About the role
Virgin Voyages is seeking a hospitality-first experience curator and strategic planner to serve as Groups Experience Planning & Delivery Lead — designing and delivering exceptional group voyages across our fleet. This role goes beyond logistics: you are the architect of the moments that make groups rebook. From charters and incentive programs to weddings, milestone celebrations, and curated getaways, you will own the group journey end-to-end — building trusted relationships, programming bespoke experiences, and proactively driving incremental onboard revenue through consultative add-on engagement. You will also serve as Product Owner for one or more ships in the VV fleet, acting as the dedicated shore-side point of contact for all group activity on your assigned vessel(s) and owning the relationship between planning, servicing, and shipboard execution. You bring rebellious hospitality to every interaction and leave every group feeling like the voyage was designed just for them. Virgin Voyages is committed to being an Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from qualified, eligible applicants regardless of their sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, pregnancy and maternity. Our greatest strength comes from our ability to come together as unique individuals -- we seek to always embrace and celebrate our differences, providing an inclusive workplace environment that allows you to be your best self.
