Newly Named Virgin Voyages Promises To Change Cruising Forever

​Previously known as Virgin Cruises, Virgin Voyages are building three identical 110,000 gross tonne cruise ships, with the first to launch in 2020.
 
The new name Virgin Voyages was announced at a press conference in Miami earlier this week. Virgin unveiled the new branding platform, promising to "change cruising for good" and travel "should celebrate your curiosity and not force you to follow one itinerary."

​Construction on the first of three tonne ships will start in late 2017 at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa, Italy. Each ship will accommodate 2,800 passengers and according to the new start-up cruise line the ships will “not be your average cruise ships.”
 
Virgin Voyages also announced a partnership with Climeon, which will turn waste heat into electricity, helping Virgin Voyages to become one of the cleanest fleets at sea.
