| Resilient through tests

VIRGIN Voyages’ Resilient Lady has completed her final sea trial from Sestri Shipyard in Genoa.

The trial aimed to test Resilient’s speed, which reached an impressive 23 knots (42kmh).

“We’re continuing to work closely with the Fincantieri team to get Resilient Lady ready before her debut in Aug out of Athens,” Virgin said.

“Together, our marine teams are testing her safety systems, automation, power generation and propulsion systems.”

Virgin noted that it witnessed its strongest day of bookings ever last week, following the CDC’s update (CW 31 Mar).
