"I’ve dreamed of starting my own cruise line since I was in my 20s and now the launch is finally getting close," said Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Voyages, in a statement. "We have taken the time to think about every detail and craft an experience that brings the Virgin brand to life and disrupts the travel industry."

"At Virgin Voyages we are going beyond just great design to defy and redefine luxury to be rebellious luxe," added Virgin Voyages president and CEO Tom McAlpin. "This new luxury is about knowing you are taken care of, that you’re never being nickel and dimed, and what you want, even some of the things you didn’t know you wanted, are already taken care of for you."

Earlier this month, Virgin Voyages launched a dedicated travel agent website called "First Mates" that offers agents and advisors access to interactive marketing and learning materials to help them book clients.
