Sailing into the Sunset: The Brilliant Lady’s Crew and Sailors Unite in Song as They Enter New York Harbor

As the Brilliant Lady cruised gracefully into New York Harbor on September 2nd, a remarkable celebration unfolded onboard. Crew members and passengers joined voices to perform Queen’s upbeat anthem “Don’t Stop Me Now,” creating a vibrant musical moment on the ship’s upper decks, led by Astrid Jorgensen from Pub Choir.

Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group and a passenger, noted that this moment heralded the completion of Virgin Voyages’ fleet, highlighting that the energy derived from both crew and guests makes the experience unique. He expressed that this collective performance encapsulated the spirit of Virgin Voyages beautifully.

Nirmal Saverimuttu, the cruise line’s CEO, remarked on how this gathering of voices reflected the essence of the Brilliant Lady, emphasizing a joyful and welcoming environment that fosters genuine connections among individuals. First Mate Jana stated that the experience highlighted the ship’s ethos: transforming strangers into family and showcasing the importance of every voice.

This joyful serenade was more than a celebratory act; it marked the impending "MerMaiden Voyage" starting from New York on September 5th, heading for Bermuda, with additional sailings planned across Northeastern and Eastern Canada before engaging with Florida and beyond.
