At 69 years old, Sir Richard Branson is finally putting to fruition an idea he had since age 27. An adult only cruise line company which he’s calling Virgin Voyages featuring his first ship ‘Scarlet Lady’.
Setting sail April 2020, ports include sexy Havana, Cuba, Costa Maya, Mexico, and Bimini Bahamas. Each cruise is 4 or 5 nights and will include a Bahamian Beach Club experience that will mirror those in St Tropez and Greece. Want to join Branson on his 70th birthday? Book a cruise next July and sail alongside the boss himself.
Cooler than cool Richard and his team want too redefine the cruising industry. Forget boring buffets, so long everday entertainment. It’ll be a foodies delight with 35 individual restaurants, food trucks, taco stands and an all night diner. Prepare for fantastical nightly entertainment with unique dance parties and experimental dance shows with live acrobatics.
Goodbye pesky fees. Besides alcohol, retail shopping, and excursions, everything is all included, even wifi.
Known for his larger than life experiences, the Virgin Group’s young at heart Branson held a press conference on the magical 102nd floor a top One World Trade, followed by a swanky and fierce nightly party at Playstation Theater, where Branson jumped up on the stage for a “dance off” with performers from Virgin Voyages’ Creative Collective.
Fresh off his Grammy win, Mark Ronson DJ’ed the party spinning hit “Shallow,” giving a shout out to fellow Grammy winners, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper. Also joining the party actress Shailene Woodley, who along with Ronson and Branson sprayed champagne over the crowd of celebrities and tastemakers to celebrate the announcement of the open bookings on Virgin Voyages.
If these events are any indication of whats to come with Virgin Voyages, were in for a super-duper time to remember.
