Virgin Voyages Shares Full “Don’t Stop Me Now” Choir Performance from Brilliant Lady’s New York Sail-In
Virgin Voyages has released the full video of Brilliant Lady’s spectacular sail-in to New York City, featuring a mass choir performance of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” The moment, filmed during the Friends & Family voyage, brought together sailors, crew, and Virgin leaders in a celebration of energy and creativity that perfectly captured the brand’s spirit.
A Statue of Liberty Moment to Remember
Originally recorded on September 2, Brilliant Lady circled the Statue of Liberty as thousands gathered on deck to sing along. Sir Richard Branson also sang with Australian conductor Astrid Jorgensen from Pub Choir led the performance. Abi the Hostess added her signature flair, helping turn the crowd into a sea of voices that echoed across New York Harbor.
The event marked Brilliant Lady’s first U.S. arrival ahead of her MerMaiden voyage, following a private Friends & Family sailing from Portsmouth to New York. The new video captures the full performance, showing the decks alive with sound, color, and movement, before Branson and Virgin Voyages CEO Nirmal Saverimuttu jumped into the pool to wrap up the celebrations.
