After long and detailed negotiations with Bain Capital, one of the world’s leading private investment firms, we agreed to one of the biggest deals in Virgin’s history. In June 2015, I took a helicopter ride across Biscayne Bay and landed at Miami’s Museum Park. I was in town to announce that PortMiami would be the home of Virgin Voyages’ first cruise ship. Renowned Italian shipbuilders Fincantieri are building three midsize ships for us, with the first ready to sail in 2020 and the next two following in 2021 and 2022.
Virgin is all over the map- airlines, spaceships, hotels, records, banks, gyms, trains, ships, and their non profits.
