Branson and McAlpin continued: “We are so excited for the future of Virgin Voyages as an experience for our Sailors and as a business”. Scarlet Lady has three sister ships coming and Virgin Voyages’ fleet will be bold and bright with a focused approach to addressing climate change through a commitment to a net zero carbon future.
“Finally, despite what we are facing, travel will always be a way for us to connect with one another and open ourselves up to new ideas and ways of thinking. So while this isn’t the time for us to meet on the spectacular Scarlet Lady, it will be soon. We can’t wait to see you on board.”
