Conclusion
A reader noted earlier that they thought that this is an excellent way to redeem Virgin Red/Virgin Atlantic points/miles, and I have to say that I do agree, looking at the pricing.
It is evident that Virgin Voyages is offloading last-minute availability for Virgin Red members that otherwise would go unsold or need to be heavily discounted.
Do you have experience using Virgin Red/Flying Club points for these Virgin Voyages, and what is your verdict on their cruising product?
