Virgin spreads wings - to cruises, by Andrew Carswell
(The Courier-Mail)

With competition heating up in the skies, airline Virgin Blue is hitting the waves for extra revenue.

The budget carrier has teamed with OurVacation Store to offer online packages for major cruise lines.

No stranger to diversifying its products, Virgin will fly the flag for Captain Cook, P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Cunard from its new www.virginblue.com.au/cruises site.

It will also offer complimentary air travel to and from the port for those who book upmarket suites on selected cruises.

Virgin Blue CEO Brett Godfrey said the website was slowly evolving into a one-stop travel site.
