Virgin Voyages

Virgin Voyages is one of the newest cruise companies in the world, with a fleet of four ships under construction, in which the first one will start to operate in 2020. Even before hiring, the company rolled out a crew survey in 2016 asking advice from thousands of crew members around the world of which features they should allow or provide for their crew. On the options, they included free WiFi, having visible tattoos and single cabins, to name a few. Prior the hiring process started in 2019, the company announced that they not only will allow tattoos, facial hair and different hair styles but will also incentive crew members to be “themselves” and not robots. The company also announced that they will have free Wifi.

 

With 4 and 5 days itineraries on the Caribbean and overnights on all of them, the company is also building a huge terminal in Miami, in which is expected to be named terminal V instead of “G”. The company second ship, named Valiant Lady, will be sailing in the Europe before reaching the US.
