Ahoy Sailor! Your monthly update from Cameron DeJong
Ahoy Sailor!
This is a packed one. I have been working behind the scenes on something big, and I finally get to tell you about it.
From a platform launch that has been over a year in the making, to Caribbean deals that are ending in days, two voyages you genuinely do not want to miss, a brand-new partnership that is going to elevate the entire CamJon Travel experience, fresh blog content, and a new podcast episode — this newsletter has it all.
Grab your coffee (or your cocktail — I will not judge). Let's dive in.
CJ Travel Connect Is Here 🚀
This is the moment. Your premier cruise community, rewards hub, and voyage companion — after over a year of building, it is finally here.
Three Paths to Earn Points
Community: Daily logins, sharing cruise photos and stories, and engaging with fellow sailors. Experience: Travel guides, quizzes, Sailor Academy modules, and virtual seminars. Ambassador: Refer friends and earn substantial bonuses.
Membership Tiers
Advance from Shore Explorer to Reef Navigator, Island Voyager, and Ocean Adventurer — each unlocking higher earning multipliers and exclusive perks. Your status lasts a lifetime.
The Shop & Sweepstakes
Redeem points for CamJon Travel merchandise, travel gear, and exclusive accessories — or enter monthly, quarterly, and annual sweepstakes for a chance to win prizes.
Giving Back
Donate your points directly to our charitable partners — SWFL Rotary and Rescue Paws Curaçao. 100% of converted point value is donated quarterly.
Why This Matters to Me
I built CJ Travel Connect because I believe that the cruise experience should not start and end at the gangway. It should start the moment you start dreaming about your next voyage, and it should carry through long after you are back home unpacking your suitcase.
This platform is about building a real community of people who are as passionate about Virgin Voyages as I am. It is about giving you tools that actually make voyage planning easier. It is about rewarding you for being engaged, curious, and connected — not just for spending money. You will never earn points for booking a cruise. That was a deliberate choice. This platform rewards who you are, not what you spend.
I am incredibly proud of what this has become, and I cannot wait for you to see it for yourself.

New Partnership: Sava Travel
I am thrilled to share that CamJon Travel has officially partnered with Sava Travel as our host agency — and I could not be more excited about what this means for you.
In the coming weeks and months, this partnership will continue to evolve with incredible new support, resources, and amazing value adds to your voyages that I genuinely cannot wait for you to experience. You will be hearing from the team that will be working hand in hand with me on your sailings.
Nothing changes on your end — I am still your dedicated point of contact for everything. Same personal service, same attention to detail, same passion. But behind the scenes, the support structure around your voyages just got a whole lot stronger. The experience is about to get even better.

I "Reddit" on Facebook: The Cruise Group Advice That Leads You Astray
Here is the truth — most cruise advice you find in online groups is misleading, outdated, or flat-out wrong. In this episode, I break down the most common pieces of bad advice I see circulating in Facebook groups and Reddit threads, why they are wrong, and what you should actually know before your voyage.
If you are planning a Virgin Voyages trip or just want to stop second-guessing everything you read online, this is your must-listen.
