Sir Richard Branson’s adults-only cruise company announced the news on Tuesday. Tom McAlpin, Virgin Voyages' president and CEO, voiced hope that President Biden’s recent directive for states to make all adults eligible for vaccines by May 1 means that can U.S. cruises can resume sooner rather than later.
