What
Travel advisors can now earn commission of up to 16% on cruises booked with Virgin Voyages, which will sail its maiden cruise in April 2020.
Why It Matters
To incentivize and show support for its agent partners, Virgin is offering a 3% bonus on new sailings booked through the end of 2020, as well as an additional 3% for cruises that take place in April or May. Its standard commission was 10%. Virgin is also one of the few major lines to eliminate non-commissionable fares.
