Virgin Voyages partners with World Poker Tour
Virgin Voyages has teamed up with the World Poker Tour (WPT).
The tie-up will deliver poker experiences during every sailing aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady.
The ship sails four and five-night cruises from Miami.
In an industry first, Virgin Voyages has established a standing poker venue, the “WPT at Sea” Poker Room.
It has eight custom poker tables with professional dealers.
The room offers beginner training, cash games, satellites and WPT Prize Package tournaments.
Buy-ins range from $80 to $320.
“As a new brand we’ve been fortunate to introduce many industry firsts, including our partnership with the World Poker Tour and WPT at Sea,” said Tom McAlpin, CEO.
The $320 buy-in WPT at Sea main event will be held during each sailing.
Based on the number of participants, the marquee event may award a WPT prize package (valued at $5,000), which may be used on any future voyage or WPT event.
WPT at Sea Poker Room has cashless participation, allowing transactions to be processed on wearable devices.
