Save Water, Drink Champagne
On Demand Champagne? It Must Be A Virgin Voyage!
You know the feeling - the moonlight is shimmering on the ocean, the mood is right, you are craving bubbles and you want them NOW!
Virgin Voyages, the lifestyle cruise brand delights in its exclusive on-demand champagne delivery service, Shake for Champagne. Creating the most irresistible experiences at sea, Virgin Voyages enables Sailors to request champagne, anywhere on board its Lady Sips (Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady), with a simple shake of their phone.
Those looking to take indulgence to the next level, can also treat themselves in the luxurious champagne lounge and caviar bar, Sip, where the Moët flows and you can even indulge in a champagne afternoon tea.
“It is never too early for champagne and there is always something to toast to while aboard. We want our Sailors to enjoy a glamorous holiday and what better way to feel like a RockStar than a sip of bubbly whenever and wherever you want it,” said Tom Mcalpin, president and CEO of Virgin Voyages.
SHAKE FOR CHAMPAGNE
Virgin Voyages gives its Sailors one more reason to celebrate all of life’s moments with its on-demand delivery service, Shake for Champagne. When the Virgin Voyages Sailor App is shaken, a secret Virgin Voyages Champagne button is revealed and, with just one press, a bottle of Möet Chandon Impérial will be delivered to the Sailor. Don’t worry, you can’t order by accident, you do need to confirm on the App before your order goes through.
“There’s nothing more luxurious than having champagne at your beck and call or even a shake. We are committed to creating the world’s most irresistible travel brand, so we thought long and hard about how to help our Sailors effortlessly get a sip of bubbly during their voyage, and presto Shake for Champagne was conjured up!” said Nathan Rosenberg, CMO for Virgin Voyages.
Delivered in an eye-catching, gleaming Virgin red champagne bucket, which is sure to make everyone around envious ,(sorry, you can’t keep it!) , the service includes a 750ml bottle of Möet Chandon Imperial with two glasses. Möet Chandon Imperial is a blend of over 200 crus, mingling the full body of pinot noir with the suppleness of Meunier and the finesse of chardonnay – the perfect pairing for a day or evening sailing in the warm Caribbean sea. At the time of writing the cost of this indulgence ( some might say necessity) is $95.
SIP
Sip is a decadent lounge designed to be enjoyed with a chilled glass of bubbles. Featuring a diverse curation of champagne labels, including Moët Chandon – Virgin Voyages’ featured champagne house. Sailors can opt for a glass of bubbles priced from around $10 or splash out on a $1,000 vintage bottle. In a nod to Virgin’s quintessential British heritage and eccentricity, Sip will offer a signature afternoon high tea, which will delight the eyes as well as the taste buds, while celebrating oceanic elements.
Designed by the Virgin Voyages design team, with spatial design by HKS Hospitality Interiors, the lounge was inspired by the glamour and effervescence of champagne. Featuring a long marble bar with rose-gold inlay, Sip encourages Sailors to indulge in one of the most luxurious pairings of them all, champagne and caviar. Gold and rose-pink hues echo the colour of the champagnes that is served, and are beautifully offset by deep watery blues and carrara white marble bars and tables. The deep ocean blue banquette wall and carpet that wraps through the space, creates a chance to revel or relax at all times of day as the ship sails through the ocean’s blue waves.
