Virgin Holidays- Rockstar Service

At Virgin Holidays, we believe amazing service should come as standard. That’s why Virgin Holiday’s magic touches are made available to all Virgin Holidays customers – not just the VIPs!

We realise that you want to make the most of being on holiday, so we came up with Check in, Chill out, so you can check in for your flight without leaving the beach…or bar.  Airports are a drag.  The holiday only really starts when you get to your destination.  And if you’ve got kids, then airports are living nightmares.  So, to perk up the airport experience, we came up with the VRoom. And when you’re on holiday, you want to make sure it’s as good as it can be.  That’s where Virgin Holidays’ Concierge service comes in – a concierge actually tuned in to the buzz of your destination, not a guy in a suit on kick backs from rip-off restaurants. This belief is what sets Virgin Holidays apart from the competition. That’s why we actually encourage our customers to ‘Ask For the World’.

But how do you express that exclusive treatment in a single thought.  What do Virgin Holidays offer that no-one else does?  We think it can be described as…

“ROCKSTAR SERVICE”

It’s a level of care you’d normally associate with the glamour and excitement of the entertainment elite.  Made available to every Virgin Holidays customer.
 
The Rockstar Service campaign is the latest creative expression of this belief. With Virgin Holidays, you can rest assured that you’ll get intuitive, imaginative typically brilliant twinkle-in-the-eye Virgin service, every single time you travel with us.

Dream Manors

Dream Manors

YorkshireYorkshire has many beautiful sights that you won’t soon forget. One of their most prized attractions, are their many stately homes. These homes are rich in history, they feature stunning architecture and often date back to the 1800s and much later. They are positioned on acres of land, and often were the home to generations of the same family, along with precious memorabilia. Not only will you be in awe of their castle like beauty (and sometimes scale) but by the antiques and paintings within. Outside feature lush gardens and endless landscape. Even if you are traveling with family, you will find places for the kids to enjoy.

Visiting these manors is like going back in time, being surrounded by paintings and antiques that have been family heirlooms for hundreds of years. Discover the history that influenced the family and the home, and what shaped the foundations of what would become a building that would last for years and years to come. Hear about the events that surrounded it, and how it remains in such pristine condition. And at the end of the day, treat yourself to a beautiful country house, such as Scarborough Hotel, for the accommodation on your holiday.

chinaman_s-hat_-oahu_-hawaiiIf you want an exotic Honeymoon without having to get any vaccinations or a passport, then Hawaii is your solution. You can choose the island with the state’s capital of Honolulu, or a secluded island like Maui. This series of islands welcome millions of couples every year, whether its for a wedding or a Honeymoon or both. As for accommodation, you can have the best of the best, such as Halekulani just outside Waikiki, which has scored Five Diamond awards from AAA for both lodging and dining.

Or Kona Village Resort on the Big Island, or Hotel Hana on Maui. You can take a drive to a remote location near a waterfall in the lush forest, or to a secluded beach for privacy. There is also a dinner cruise to see the island at sunset, or go hiking with a tour guide. There are plenty of activities for your Honeymoon vacation, as well as great weather virtually year around that won’t affect your planning.

Travel to Las Vegas

las-vegasWhen you arrive in Las Vegas for the first time you are sure to be shocked at the size and scale of everything.

Las Vegas truely is the original 24hr city – it never sleeps.  You can walk up and down the strip at any time of the day and you will be able to eat a meal, watch a movie, see a show or of course gamble at one of the many casinos.

Many people come to Las Vegas purely to get married due to Nevadas relaxed laws regarding marriages and divorces.  Almost all of the major casinos have a wedding chapel inside!

It is extremely easy to simply walk into any one of the numerous chapels on The Strip and get married there and then, with no previous planning or booking. You cannot do this in any other state in USA.

Most of the casinos also hire huge musical stars in order to get guests to come stay at their hotel. Its not unusual for Elton John or Celine Dion to be booked at a casino for months at a time with 5-6 shows per week. You need to see a Las Vegas show to understand just how different they are to anything else you have seen. I would suggest grabbing some Kenny Chesney tickets when he’s at the Hard Rock Hotel.

How to Avoid Looking Like a Tourist

touristLooking like a tourist is the worst thing that you can do while on vacation. Not only is it embarrassing, but it could also be dangerous depending on where you travel to. Tourists are at a high risk for being victims of theft, as well as kidnappings. To avoid looking like a tourist and to keep yourself safe, follow these easy tips.

1.       Dress according to what the locals wear. Dressing as casual as possible will ensure that you blend in nicely.

2.       Don’t flaunt expensive jewelry or electronics. In fact, keep them at home or hidden in a safe at your hotel. Leave these at home, travelling not for showing off.

3.       Learn the mannerisms and etiquette of the area. For example, many places are highly offended by tipping at restaurants. Learning before you go can be easy as there is often this information in guides.

4.       Try not to look too shocked when you see something shocking, such as people eating cooked bugs or strange traditions. Although you may not be too keen on trying these foreign foods,

5.       Always be polite and friendly, especially if you are an American traveling to another place. Americans tend to be more “nonchalant” about meeting new people, while other nations tend to have extremely friendly dispositions.

Try to follow those tips as closely as possible so that your travels can be as enjoyable as possible! If you look like you belong you can make it easier to transition into the area and truly enjoy the sights like a local.

Top 5 Reasons To Travel

lounger1. You earned it- You have been slaving over your work and putting in the extra hours and it is time for you to reap the rewards of hard work.  It is very important to maintain a well balanced life.  Overworking yourself without the rewards of unwinding to look forward to will only cause your physical and emotional wellbeing to deteriorate.  So pack those bag and travel to a small quaint island where you can have some alone time.  You will thank yourself for doing it.

2. Travel brings the family closer- If both you and your husband are career oriented people it may very well be possible that you hardly ever spend time with your kids.  Taking a trip together can remedy this situation.  A vacation getaway with your spouse and your kids is a good way to catch up on the things you have missed about your kids while you are working your way to the top of your profession. Never underestimate the power of sandy beaches and boat rides.

3. To rekindle romance between you and your spouse- If you have been married for a long time, you may start to feel that your relationship has hit a wall or that you are not as close as you were when you were just starting to date.  Surprise your husband or your wife with tickets to Cancun or Bermuda or anywhere with a romantic atmosphere so you can talk and reconnect with each other.

4. Travel is good for your damaged psyche- Travel is a good way to deal with depression.  Getting away for a little while will do you good in getting over whatever traumatic experience you just had.  Take a close friend with you or a family member if you do not want to travel alone.  Taking a trip will help refresh your spirits so you will be back in fighting form in no time.

5. Travel is good for the economy- Most households are cutting back on expenses because of the current economic climate.  This may seem sensible, but in a larger scale, it is better for the economy for people to spend because it creates a faster exchange of money for goods and services.  Travel related business will benefit a lot if people take more trips.
