Our Sailors have shown us that shared connection matters deeply to them, and this gives us a way to bring that feeling to more people, wherever they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the production company is new, the concept originated with another of Virgin\u2019s shows, <em>Duel Reality<\/em>. The acrobatic retelling of <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em> has been performed almost 300 times in Asia and Europe, with additional dates scheduled for Hong Kong in 2026. <em>Duel Reality<\/em> is currently available on Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Brilliant Lady.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhen we started Virgin Voyages, our goal was to create entertainment so original and unforgettable that people would want to experience it anywhere. With <em>Duel Reality<\/em> making waves on land and <em>Booked<\/em> set to follow, that vision is becoming a reality. We\u2019re proud to see our creations resonate far beyond our Lady Ships and to share that Virgin energy with audiences around the world,\u201d said Kilman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Next: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/bobby-flay-helmed-cruise-norwegian-183608928.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:This Bobby Flay-Helmed Cruise on Norwegian Brings a Food Festival to the High Seas;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">This Bobby Flay-Helmed Cruise on Norwegian Brings a Food Festival to the High Seas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/virgin-voyages-launches-first-of-its-kind-production-company\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade<\/a> on Nov 25, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
