Virgin Voyages teamed up with Delta Air Lines to bring a touch of magic to the skies. Over 160 travelers aboard a Delta flight were in for a surprise as Sir Richard Branson himself treated them to an unexpected gift: a free voyage on board this year.

Celebrating Resilient Lady’s New Homeport

The surprise gesture marked the forthcoming launch of Resilient Lady’s new homeport in San Juan later this year following the cancellation of the Australia Season. This move signifies Virgin Voyages’ commitment to expanding its presence and offerings in the Caribbean.

Resilient Lady, the most recent addition to Virgin Voyages’ fleet, promises brand new entertainment for travelers seeking adventure and relaxation.

A Personal Invitation from Sir Richard Branson

SkyMiles Members aged 18 and older on the Delta flight received a personal invitation from Sir Richard Branson himself. Richard personally gifted each of them a free voyage during Resilient Lady’s inaugural season in San Juan.

Before boarding, Virgin Voyages transformed the departure gate at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport into a vibrant prelude to the cruise experience. Passengers were treated to live entertainment featuring the Happenings Cast and even a game of roulette with Branson and Delta’s SVP and Chief Communications Officer, Tim Mapes.
