☆ I work from a cruise ship for 3 months a year. Here's how I stay productive at sea.

We live in an Orlando rental, but I run the travel-planning business from a cruise ship for three months out of the year. Video calls can be dicey, but voice calls over WiFi work wellMost of my work is using emails, social media apps, and a web browser, so I don't tend to have problems. The upload speed is the most difficult thing about working on a cruise ship. Cruise ships are comparable to remote working spaces, but they offer so much more. Meeting places are usually free on a cruise ship.

☆ I'm a millennial who avoided cruises because I thought they were full of germs and kids. My first experience proved me wrong.

Read previewThis is an as-told-to essay based on a transcribed conversation with millennial Eliza Green, who took her first cruise vacation on Virgin Voyages. Virgin Voyages sounded particularly appealing. In October 2023, my husband, two other couples, and I embarked on Virgin Voyage's Scarlet Lady Dominican Daze. Cruise food was better than an all-inclusive resortThe food was a pleasant surprise, far better than the buffet options I'd imagined on other cruises. The cabin was a needed respiteBefore traveling on a cruise, I'd heard of windowless cabins and cramped rooms.

☆ Richard Branson’s cruise line launches month-long cruise for remote workers
  + stars: | 2024-04-05 | by ( Mike Cappetta | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Virgin Voyages is targeting a new type of traveler: remote workers. In March, the Miami-based cruise line owned by Sir Richard Branson introduced a month-long cruise called the "Scarlet Summer Season Pass." It's essentially four week-long cruises packaged together to appeal to remote workers who want to spend a month at sea in southern Europe. That prompted Virgin Voyages to open additional spots for remote workers on a second cruise ship this summer. The "Season Pass" cruises will sail on Virgin's Scarlet Lady and Resilient Lady ships, each of which can accommodate around 2,700 guests.

REUTERS/Simon DawsonApril 19 (Reuters) - Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit Holdings Inc and its subsidiaries in the United States filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. Earlier this month, Virgin Orbit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the satellite launch company struggled to secure long-term funding following a failed launch in January. "We expect the filing of the plan and disclosure statement will help us to efficiently conclude the Chapter 11 process once we have completed the sale of the company," Dan Hart, chief executive of Virgin Orbit said in the statement. The company is seeking the sale of its assets, after laying off roughly 85% of its 750 employees.
☆ Branson's Virgin Orbit files for bankruptcy, to seek buyer
  + stars: | 2023-04-04 | by ( Joey Roulette | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Virgin Orbit went public in 2021 through a blank-check deal, raising $255 million less than expected. Spun off from Branson's space tourism firm Virgin Galactic in 2017, Virgin Orbit air-launches rockets from beneath a modified Boeing (BA.N) 747 plane to send satellites into orbit. Virgin Orbit's strategy has been that launching small rockets from a 747 in flight would allow for short-notice launches from anywhere. Virgin Investments, a unit of Virgin Group, will provide $31.6 million in new money to Virgin Orbit through debtor-in-possession financing to fund operations while it looks for a buyer in bankruptcy, the companies said. Virgin Orbit's bankruptcy filing showed its largest creditor as London-based Arqit Ltd, which was owed almost $10 million for services and as a customer deposit.

☆ I've sailed on every major cruise line but the entertainment on adults-only Virgin Voyages blew me away, from drag disco to a sex therapy show
  + stars: | 2023-01-28 | by ( Lori A. May | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
This past summer, I was excited to try the new Virgin Voyages adults-only cruise. The author sailed on Scarlet Lady, the inaugural ship from Virgin Voyages. And while I tend to be loyal to a few cruise lines, I was intrigued by the adults-only experience with Virgin Voyages and wanted to see for myself how it made this cruise line different. So this past summer, I decided on a June sailing out of Miami on Virgin, and paid $2,711 for a 5-night cruise on Scarlet Lady. Based on what I saw in Virgin Voyages' advertising, I knew to expect dance parties and some sort of main stage attraction.
