REVIEW: All aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady, currently sailing around Australia’s eastern states in its first season down under. I hop on a five-night cruise with Velocity Points.

Ahead of Virgin Voyages’ debut Australian season, we hop onboard Resilient Lady to discover just what makes this adults-only cruise tick.

Set sail with Virgin Voyages on cruises of up to 6 nights for 99,999 Velocity Points. That single redemption covers up to two sailors in a cabin with no extra to pay in cash.

Velocity Gold and Platinum status offers plenty of benefits in the air, but you can now extend those perks out to sea with this handy Virgin Voyages status match for paid cruise bookings.

Although the cost of living is rising, a well-earned holiday that doesn’t break the budget is still within reach – just by using your points effectively. Here’s how I effortlessly booked a cruise holiday with my points.
