Given that Virgin Voyages has not even had one paying guest on it yet, how long can that enterprise survive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimee0715 Posted August 12, 2020 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I hope they recover. We flew home from London on Virgin Atlantic in first class (which they call "upper class") and it was really top notch from start to finish. The most impressive flight experience I have ever had. That experience was one of the things that made me so excited to see what he could do with a cruise ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marketing of the Brightline train with the Virgin name is gone, but the Brightline trains themselves remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branson didn't pay them, he must be out of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
