The public will soon be able to nominate “unsung heroes” who will then be entered into a prize draw to try and win a place on a sailing with Virgin Voyages.
Virgin Voyages has released details about “The Shipload of Love” competition which is scheduled to run for a year, with 2,021 places on board Scarlet Lady to be given away.
To enter a nominee, members of the public will simply need to upload a short video on the Virgin Voyages website. Travel agents – or, ‘first mates’ as the cruise line calls them – are encouraged to get involved by nominating the unsung heroes they know.
The competition begins on Valentine’s Day, 14th February 2021. Until 16th March 2021, the cruise line will accept the first 1,000 nominations.
Virgin Voyages said: “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.
“This initiative is meant to pay tribute to those who have impacted our lives in a meaningful way. No good deed is too small, and no individual is to be overlooked.
“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.”
During its inaugural season later this year, Scarlet Lady is scheduled to offer various Caribbean itineraries. Virgin Voyages is yet to name its third ship and provide details of its debut programme. Valiant Lady, Virgin Voyages’ second vessel is due to launch in November 2021.
