In 1984 Richard Branson announced to the world that a high quality, value for money airline would begin operating within three months. Three months, some licences, staff and an aircraft packed with celebrities later, Virgin Atlantic Airways was born. By the end of the decade Virgin Atlantic had flown over 1 million passengers and started shaking up services onboard by being the first airline to offer individual TVs to their business class passengers.

Welcome to our worldwide adventures. Virgin Holidays has got together with Intrepid to bring you a fantastic selection of adventure holidays, designed to give your clients much more than just a tour of the sights. Instead, they'll visit amazing places, meet fascinating people and get involved in a fun range of activities. Local accommodation and local transport complete the experience, giving an incredible insight into the way people around the world really live. Small groups characterise our tours, we believe the less people there are, the more you'll enjoy! By avoiding large groups, we avoid overwhelming the people and places we visit, getting to grips with local culture much easier. It's also like travelling with a group of friends - the only difference is you haven't met them yet!
