Get ready to set sail with one of the most innovative minds in hospitality.

In this episode, we're joined by Colin Hughes, Director of Operations & Experience at Virgin Voyages. From spa decks to tattoo studios, Colin walks us through how Virgin is redefining the cruise experience, making it simpler, sexier, and more sustainable.

We dive into:

  • How Virgin Voyages creates stress-free, all-inclusive adventures for adults only
  • Personalization strategies that keep both sailors and crew at the heart of the experience
  • What hotels can learn from Virgin’s award-winning approach to entertainment, F&B, and sustainability
  • Colin’s inspiring journey from Manchester to becoming a U.S. citizen, cruise industry veteran, and change-maker at Virgin
