What We Do
I'm often asked what it is that makes Virgin different. The simple answer is — our people” Sir Richard Branson
At Virgin Voyages, we love the wide ocean waves, the sting of salt spray and the anticipation for places and experiences unknown. It’s exhilarating! That’s how travel should always feel.
Our people are the heart and soul of our business. We are a passionate lot, united in our desire to create something really special for our future sailors. These sailors have challenged us to create something more audacious than the word “cruise” can capture. We've accepted the challenge. From our custom-designed ships, to our commitment to charting a greener course through the ocean’s blue, to delivering you a holiday where irresistible style has finally found its sea legs, we can’t wait to welcome you onboard.
Virgin Voyages, the ship of things to come
