Previously, Virgin Voyages revealed their unorthodox ship manufacturing process.
Bosses revealed that they enlisted the help of designers who had never been sailing before.
By choosing those without a big knowledge of boats, the company hopes that the end result will be more creative than ever before.
Designer Tom Dixon told Conde Nast Traveler: “Its quite risky, what Virgin Voyages are trying to do, getting a bunch of (designers) whove never been on a cruise before.
“But there's a logic to that madness. If youre going to encourage a new demographic to cruise, then why not use designers whove never been on one? We think, 'what would entice you to go on a cruise?'"
