Sir Richard Branson 'sails' around London handing out free Virgin cruise tickets

Sir Richard Branson was spotted “sailing” through the streets of central London today – on a double-decker bus-turned-ship. The iconic entrepreneur was carried aloft a street-sized version of his real-life cruise liner, Scarlet Lady, surprising passers-by on Embankment, White City, Piccadilly, Regent Street, and Oxford Circus.

Richard Branson, who took part in the stunt to launch the Virgin Voyages “Med Season” – offering voyages sailing from Barcelona and Athens this May, and from Portsmouth this August – said: “It’s been wonderful to go aboard Scarlet Lady this morning, sailing around and surprising lucky Londoners with free voyages.

Celebrating their 32nd wedding anniversary today, Yutta and her husband Allen Merilanen were in the right place at the right time, as they were gifted a free cruise trip by Sir Richard Branson himself. Winners who also received vouchers were screaming and cheering Aamir Malik, and marathon runner, Olivia Kelly – winning a trip ahead of her race this weekend.
