Resilient Lady will instead reposition in the Caribbean

The operator has announced that its award-winning vessel Resilient Lady will no longer reposition in Australia late this year due to the significant risks the tensions pose to “sailors, cruise and vessel”. 

 

“These adjustments are happening now in order to minimise potential future disruption to our passengers’ holiday plans knowing there is a high likelihood that changes would need to happen in the future,” Virgin Voyages said.
