What CamJon Travel does
CamJon focuses on Virgin Voyages and the planning around the sailing. Depending on your planning scope, support can include:
- Sailing & fare strategy — itinerary, cabin category, fare type, value, restrictions, and timing.
- Cabin guidance — deck, side, location, noise, and access tradeoffs that online opinions often miss.
- Dining game plan — reservation windows, first-night strategy, and group dining.
- Bar Tab & Sailor Loot — clear explanations of promotional value, onboard credit, and smart spending.
- Hotels & transfers — voyage-connected logistics when part of the accepted scope.
- Ports & excursions — practical guidance for port days, tenders, and timing.
- App & pre-sailing playbook — Ready to Sail, check-in, reminders, and a clear plan before you board.
How to work with CamJon Travel
1 · Take the Perfect Cruise Quiz
Best if you have not sailed Virgin Voyages before. It confirms whether the brand, vibe, and sailing style fit you before you talk cabins.
2 · Plan My Voyage
Best for returning Virgin Sailors who want hands-on strategy for the next sailing — cabin, fare, itinerary, and logistics.
3 · Self-Service Booking
For confident Sailors who already know their sailing, fare, and cabin direction — kept connected to CamJon, after a quick fare checkpoint.
+ CJT Connect
A private, invite-reviewed client platform for CamJon Sailors: trip context, learning, reminders, and community after the booking.
Who CamJon Travel is (and isn’t) for
Great fit
- Adult Sailors who want honest, fit-first guidance.
- First-timers unsure whether Virgin Voyages suits them.
- Returning Sailors who want a smarter next booking.
- Groups, celebrations, and solo travelers.
Probably not a fit
- Travelers who only want the lowest price with no conversation.
- Anyone certain Virgin’s adult, modern, social style isn’t for them.
- Those who prefer a pure self-serve quote machine.
Onboard credit, perks & value
Through CamJon Travel’s travel consortia (NEST), Sailors can receive up to $200 in onboard credit, with the exact amount based on the length and sail date of the voyage.
One key rule to plan around: sailings booked within 120 days of departure do not qualify for consortia onboard credit — booking earlier is the only way to secure it.
| Consortia onboard credit (via NEST) | Up to $200 per booking, based on sailing length and sail date |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Sailings booked 120+ days before departure qualify; sailings within 120 days do not |
| Added cost | None — there is no fee to receive it |
Beyond onboard credit, CamJon watches for price drops and better fare combinations, guides smart Bar Tab and spending decisions, and offers recognition through the CJT Connect platform (separate from cruise pricing).
Meet Cameron DeJong
Cameron DeJong is the founder and Managing Partner of CamJon Travel and a Top 100 Virgin Voyages First Mate in North America (2025). Before travel, he spent nearly two decades in corporate leadership at Verizon Wireless and in healthcare technology, focused on customer experience, service recovery, and the small details that make people feel taken care of.
He is a Certified Travel Associate (CTA) and a CLIA member, and built CamJon Travel from Babcock Ranch, Florida, where he lives with his partner of 18 years, Jonathan — the “Jon” in CamJon — and their three dogs. His service philosophy is shaped by the people-first spirit of Herb Kelleher’s Southwest and the modern, relaxed energy he first loved on Virgin America. The throughline: relationship-focused, not transactional.
Cameron leads sailing strategy, and a Sailor Experience Manager supports connected logistics (hotels, documents, dining checkpoints, and pre-sailing reminders) when those are part of a Sailor’s planning scope.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cost more to book Virgin Voyages through CamJon Travel?
No. Virgin Voyages cruise pricing is the same whether you book directly or through CamJon Travel. Cruise-connected planning is included within a defined scope when your sailing is booked through CamJon; some add-on services such as flight planning or out-of-scope itineraries may carry a fee that is disclosed before any work begins.

How do I start working with CamJon Travel?
There are three paths: take the Perfect Cruise Quiz if you’re new to Virgin Voyages, choose Plan My Voyage if you’re a returning Sailor who wants guided strategy, or use Self-Service Booking if you already know your sailing and fare (after a short fare checkpoint).
Is Virgin Voyages right for me?
