To assist travel advisors, the sales support team based at the line's Plantation, Florida, headquarters is growing by 150%, while field sales managers are increasing by 55% and a dedicated sales manager will be based in Canada.

Virgin Voyages is also doubling its team in South Florida and adding representatives in the Carolinas and Tennessee (to be based in Charlotte) and in eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey and Ohio (to be based in Newark or Philadelphia). As announced earlier this year, the line has also started partnering with advisors in Puerto Rico ahead of Valiant Lady’s calls at San Juan starting in November.
