Confirmed! The first Virgin Voyages ship will be putting to sea in 2020!
Virgin Voyages, originally named Virgin Cruises has had a vision since 2014. A vision which is finally taking definite shape. The first ship in the Lady Ships fleet will be putting to sea from Miami in 2020 and will be offering luxurious cruises to the Caribbean.
A total of 2,860 passengers will be able to board the luxury ship, but only subject to one condition. Passengers who are called “sailors” on Virgin Voyages must be aged 18 or over. Yes, the ship is designed for adults only and this is absolutely on purpose. The decision was made on the basis of feedback from future passengers and travel professionals who thus expect a higher level of premium-quality experiences from the voyage.
Watch the world from luxury sea terraces ...
The actual future design of the luxury cruise ship which does not have a name yet was also unveiled recently. Approximately 90% of the cabins will have a balcony which the company CEO Tom McAlpin calls “sea terraces”.
The drawings show a silver ship with smoked glass and distinctive touches of red which Virgin has in its logo. The mermaid on the bow of the ship was designed by the London-based artist Toby Tinsley.
Everything inside will be absolutely luxurious. Passengers will come across the unique style of individual areas, enjoy the choicest of delicacies and the voyage will be accompanied by music. A crew of 1,150 will provide entertainment and professional services. You can also enjoy wellness and rejuvenation procedures. Doesn’t that sound luxurious, arriving in the Caribbean looking several years younger?
Presales of “tickets” have already begun!
Although the ship is not expected to put to sea until 2020, those who are interested can already pay in advance for the luxury voyage now. All a lot of interest is after all expected in these cruises. The fully-refundable deposit is USD 500.
