Two bookings through Phil and both have been effortless. He consistently finds better deals than I can track down myself and turns queries around fast. Will keep coming back.
Company details
Written by the company
We don’t sell cruises. We create legends at sea — the kind that start with a glass of bubbles and end with you swearing you’ll never sail with anyone but Virgin Voyages again. Sure, there are plenty of Gold-tier First Mates, but we don’t just book Virgin Voyages, we live it. We sail the ships, know the bartenders by name, and can tell you exactly which deck to stand on when the horizon turns gold. From the cabins worth the splurge to the hidden bars and secret dining gems, we’re your shortcut to insider status. Red Wave Travel — for Sailors who don’t just cruise, they make waves.

Highly Recommend Red Wave
Thomas from Red Wave, booked our first Virgin Cruise. Transatlantic from Miami to Barcelona on Scarlet Lady. Thomas got us a great deal at a great price.
Thomas was also on our cruise and could not have looked after us any better. He continually checked in with us to ensure that we were all having a great time with no issues, even though it was also his holiday.
I would definitely book with Red Wave again and would highly recommend them

Proactive agent!
Just booked a cruise with Phil at Red wave! Absolutely amazing as we had missed a great price on a future cruise but as the rate became available Phil secured it for us which was just brilliant as it was a bucket list destination for us. Looking forward to working with Red Wave as it’s so much better to have a First Mate v direct book with Virgin Voyages.
Excellent booking experience
We are yet to take our cruise but have to say that the booking process has been brilliant with Philip. We are new to Virgin Voyages cruising and he was very helpful with getting us into the most suitable cabin. Communication via the app is speedy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any bookings going forward.

Thomas - Red Wave Travel
I enquired with Thomas on a potential cruise and he took the time to make sure I knew everything about the virgin cruise before I booked. Thomas even gave me some sailor loot for booking through Red Wave Travel. The whole experience was nothing short of exceptional. I would definitely recommend Red Wave Travel.
Book with confidence
Made an enquiry without knowing what to expect but Phil came back me very quickly with all the info I needed. Booked, sailed, had a great time. Booked again for the coming year!
Philip Paton was incredibly easy to…to work with
Philip Paton was incredibly easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable about the ports and room details. He made the entire process effortless. We had originally booked on our own, but once we saw the great deal he found, he handled the switch seamlessly. We will definitely use him for future voyages!

The service was friendly, fast, and incredibly professional. You can tell Phil genuinely care about creating the perfect cruise experience for their clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Red Wave Travel to anyone wanting to travel with Virgin Voyages. Exceptional! Go go! Thanks Phil!
