Yes. HM Prison Service staff can join the Sailing Club free and get a real prison staff cruise discount on cruise lines such as Virgin Voyages, MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean.
2. Is the discount available to retired prison officers?
Usually, yes — retired prison officers are generally still eligible, though it's worth checking your circumstances with us before booking.
3. Does the discount apply across all UK prisons?
Yes, the discount applies to prison staff across the UK, not just one establishment.

6. Is the discount just for me, or can family come too?
Family can come too, and friends are generally able to use the discount as well.
