Virgin Voyages revealed Wendy Williams as captain

Virgin Voyages have revealed that Captain Wendy Williams will be the master of Scarlet Lady. She will be the first Canadian woman to be captain of a ship for a major cruise brand.

“Captain Wendy’s extensive maritime background makes her an excellent choice to lead the Scarlet Lady, but it is her spirit and drive to approach life at sea differently that make her the perfect fit to join the Virgin Voyages family,” said Tom McAlpin, president and chief executive officer for Virgin Voyages.

It’s a dream come true to be working with Virgin Voyages

“I have salt water in my veins and nothing brings me more joy than being at sea,” said Captain Wendy Williams. “It’s a dream come true to be working with Virgin Voyages, a company that is focused on creating an incredible experience not only for our Sailors but for our Crew as well; while also taking action to minimize our footprint on our oceans.”
