Virgin Voyages’ Post

Voted the World's Best... Again! 🏆 Travel + Leisure Co. has awarded us the #1 spot for the 2nd time for Best Mega-ship Ocean Cruise Line in their World's Best Awards. We owe this honor to our Sailors. Thank you for voiting for us! Sea what our fans had to say.

In honor of our commitment to cleaner, healthier marine ecosystems, we’ve partnered with Oceanic Global Global and Corona (AB InBev) on a new art installation aboard Valiant Lady. Created using ocean plastics, it aims to raise awareness about pollution and to inspire Sailors to take action 🌊 Join us on this mission to eliminate single-use plastic and to preserve and protect Earth’s oceans by taking your own pledge here. https://virg.in/4bKXLcw

Get ready to laugh your *aft* off on our first-ever comedy festival at sea! With 5 nights of funny, you'll enjoy iconic comedians by night and explore the best of Amsterdam and Bruges by day.

We visit over 100 destinations worldwide, so it is important that the communities in these ports are as happy to have us as we are to be there — and that goes for the local wildlife too 🐬🐠 . In honor of Tourism Day (that's today), we want to give a shout out to our Shore Things teams. They make sure our local tour operators are held to the highest standards, ensuring that environmental, safety, and animal welfare standards are met. For example, we don't promote tours featuring captive whales or dolphins. We believe these magnificent creatures should be appreciated in their natural habitat. But that's not the only thing we do to benefit the lands we visit and the seas we sail. Check out all our sustainability initiatives and let's make an ocean of change together. #tourismday https://lnkd.in/e_hp4tXi

Last week, we released our 'Sea Change' video, showcasing our commitment as a purpose-led brand dedicated to both people and the planet.

Dive in to how we're making a difference here:  https://lnkd.in/eUND7G6D

“40% of the Valiant Lady entertainment technical crew and supervisors are women. This is unheard of in both the cruise and live entertainment industries. I was almost always the only female technician onboard so I am especially proud of what we have been able to do with recruitment and hiring here." — @samanthakjacobs, Director - Entertainment Technical Operations Let's hear it for (and from) the girls! Recognize a fearless female you work with below or tell your own story. We want to sea your successes and support for each other 📢 #womenshistorymonth #internationalwomensday

WFH = Working from the Helm ⚓ If your work/life balance could use a little more *life*, snag Scarlet Summer Season Pass 🎟️ This June 2024, you can spend a month aboard Scarlet Lady as she sails along the Mediterranean. Work (and play) at sea, and save money doing it (30% to be exact). But hurry, these passes are very limited. https://virg.in/4c5FaZ9

If there’s one phrase that perfectly describes the joy we get from partnering with local artists from our hometown, it’s “ship, ship, hooray!” ⚓ 🎥IG/chalkandbrush
