and a vibe onboard that lets you set your own pace.

If you want to party until sunrise on Scarlet Night, you can.

If you’d rather enjoy a meal and glass of wine at The Wake before an early night, you can.

Virgin Voyages calls it casual luxury for all adults and that means the voyage can be whatever you want it to be.

That’s Where a First Mate Comes In.

A First Mate is Virgin Voyages’ name for their trusted travel advisors. The ones who know how to turn a booking into an experience.

At Red Wave Travel, we’re Gold Tier First Mates in the UK. That means Virgin Voyages recognises us for our expertise and the hundreds of sailors we've helped.

We’ve sailed all the ships.

We've tried the Shore Things.

We've booked hundreds of cabins.

We've clinked more glasses than we care to admit at On the Rocks.

And here’s the secret most sailors don’t realise.

If you booked direct with Virgin Voyages and you haven’t paid in full, you can transfer your booking to Red Wave Travel at no cost.

Same fare
Same cabin
Same perks

But instead of going it alone, you sail with expert support, insider knowledge, and a team that makes sure your voyage feels like it was designed just for you.

Why Transfer Your Booking?

Exclusive bar tab offers – we often run $100 bar tab promos and referral rewards.
Dining hacks – we’ll help you snag Test Kitchen, Gunbae, Extra Virgin or The Wake.
Shore Things advice – instead of scrolling through dozens of excursions, we’ll point you to the gems.
Group & hosted perks – on select sailings, we host dinners and casual events for our Sailor Society, so you’ll always have friendly faces onboard.
Stress-free admin – name changes, linked bookings, payments, MNVV credits – we handle the boring stuff.

The cost? Zero.
The value? A better voyage.

Who Can Transfer Their Booking?

You can transfer to Red Wave Travel if:

You booked directly with Virgin Voyages (not through another agent).
You have not paid in full yet (deposit or part-payment is fine).
You are the lead sailor on the booking.
You’re inside Virgin’s transfer window (usually 30 days from booking).

How the Transfer Works
(3 Simple Steps)

Step 1 – Share your details with us

Fill in our Transfer Request Form so we can check your booking and tell you what extra bar tab or sailor loot you qualify for.

Step 2 – Ask Virgin Voyages to transfer

Open Virgin Voyages Live Chat and paste this:

“I’d like to transfer my booking to Red Wave Travel – agency ID 41807, agent ID 199494.”

Approval is normally instant.

Step 3 – Enjoy the perks

Your price and cabin stay the same – but now you’ve unlocked extra value and the support of a UK Gold Tier First Mate.

Is transferring right for you?

Not every sailor needs to transfer. But if you see yourself in any of these, then shifting your booking to Red Wave Travel will make your voyage smoother, richer, and more fun.

The overwhelmed sailor – You booked direct but now feel swamped by dining choices, Shore Things, and figuring out bar tab promos.
The value-seeker – You love a deal and don’t want to miss out on sailor loot, bar tab bonuses, or stacked perks.
The celebrator – Birthdays, honeymoons, anniversaries… you want the details handled so you can enjoy the big moments.
The solo or first-timer – You want guidance and maybe a community to plug into, instead of feeling adrift.
The international sailor – You booked outside the UK and need multi-currency support in USD, AUD, NZD, CAD, EUR, or GBP.

If that sounds like you, then yes — transferring is the smartest move you can make.
