The ideal place to get away from a hectic schedule and treat your
family to a relaxing holiday.
We're very excited to add some 'Harry Potter magic' to your Orlando holiday with the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure®. Make sure you're one of the first to experience it and look out for some
very special exclusive benefits for Virgin Holidays customers.
There's so much more to Florida than its theme parks though and we've found some fabulous places off the beaten track to give you a unique contrast from the man-made fun. Discover historic and tranquil Amelia Island just off the North East Coast and steeped in Southern charm, then there's Santa Rosa Beach on the Pan Handle with its quiet, wide stretches of beach, artist's colony and nature trails, or head to Vero Beach, a gentle, sophisticated and unpretentious town, on the South East Coast.
For the sporty types in your family, how about spending a day or two at our exclusive ESPN Soccer School at Disney's World of Sports© in the company of some of the Premier League's top stars.
It's been 25 years since we launched the first ever Virgin Holidays brochure to Florida and what's surprising is how little that prices have changed. It really does offer exceptional value and a holiday experience that's perfect for everyone and we can take care of whatever arrangements you need. You can fly direct on Virgin Atlantic from Gatwick, Manchester and a new twice weekly summer service from Glasgow.
We'll even help start your holiday before you leave the house. Our Concierge
service means that a local expert will call before you travel, giving you
the chance to chat about your destination. They'll take care of all your bookings
for things like theme park passes,
night time fun or spa treatments in advance too.
We know airports can be stressful so don't forget to stop by our special airport lounges, at Gatwick and Manchester,
the v-room,
for a surprisingly zen start to your holiday. It's the place for you and your
family to relax before you fly, with a free café and lots of room for
kids to play. We'll even help you jump the queues with our dedicated Fast Track
security service. And we are delighted to announce that the fantastic
v-room experience will be landing at Manchester in summer 2011.
That's why we tell you to "Ask for the World". When it comes to service, and we're talking Rockstar Service here, I wouldn't ask for anything less.
NEW Aircraft flying to Orlando!
This year Virgin Atlantic are operating brand new A330-300s on selected Orlando routes from Gatwick, Glasgow and Manchester. These new aircraft feature Economy and Premium Economy cabins.
In addition during 2012 our B747-400s operating on this route will undergo a complete
refurbishment which will see new seats being installed in Economy and Premium Economy along with our new video-on-demand inflight entertainment system. The number of aircraft with these features will increase during the year until by the end of 2012 all aircraft normally operating on these routes* will have been refurbished.
The new inflight entertainment system will enable passengers to easily search for their films of choice and create a play list for the flight. In Premium Economy passengers will be able to plug in a variety of their own mobile devices to play music,
videos, pictures and documents on the seat-back screen. Live news updates are also available amongst many other features.
The new aircraft will also enable passengers to make phone calls and send and receive texts and emails using their own mobile devices onboard!
