Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady starred in the opening episode of the latest series of BBC One’s The Apprentice on Thursday night (6 January), which left the travel industry bemused by Lord Alan Sugar’s latest crop of wannabe business tycoons’ new take on cruising.

The testing requirement will be dropped on European sailings from Sunday (24 July) and Wednesday (27 July) for cruises from the US

Two teams were tasked with creating, marketing and selling a new cruise line after they boarded the vessel in Portsmouth.

After much deliberation as to who would be the team captains, the groups settled on the names "Bouji Cruises" and "Never-Ending Nautical" for their new companies.

One particular aspect which caught the eye of viewers was Never-Ending Nautical’s brand logo, which Virgin Voyage’s associate vice president of international sales, Shane Riley, described via Twitter as "you know, green and brown, like a tree".
