Virgin Group BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Virgin Group has been buzzing with activity lately and the headlines have been bold. Halloween is looking more fabulous than ever as Virgin Voyages gets ready for its October 10 True Crime Voyage out of Miami, teaming with iHeartPodcasts for onboard live shows and meet-and-greets from the likes of Betrayal and Buried Bones. This cruise blends sun, luxury, and nightly true crime mysteries with cocktails, plus podcasting workshops for aspiring audio stars. Virgin Voyages also announced big August deals: seventy percent off a second sailor, balcony upgrades, and up to three hundred dollars in onboard credit, according to Insider Weekly. The company just launched a simplified wearable band and rolled out tablet-based Ship Eats room service, streamlining the sailor experience. Their loyalty game has a new diamond twist — the VV Insider Diamonds Program lets you earn and redeem diamond points for onboard perks and style.
Meanwhile, the Virgin brand was spotted all over Instagram, from fans raving about cruises with hashtags to hospitality groups touring the brand-new Virgin Hotels NYC, which boasts over fifteen thousand square feet of event space as showcased by Best Venues Group. Graham Norton made headlines with his return to Virgin Radio, broadcasting live from Virgin Hotels Edinburgh on August 4.
Virgin Galactic delivered their Q2 2025 financial report, confirming their commercial space service is planned for 2026 and making noise on social media channels with updates and a webcast on August 6 for investors and enthusiasts. According to their official announcement, these plans include private astronaut flights for clients, reinforcing Virgin’s ambitions in the commercial space race.
Richard Branson was front and center at Manchester’s “Doorbell of Dreams” event, a new initiative with entrepreneur Simon Squibb letting over seventy hopefuls pitch business ideas — think Dragon’s Den but Branson-style, focused on breakthrough British entrepreneurship, ManchesterWorld reported.
Virgin’s legal world is seeing turbulence too. Alaska Airlines is still fighting to get out of the eight million dollar annual royalty payments for using the Virgin brand post–Virgin America takeover. But with Virgin Atlantic offering domestic rewards on Delta through Flying Club, the trademark battle has intensified, even pulling Delta into the fray for documents as One Mile At A Time reports. It’s a tangled scene with potential implications for the brand’s U.S. presence and points programs, though how the legal drama ends is still uncertain.
Virgin Group’s social media mentions remain steady, with playful cruise posts and hotel showcases driving engagement. No major negative news or controversies have surfaced in mainstream reporting this week, and business momentum feels strong. The ongoing innovations in travel, loyalty, hospitality, and commercial spaceflight suggest Virgin Group is keeping its cultural and entrepreneurial edge, with Richard Branson still the ever-present catalyst for its next chapter.
