Virgin Voyages launches adults-only cruise line
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - Sir Richard Branson's latest project is an adults-only cruise line called Virgin Voyages. It is an "Adult By Design" travel experience and all of the sailings will require passengers to be at least 18 years old.
The first sailing is slated to take place on the under-construction "Scarlet Lady" in April 2020. The company has released sketches and videos that give an idea of what the ship and suites will look like.
The ship will be based in Miami and will make trips to various locations in the Caribbean including Cuba and the Bahamas.
The company claims it will have one of the "greenest" ships in the industry. Heat from the engines will be turned into energy and wastewater will be purified.
One class of cabins is called "Rockstar Suites" and they include king beds and high-end amenities.
Highlights of the Massive Suite, the top suite aboard the Scarlet Lady, include its very own guitar-clad music room, views of the ocean from every corner of the suite, and a massive terrace complete with its own Peek-a-View outdoor shower, hot tub, hammocks and a runway outdoor dining table, where a staircase will help guests make their way on top of the table for dancing.

Bookings went on sale on February 14, 2019.
