If you haven’t already noticed – Sir Richard Branson has been in town, with Virgin Voyages’ cco, Nirmal Saverimuttu, to spread the word about Virgin Voyages – with some good news for agents who register for FirstMates.com!
Agents can find support, and learn about and transact and engage with all things Virgin Voyages, at FirstMates.com. Once registered, travel professionals will find in-depth product and experience breakdowns, an array of marketing and sales tools to digitally download (keeping our sustainability promise), as well as access to join the First Mates SeaCiety – an exclusive learning community featuring original content and contests.
Virgin Voyages has also thrown non-commissionable fares (NCFs) overboard, all while committing to paying First Mates commission on the total invoice – even taxes and fees.
“On board a ship, a First Mate is the Captain’s most trusted confidant and right hand, which is how Virgin Voyages sees travel partners, because their input and guidance has been critical to the development of our sales strategy, policies and onboard experiences,” Virgin Voyages’ CCO, Nirmal Saverimuttu said.
At Tuesday night’s Sydney launch event, Virgin Voyages announced that it is officially open for business with travel partners in Australia, transacting in AUD.
Mr Saverimuttu said the business is excited to be selling to travel partners in Australia.
“The Virgin brand has always resonated strongly with Aussies, who have historically appreciated a challenger mentality. Couple this with Australians’ love to get out there and see the world – in particular cruise the Seven Seas – and we are confident we are offering our First Mates an irresistible experience to sell to Future Sailors.”
