  • Climeon Completes Sea Trials with Virgin Voyages and Fincantieri
    CLIMEON COMPLETES SEA TRIALS WITH VIRGIN VOYAGES AND FINCANTIERI Climeon has successfully passed the Sea Trials for Virgin Voyages first ship, the Scarlet Lady. At the end of 2017, Climeon passed the Factory Acceptance Test for the first order from Virgin Voyages and Fincantieri. Since then, the modules have been installed onboard Virgin Voyages first ship, the Scarlet Lady. Now another big milestone has been reached as the ship, including the Heat Power modules, has successfully completed the Sea Trials, where the ship is tested at sea for the first time. - This is a big milestone for Climeon, we have been working towards this goal for many years. I am very proud of all of our employees who have contributed to the installation onboard the Scarlet Lady, says Thomas Öström, CEO of Climeon. Climeon has been onboard the Scarlet Lady for the first round of sea trials, sailing from Genoa to Marseille, and then back from Marseille to Genoa. The Heat Power modules performed as expected and were approved in the Sea Trials. The first cruise for the Scarlet Lady is scheduled for April 2020. - We’re thrilled to have completed such a significant milestone with our Sea Trials and have our amazing crew to thank for their passion and tenacity in this achievement. We’re one step closer to getting our Sailors on the Scarlet Lady and can confirm that the Scarlet Lady is running smooth and we’re happy with Climeon’s performance, said Tom McAlpin, Virgin Voyages CEO. In addition to the Scarlet Lady, Climeon has delivered Heat Power modules to Virgin Voyages next two ships, leading with the Valiant Lady which is currently being built.

  • “Resilient Lady”, La Terza Nave Extralusso Del Gruppo Virgin Di Fabio Canessa 02 Luglio 2021 – 10:29
    1 Fincantieri: varata a Genova “Resilient Lady”, la terza nave extralusso del gruppo Virgin di Fabio Canessa 02 Luglio 2021 – 10:29 Genova. È stata varata questa mattina nello stabilimentoFincantieri di Sestri Ponente Resilient Lady, la terza delle navi da crociera extralusso ordinate dal gruppo Virgin Voyages di Richard Branson al cantiere navale genovese. La cerimonia di varo tecnico, che consiste nell’allagamento del bacino in cui la nave viene costruita, è avvenuta in forma ristretta senza pubblico a causa delle norme anti-Covid che impediscono l’accesso al cantiere da parte di persone non addette ai lavori. LaResilient Lady, una volta portata in galleggiamento, dovrà restare in cantiere all’incirca un altro anno per terminare tutte le finiture e gli allestimenti interni. Come le due gemelle Scarlet Lady e Valiant Lady, la nave ha una stazza lorda di circa 110mila tonnellate, è lunga 278 metri e larga 38. È dotata di oltre 1.400 cabine in grado di ospitare a bordo più di 2.770 passeggeri, assistiti da un equipaggio di 1.160 persone. La qualità della vita a bordo è garantita dalla certificazione “comfort class”, che attesta livelli minimi di rumore e vibrazione percepiti, e da un utilizzo estensivo della domotica, grazie alla quale gli ospiti sono in grado di gestire un’ampia serie di funzioni della cabina (condizionamento, illuminazione, apertura e chiusura delle tende, musica e televisione) attraverso un’app da installare sul proprio smartphone. Genova24.it - 1 / 2 - 26.09.2021 2 Proprio ieri Valiant Lady, la cui costruzione è appena terminata a Sestri Ponente, è stata ufficialmente consegnata all’armatore e il 4 luglio prenderà il largo verso il porto di Civitavecchia, in attesa della prima crociera che dovrebbe avvenire nel novembre 2022.

    VIRGIN CRUISES SETS SAIL UNDER NEW MONIKER “VIRGIN VOYAGES” Sir Richard Branson’s Cruise Line Reveals New Name & Icon, A Signed Ship Building Contract and A World First Clean Energy Partnership MIAMI – Oct. 18, 2016 – Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson today revealed Virgin Voyages as the inspiring new identity for the company’s cruise line. Joined by the company’s President and CEO Tom McAlpin, they announced the name, and shared that Virgin Voyages has officially signed a ship building contract for three vessels with Italian master shipbuilder Fincantieri, and that the company will be the first cruise line to adopt the clean energy system, Climeon Ocean. The revealing event held at the Faena Hotel Miami Beach featured a stunning theatrical performance where Sir Richard appeared with two performers who danced on deck chairs in front of an audience of international news media, Miami politicos and business leaders. Sir Richard expressed Virgin Voyages’ commitment to changing cruising for good. “Thousands of future sailors and travel professionals shared their thoughts with us and tasked us with delivering the most irresistible vacation at sea and that our name alone should leave them dizzy with anticipation,” said Sir Richard. “I’m excited to reveal we are now Virgin Voyages, and while we have lots of work ahead to build our three ships, we can’t wait to welcome you aboard the ship of things to come.” Virgin Voyages, backed by lead investors Bain Capital Private Equity and Virgin Group, expects the multi- billion dollar financing package for the purchase of its three ships to be finalized shortly.
