Sailing with Savings

While you can always find our limited-time promotions on FirstMates.com, there are several evergreen offers for your Sailors to take advantage of anytime.

  • Always Included Luxury

    Always Included Luxury

    Once you’re on board, it’s On Us.

    Brilliant inclusions on every adults-only voyage. Perks that put you at the helm of VIP treatment. Never dimming your glow with unexplained charges. Every sailing includes essential drinks, group fitness classes, tips, WiFi, entertainment, and dining at 20+ eateries.

Keep On Selling

Selling a sailing is only the beginning of your journey to bank commission. Pre-voyage bookables earn 10%, and that includes everything from airfare and hotel stays to Shore Things and Bar Tab.

  • Bar Tab Bonus

    It pays to pre-pay.

    Bar Tab is onboard credit for Sailors to use on any and all beverages not already included in the voyage fare. Bar Tab gets your Sailors (and their friends) what they want, where and when they want it, including non-alcoholic options like specialty coffees, pressed juices and smoothies. There are no limits; not all Sailors in a cabin have to have a Bar Tab, and Sailors can buy as many $300 Bar Tabs as fits their fancy, so long as they purchase them at least 48 hours prior to sailing.

    However a Sailor purchases a Bar Tab pre-voyage, First Mates earn 10% commission on each $300 Bar Tab. Plus we’ll top off your Sailor with an extra $50 on their $300 bar tab to be enjoyed at any bar onboard or at The Beach Club at Bimini.

  • Fly and Cruise

    A bon voyage with benefits.

    When your Sailors decide to Set Sail The Virgin Way, they’re on course to depart the everyday. But often they still face the stressful decision of what flights are best for them, and that’s where Fly and Cruise jets in to streamline the situation, with advantages for everyone:

    What Fly and Cruise means for your Sailors:

    • Excellent rates on airlines they know

    • Flexibility to personalize flight plans

    • Flight protection in the event of flight disruptions

    • The guarantee that they’ll get to our ship and home again

    What Fly and Cruise means for you:

    • 24/7 support

    • Access to excellent rates on major air carriers

    • 10% commission on booked airfare

    • The ability to reassure your Sailors that even when the best-laid travel plans go awry, we’ll make alternate arrangements as needed for them to always meet the ship

  • Shore Things

    Excursions and explorations at ports and places.

    Get your Sailors booked and hooked on daydreaming about their upcoming adventures when they book early and save on select Shore Things. Pre-booking Shore Things before they sail scores them the lowest rates (which increase on board), while you earn 10% commission on each one you add — even if they book with Sailor Services or in the App. Send them to discover something completely new, or to see a different side of a destination they already love.

    All Shore Things are bookable on the Sailor App 120 days prior to sailing (135 days for RockStar and Mega RockStar Sailors) and with their First Mate. All Shore Things are subject to change due to pricing, availability, and weather conditions.

  • Hotels

    Earn 10% commission on pre and post-voyage hotel bookings.

    Streamline your Sailors’ vacation with pre or post-voyage hotel stays — with excellent rates on hand-selected, 4-star hotels in Miami, Barcelona Athens and San Juan.

    • All-in pricing. Because we’ll take care of the resort fees.

    • Only the best for Virgin Voyages guests. We guarantee room types, or upgrade to a higher category.

    • Qs before cruise. The hotels feature day-of onsite assistance to answer any of your Sailor’s pre-voyage questions.

    And every booking benefits you, too; First Mates earn 10% commission. Bookings are easily made right on FirstMates.com.

  • Sailor Loot

    Treating themselves will treat you too.

    Pre-purchasing onboard credit — available in increments of $250 — not only earns you 10% commission, but it gives your Sailors the freedom to spend on extras like Shore Things, spa treatments, premium drinks, personal training, or much-needed retail therapy.

  • Splash of Romance

    A limited-availability, premium package of dreamy surprises.

    For only $200 (valued at $350), this special package includes expedited boarding, a 3-hour Thermal Spa pass per Sailor, daily cold-pressed juice cabin drops, a complimentary Shake for Champagne experience, access to Richard’s Rooftop for a Sail Away Hour, special wristbands, and more surprises. First Mates earn 10% commission on all Splash of Romance packages booked pre-voyage.

  • A Splash For Your Bash

    Epic ways for your Sailors to celebrate with us.

    From birthday getaways and 30-year wedding anniversaries to finally celebrating the promotion they got at work — no matter the occasion, we’ve added easier ways to book, link, and get perks just for sailing and celebrating together.

    Our curated party planning package includes:

    • A bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne per cabin

    • Bottomless brunch event

    • Dinner party with curated beverages and desserts

    Lock it in for your Sailors at $250 per cabin (valued at $375) for a limited time, and earn 10% commission.

  • Ready. Set. Relax.

    Sailors can now pre-book spa reservations. Feels nice.

    What makes a day at the spa even more relaxing? Booking a treatment pre-voyage so they don’t have to worry about securing one while on board. When Sailors book a cleansing facial, stimulating acupuncture session, or any of our perfectly indulgent treatments and services at our Redemption Spa before their voyage, you’ll earn 10% commission.

    Depending on Sailors’ packages, they’ll be able to pre-book their treatments between 135 and 128 days and up to 24 hours before they set sail on Valiant Lady voyages.

  • Pre-Booked bubbles

    If you have Sailors that you already know are going to want to start popping bottles the moment they get on board, we’ve got some exciting news! Sailors can now purchase bottles of Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut before setting sail, so they can get the party started before their voyage even begins. And that’s not the only exciting news. As a First Mate, you’ll receive a 10% commission for each add-on – even if they book with Sailor Services or in the app – so you’re definitely not going to want to let these bubbles float away.

    This add-on is bookable in the Sailor App up to 48 hours before embark or with their First Mate.
