VIRGIN Voyages has recruited a group of world-class athletes to join its team via specialised private investment platform Patricof Co.
With a roster including professional tennis player Venus Williams, basketball superstars Blake Griffin and Kemba Walker, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Patricof will work with Virgin to establish an Athlete Advisory Council, which will play an active role in designing experiences for the cruise line’s sailors to “ensure the Virgin Voyages sailings are distinct from other holidays.”
The athletes will also work collaboratively with Virgin on sustainability initiatives.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Virgin Voyages and helping to bring this incredible experience to the US,” said Williams, who grew up just a few hours from Miami, Scarlet Lady’s homeport.
“Travelling and taking in different cultures is so important to me and I’m excited to work with this team to deliver that opportunity to more customers.”
