We’re Thomas and Phil — Virgin Voyages specialists, travel obsessives, and firm believers that travel should never feel like hard work.
As Gold Tier First Mates (that’s Virgin’s fancy way of saying we’ve earned our sea legs), we know these ships like our favourite cocktail menus. And as proud CLIA members, you can trust that you’re sailing with a team who actually knows their port from their starboard.
At Red Wave Travel, we don’t just find you a cabin and call it a day.
We help you craft the kind of voyage that starts with a spark and ends with stories. The kind where you stop checking your emails and start checking the ocean instead.

Our Trustpilot rating
Phil is really knowledgable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we get the most out of our sailings with Virgin Voyages. Very professional & we were really impressed with the additional perks he got for us too. Would have no hesitation in booking with them again! (In fact I just have)

Thomas was extremely helpful and on hand to answer any questions I had prior to booking. Can’t wait to meet him onboard. The booking process itself was simple and straightforward.
