Virgin Voyages CEO SPILLS the TEA! – What’s Next in ’25 & ’26?

We recently got to sit down with Nirmal Saverimuttu, Virgin Voyages CEO, during the annual Spectacular Soiree, celebrating the Top 100 Travel Advisors in North America. Nirmal shares his thoughts on what Sailors can expect from the brand and where Virgin Voyages missed the mark. We also chatted about Scarlet Lady’s new features after her recent dry dock and what Virgin is doing in response to one of the highest repeat cruising rates in the industry. Stick around until the end because we got personal, and Nirmal even shared his secret menu hack, his go-to place to grab a bite after Scarlet Night, and one of his favorite things to do onboard with the crew.
