Experience the Ultimate Poker Adventure with Virgin Voyages and the World Poker Tour!
Calling all poker enthusiasts! Virgin Voyages has teamed up with the renowned World Poker Tour (WPT) to bring you an unparalleled poker experience onboard their luxurious ship, Scarlet Lady. Departing from Miami, Scarlet Lady offers four- and five-night cruises that combine the excitement of travel with the thrill of the poker table.
In an industry first, Virgin Voyages has created a dedicated poker venue called the "WPT at Sea" Poker Room, which can be found at www.wptatsea.com. This exclusive space features eight custom poker tables and is staffed with professional dealers who will ensure an unforgettable poker experience. The room offers a variety of options, including beginner training, cash games, satellites, and WPT Prize Package tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $80 to $320. This partnership marks Virgin Voyages' foray into the world of gaming and casinos, adding another exciting dimension to their adult-only, premium cruise experience.
Tom McAlpin, CEO of Virgin Voyages, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "As a new brand with an innovative spirit, we've been fortunate to introduce many industry firsts, including our partnership with the World Poker Tour and WPT at Sea. Our adult-only, premium experience offers an incredible backdrop, not only for a great vacation but also as an oasis for the WPT in a way never seen before."
One of the highlights of the poker experience onboard Scarlet Lady is the $320 buy-in "WPT at Sea" main event, which takes place during each sailing. Depending on the number of participants, this marquee event has the potential to award a WPT prize package valued at $5,000. The prize package can be used for future voyages or WPT events, adding even more excitement and anticipation to your poker journey. To ensure a seamless experience, the WPT at Sea Poker Room has implemented cashless participation, allowing all transactions to be easily handled through the Sailors' wearable devices. (Note: "Sailors" is the term Virgin Voyages uses to refer to their guests.)
Adam Pliska, CEO of the World Poker Tour, shared his excitement about this groundbreaking partnership, saying, "After witnessing the magic of cruise-line poker with Virgin Voyages last season, we instantly sought to establish a permanent fixture. Scarlet Lady provides the perfect residence for WPT at Sea, which will bring the WPT poker experience to the high seas."
