The RYA is offering all its members the chance to win a fantastic three night cruise with P&O Cruises when they update their membership category and email details.

From 01 September until the end of TheYachtmarket.com Southampton Boat Show (Sunday 23 September), members who login to their membership accounts and confirm / update their email contact details and update their membership category preferences will automatically be entered in to the FREE prize draw to win a cruise to Belgium on board P&O cruises, Ventura.

Members can also enter by completing the entry form that will be available in the RYA Members' lounge, located in the Holiday Inn Hotel at the boat show (14-23 September).

"By keeping your email preferences and contact details up to date it helps us to ensure you receive emails and content based on your boating preferences and gives you complete control over how we contact you and what information you receive", explained Gemma Garrett, RYA Membership Engagement Officer.

The prize includes a balcony cabin for two adult passengers departing from Southampton on 23 November 2018 for three nights (returns on 26 November). You'll head across the Channel to Zeebrugge, the cruise port for beautiful Bruges. Synonymous with delicious, velvety Belgian chocolate, Bruges is a cocoa lover's delight. It's also known for its picturesque criss-crossing canals, intricate lacework and cheerful bars, serving world-renowned Belgian beers. For first timers, this cruise is a brilliant way to discover all the joy of a holiday at sea. While, for seasoned sea dogs, it's a great way to sample the delights of a different ship.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the prize package, however you will need to pay for your own drinks and if you use of any of the speciality restaurants on board.

The winner will be drawn at random and contacted by email by a member of the RYA Membership Team, after which your details will be shared with a representative at P&O who will book you on to the cruise and be available to answer any further questions you may have.
