Richard Branson has pledged to keep his Virgin Voyages fleet as sustainable as possible, promising to even offer guests “coral-reef friendly” suncream.

The business mogul and Virgin Group founder made a surprise appearance at the Clia Conference in Portsmouth, where he entertained the 750 agent delegates with his vision for Virgin Voyages.

“I hate buffets – I want a very different type of cruise. I want to get people on a cruise who have never cruised before”.

He insisted sustainability was key: “We know suncream is damaging to coral reefs so we’ll have special tubs of suncream that are reef friendly.”
