Richard Branson to join Virgin Med sailing

Sir Richard Branson is set to join a special Virgin Voyages sailing that will celebrate 50 years of the Virgin brand.

The Virgin Celebration Voyage will see Sir Richard give guests a behind-the-scenes look at Virgin, with other company leaders from across the group onboard too.

The sailing will take place on August 27, 2023.

The sailing will include intimate fireside chats, special performances, culinary explorations and memorable experiences, according to a release.

The company is offering members of its Sailing Club loyalty scheme 30% off the fare.

“When we launched our Sailing Club last year, we knew we wanted to offer a unique loyalty program that provided Sailors with irresistible benefits and exclusive access to special brand moments,” said Tom McAplin, CEO, Virgin Voyages. “A Virgin Celebration Voyage is a great example of this and benefits not only our Virgin following, but our incredible Sailing Club members. It’s an exciting time to be a real brand loyalist.”
