CamJon Travel June 2026 Newsletter
Your summer of Virgin Voyages starts here.
A hosted group cruise, a brand new groups program, and a CJ Travel Connect that keeps getting better. June is a big one.
Published June 2026
Ahoy Sailor!
June has been a busy one behind the scenes, and this issue is packed. We have a hosted group cruise with a time-sensitive bonus, a brand new way to bring your own group to sea, fresh upgrades inside CJ Travel Connect, and an expert tip that could change how you book your next voyage.
Here is everything worth knowing this month.
An Intro to Virgin Voyages aboard Brilliant Lady.
Join Cameron and Jonathan for a four-night, adults-only sailing aboard Brilliant Lady, Virgin’s newest ship, round-trip from Miami to Key West and The Beach Club at Bimini, March 4 to 8, 2027.
Whether this is your very first Virgin voyage or your fifth Lady ship, you are welcome aboard. It is a hosted, low-pressure way to sail together as a CamJon community, with touches you cannot book on your own: a welcome gathering, a group dinner, and curated experiences in both ports. New sailors get a friendly introduction, and if you have sailed with us before, we would love to finally meet you in person.
Book by July 26 and you will receive $50 in Bar Tab plus $100 in Sailor Loot to spend onboard. Cabins are filling, so the sooner you reserve, the better your pick.
New This Month
Bring your own group to sea.
Virgin Voyages just refreshed its Groups Program, and it is a great fit for milestone birthdays, friend trips, family reunions, and even weddings at sea. A group starts at just eight cabins, and CamJon hosts and handles the logistics so the planning never lands on you.
Hold cabins with zero deposit
Reserve your group’s space first and let people commit on their own timeline.
Lock in your fare and promotion early
Your group rate and offer are set from the day the group is created.
More group dining flexibility
Greater ability to seat your group together and hold space onboard for the people you came to sail with.
Group gifts, add-ons, and more
Plus celebration touches and wedding options for the occasions worth gathering for.
The full breakdown lives in our new groups guide, and the easiest next step is simply to reach out.
What is new inside CJ Travel Connect.
CJ Travel Connect is your exclusive sailor platform, and it is currently built for sailors who have booked with CamJon Travel. We keep adding to it, and this month brought some of our favorite upgrades yet.
Explore the Fleet
Wander all four Lady ships deck by deck before you sail, find your cabin’s neighborhood, and keep an eye out for CJ, who hides somewhere new each week for a little burst of confetti.
Decode your dining
Take the 60-second Dining Decoder to reveal your dining persona, then map a night-by-night plan so you board knowing exactly where to eat first. You can still send your plan straight to Cameron and Dominic too.
Your whole trip, one clean view
Flights, hotels, transfers, and your sailing now live on one simple timeline, with a countdown that lights up at one month, one week, three sleeps, and a glowing today’s the day on sailing morning.
The Lounge is buzzing
Swap tips, ask questions, and meet fellow CamJon-booked Sailors before you ever board, with a weekly question and a friendly leaderboard.
Earn while you explore
Daily missions, streaks, points, and tiers full of perks, plus achievements to collect. The more you explore your home base, the more you rack up.
Expert Tip
Why more sailors are choosing Premium.
We are seeing more and more sailors choose Premium over Essential, and it usually comes down to peace of mind. The biggest driver is dining. Premium opens the earliest dining reservation window of any non-suite fare, so you can lock in the restaurants and times you want well in advance instead of hoping they are still open closer to sailing. We have a few ways to help sailors land reservations, but the path of least resistance is simply booking as a RockStar or on a Premium fare.
Premium also stacks a few things that add up: $15 per Sailor per night in Bar Tab for premium drinks and specialty coffees, Premium WiFi, and more flexibility overall.
Here is the part most sailors do not realize, and it matters most when life happens. On Premium, both Sailor One and Sailor Two can have their names changed. Picture being inside 45 days, where the fare is non-refundable and the date cannot move, and suddenly you cannot go. On Premium, someone you know can take your place by having the booking put in their name. Only Premium and RockStar fares can change the name of Sailor One. On every other fare, if the lead sailor cannot go, that option is not there.
As always, fare inclusions and rules can change, so we confirm current terms with you before booking.
