How to Get VIP Perks on Luxury Cruises
Cruising is already one of the most enjoyable ways to explore the world, but savvy travelers know that certain luxury cruises come with valuable VIP perks — if you know how to access them.
On select sailings, guests can enjoy exclusive benefits such as private onboard events, a dedicated host, curated shore experiences, or onboard credits. These perks are not advertised publicly and are not available through direct bookings.
One of the most reliable ways to access these enhancements is through Virtuoso Voyages — an invitation-only cruise benefits program available on carefully selected departures when your cruise is booked and properly registered through a Virtuoso® member travel agency.
As a Virtuoso® member agency, Roaming Boomers Travel Services helps clients identify eligible sailings, secure VIP benefits, and ensure everything is registered correctly so these perks are fully honored.
Watch the Virtuoso Voyages overview video below to see how hosted sailings and exclusive benefits can enhance your next cruise. You can also download the Virtuoso Voyages flyer attached above for a quick summary of the included benefits.
What Is Virtuoso Voyages?
Virtuoso Voyages is a hosted cruise program available on select sailings with leading luxury ocean, river, and small-ship cruise lines. These departures include enhanced onboard support, exclusive events, and a choice of valuable amenities designed to enrich both the onboard and in-port experience.
Virtuoso works directly with its preferred cruise partners to create these hosted sailings. As a result, Virtuoso Voyages benefits are only available when your cruise is booked and properly registered through a Virtuoso member travel agency, such as Roaming Boomers Travel Services.

Choice of one added client benefit
Eligible guests receive one of the following enhancements, depending on the sailing:

These experiences include a meal and are designed to deliver deeper access and a more memorable connection to the destination. - Private car and driver experience
Explore a destination at your own pace with the flexibility of a private car and driver—ideal for independent-minded travelers who value personalization. - Personalized experience credit
Enhance your vacation with a reimbursed post-sailing credit that can be applied to Virtuoso-preferred travel services such as pre- or post-cruise hotel stays, travel insurance, private tours, and more. - Shipboard credit
