If you can work from home, you can work from a ship.
That’s the theory behind Virgin Voyages’ newest promotion, called the Scarlet Summer Season Pass. The cruise line is inviting remote workers to sail aboard its ship, Scarlet Lady, this summer.
The pass is good for two passengers to enjoy four weeks of sailing on back-to-back voyages between June and September. The Scarlet Lady will be exploring various destinations in the Mediterranean, including Cannes, Civitavecchia, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Ajaccio.
Prices start at $9,990, which represents a savings of up to 30 percent compared to booking four independent voyages. Travelers will get access to a dedicated concierge, free laundry service, early access to onboard diner reservations, a daily coffee credit and entry to Richard’s Rooftop.
Travelers can also take advantage of free, high-speed WiFi on board the ship, which recently upgraded to SES Cruise mPOWERED + Starlink PRO offering connectivity of up to 1.5 Gbps. The system combines SES’ medium earth orbit satellites with Starlink’s low earth orbit satellites.
“No longer does working from home mean being tied to a desk or home office and eating leftovers for lunch,” says Nirmal Saverimuttu, Virgin Voyages’ chief executive officer. “With our latest WiFi upgrades, Virgin Voyages can now offer our sailors the chance to see the world while working from a daybed at The Dock and sampling Mediterranean mezzes, then hopping off the ship in between calls to make the most of our incredible ports of call.”
