Two renderings of the planned two newbuildings of Virgin Cruises, the new cruise shipping unit of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group business empire, have surfaced on the internet.
The first one of images, posted on cruisecurrents.com, shows a large vessel with a red hull and forward part of the superstructure built entirely of glass plus X-form bow, which curves backwards rather than forwards in order to improve seakeeping qualities.
The second picture shows a vessel from the stern. The superstructure is split in two, as in the Oasis class vessels of Royal Caribbean International. Near the stern, as part of an outdoor arena, there is a large sky diving simulator, which rises to the height of the superstructure. Neither rendering is dated nor do they provide any additional information.
