Virgin Voyages Unveils Four-Week Back-to-Back Package
by Dori Saltzman /Virgin Voyages is offering digital nomads a new “home” to work from. The cruise line has unveiled it’s first-ever “Scarlet Summer Season Pass,” which features several included amenities on a four-week back-to-back series of sailings.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to do my work from anywhere,” said Richard Branson, Virgin Group founder. “When I started Virgin, I was actually working out of a houseboat. I’ve never thought of work and play as two different things, it’s all just living. We want to give Sailors that same opportunity, so we came up with this idea to have them travel the world while working aboard our beautiful ships.”
The package, which starts at $9,990 includes accommodations for two in a Central Sea Terrace, premium Wi-Fi, wash & fold laundry service, early access to book onboard dining and excursions, access to a RockStar support team on the ship, entry to Richard’s Rooftop, daily coffee credit to use at The Grounds Club, and welcome bubbles to kick off their sailing.
“No longer does working from home mean being tied to a desk or home office and eating leftovers for lunch,” said Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages.
Sailing between June and September, the four-week Mediterranean voyage visits several ports including Cannes, Civitavecchia, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Ajaccio (Corsica), and others.
