awhcruiser Posted November 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Wonder if VV will do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funship freddy Posted November 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I don’t see them needing to. The Virgin name is well known and respected. MSC is not well known in the US. The status match doesn’t really do much. Like most of the loyalty programs that have been diluted. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted November 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Good question! My initial thought would be: yes, there will be a loyalty program, in some form, on Virgin Voyages. My only guidepost on this one is Virgin Air. Sir Richard really did shake up air travel, as we knew it. But, some things -- like the frequent flier program -- remained pretty much industry standard. Although frequent cruiser clubs vary widely in their structure and rewards, they are ubiquitous within the mainstream cruise lines. Can't see the advantage to Virgin, in not going with the status quo,on that one. LOL -- We really do have a lot of things to speculate about, between now and when booking opens -- don't we?:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted June 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I wonder if status with Virgin Atlantic will apply. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinMaterial Posted July 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I hope they do NOT do the status match program. Loyalty deserves its rewards from the ground up. Virgin is a name that has been in the US before with Virgin Records, Virgin America (now gone). I can imagine this ship commanding a higher price because of it's all adult and unique design elements. Those who sail on her frequently should be rewarded with working their way up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceania seems to talking perks away from their loyal customers so this might be a good time to get some of them. I am sure they will do what they think is right for them. We will will sail either way but an extra perk or two would be a nice way to begin. :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ziggyuk Posted February 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2019 He did an interview and says there will be a cross company loyalty covering trains, planes, ships etc: Quote: "“I don’t think we’ve done it very well at Virgin,” Branson admitted of Virgin Group during the press conference. “We are setting up something called Virgin Red, which will pull the various Virgin companies together.” And that means one day soon — potentially this year — you’ll be able to collect points from your Virgin Atlantic flights, your Virgin Voyages sailings and maybe even your travels to space on Virgin Galactic." https://thepointsguy.com/news/new-things-we-just-learned-about-virgin-voyages/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't yet where we can travel enough to really make an impact as we don't choose just cruise vacations but building both cruise and air may be of interest!
