Virgin Group BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I have been everywhere this week—in headlines, on TV, at splashy launch events, even rubbing elbows with Housewives—because Virgin Group is everywhere redefining what travel, adventure, and entertainment look like. The big buzz lately is all about the grand debut of Brilliant Lady, Virgin Voyages’ fourth Lady Ship, which set Manhattan abuzz with red energy as she made her showstopper arrival at Pier 90. Sir Richard Branson himself led a Statue of Liberty sail-in, complete with a choir belting out Don’t Stop Me Now, fueling a citywide Virgin takeover. The New York launch was nothing less than a spectacle: immersive Scarlet Night festivities, new culinary venues like Rojo with inventive Spanish fare, Broadway-level entertainment, and that signature adult-only, kid-free, party-at-sea vibe. Brilliant Lady has already welcomed thousands of guests on board for her “MerMaiden Voyage” to Bermuda and set out for a season of chic travel to hot and cool destinations. This isn’t just any cruise ship—it’s being heralded as a love letter to the social side of adventure, boasting fresh entertainment, Michelin-level dining, and wellness spaces, and is set to sail to over 150 ports worldwide according to Virgin and the Knockturnal.

On the pop culture front, Virgin Voyages scored a double feature on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami, first airing September 4 and again September 11. Viewers saw Housewives living their best seafaring lives, indulging in steakhouse dinners, exclusive rooftop decks, and even aerobic classes—spotlighting Virgin’s trendsetting status as Travel + Leisure’s top cruise line for 2025. Keep your social feeds ready because fans have been posting from the ships and the fanfare is palpable.

Not to be outshone, Virgin Australia is soaring into a new era with the first E190-E2 jet landing in Perth, marking a fleet upgrade with enhanced fuel efficiency and comfort. Group executive Nick Rohrlach declares this a landmark day for aviation, as the new aircraft brings not just charter muscle but a commitment to sustainable, future-ready flying.

There’s also talk of upcoming appearances: Virgin Galactic will feature at the prestigious Global Exploration Summit in Ottawa from September 12 to 14, underscoring Virgin’s ongoing gravity-defying ambitions.

Lastly, Virgin Voyages lovers are being lured by a raft of limited-time promos—$109 late-season cabin deals, bonus savings stacked up to $825 CAD for select fall and winter Caribbean sails—which probably explains the company’s social feeds being aflame with excited travel advisors and “First Mates” sharing their Brilliant Lady memories.

So, whether taking over the Big Apple, making a glossy mark on reality TV, or launching the next big thing in regional Australian aviation, Virgin Group is keeping its name, its signature red, and its founder’s unstoppable flair at the center of newsworthy action everywhere.
