How we make money. Plainly.

ChartMyVoyage is operated by a Fora Advisor specializing in Virgin Voyages. Fora Travel is our host agency, registered IATA, providing the supplier relationships and commission infrastructure that lets independent travel advisors operate at scale. We are registered with Virgin Voyages as a Certified First Mate (their term for an accredited travel advisor).

When you book a Virgin Voyages sailing through any link on this site, Virgin Voyages pays our agency a commission on the voyage fare and on select pre-voyage add-ons like Voyage Protection, Shore Things, Bar Tab, and Sailor Loot. That commission funds the planning work we do for every Sailor and the operating costs of running this site and our practice.

Crucially:

• Booking through our links costs you no more than booking directly on virginvoyages.com. Virgin Voyages sets the fare; we don't add to it.
• Your booking is with Virgin Voyages. Their payment terms, cancellation policies, and Sailor protections apply exactly as if you'd booked direct. We're the advisor of record under Fora Travel, not a reseller.
• Our value is the planning, not the fare. We're selling the consultation, the cabin advice, the dining strategy, the on-call support.

This site uses rel="sponsored" on all outbound Virgin Voyages links, in line with Google's affiliate link conventions and FTC disclosure guidance. On social media, our posts carry #ad #affiliate labels and use Instagram's Paid Partnership or TikTok's Branded Content tags where applicable.

If we use any AI-generated visuals or video in social content, we tag it "AI-assisted visuals" in the caption, per the FTC's 2024 Rule on Consumer Reviews and Testimonials.
