The very first cruise liner of Richard Branson is to sail in the new waters. It has already made a bold pitch to young travelers at the most awkward time for the entire industry. Richard Branson, the virgin founder of ‘The Scarlet Lady’ cruise ship, launched it on the 21st of February 2020.
The cruise has a modern setting with an adults-only rule that is attracting the vast population of young vacationers to have an ultimate experience at the cruise. The ship is anchored at the Port of Dover, England and will come into working in April. It will mainly cover the areas around the Caribbean Sea from its base point in Miami.

As I’ve dreamt of starting my very own cruise line ever since I was in my 20s and the moment has finally arrived.
