Virgin Voyages has announced a fabulous new programme called Shipload of Love with the most exciting part is that they are giving away 2,021 cruises on their new and very different cruise ship Scarlet Lady.
Virgin says that this new programme has been created to pay tribute to “those who have impacted our lives in a meaningful way,” with nominations set to open soon for those that may be deserving of a free trip.
Entrants will be asked to submit a short video on the Shipload of Love website, sharing their personal nomination and demonstrating why their nominee should sail on the Shipload of Love, with Virgin opening up the first 1,000 nominations this Sunday, February 14.
Shipload of Love will formally launch on Valentine’s Day, which also coincides with the one-year anniversary of the delivery of the brand’s first ship, the Scarlet Lady, which Virign Voyages had to pause, with service said to be starting in May.
Virign Voyages says that “No good deed is too small, and no individual is to be overlooked,” adding, “Love and beauty exist in the eye of the beholder, including our unsung heroes, who have shown us that their embrace makes the world a better place” and “To honour the personal heroes that exist in our lives in a multitude of ways, Virgin Voyages is giving away a real Shipload of Love, starting with an open call to nominate a person who has inspired you, cared for you and helped you to navigate this past year for the vacation of a lifetime.”
Submissions will be accepted until March 16, 2021 and in addition to submitting a video on the Virgin Voyages website, participants are also encouraged to share the love across their social channels.
Virgin said it will soon have news on its third newbuild unveiling her name and new itineraries in 2021.
