According to Virgin and Fincantieri, all the upcoming liners will be environmentally friendly. Besides, ships will operate adult-only sailings. It's interesting to know that the cruise line’s authorities call the future guests ‘sailors’. It sounds great, doesn’t it?
Though the first groundbreaking liner is expected to depart on her maiden sailing in the year 2020, the company already offers travelers to place a $500 deposit. It’ll give you a unique opportunity to be among the first lucky beggars to choose a cabin on the ship. And this deposit will go towards your cruise. BTW, the Virgin’s first liner will take its sailors to the welcoming Caribbean.

The 110,000-ton liner will accommodate 2,800 passengers. She’ll offer year-round Caribbean cruises departing from Miami. You can read more about the company here.
