Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Virgin Atlantic Holidays, formerly known as Virgin Holidays, is a prominent British tour operator specializing in long-haul travel. Founded in 1985, shortly after the launch of Virgin Atlantic Airways, the company was established to provide a seamless holiday booking experience for passengers flying on Virgin Atlantic routes. It has since grown into one of the largest transatlantic tour operators in the UK, offering a wide array of package holidays, cruises, and specialty travel programs to destinations including the USA, Caribbean, Middle East, and Far East.

The brand is headquartered in Crawley, West Sussex, England, within the same corporate complex as Virgin Atlantic Airways (known as The VHQ). As of 2026, the company continues to operate under a joint ownership structure. It is controlled by a holding company called Virgin Atlantic Limited, which is 51% owned by Richard Branson's Virgin Group and 49% by the American carrier Delta Air Lines. This partnership integrates the tour operator's services closely with the airline's global network while maintaining its distinct identity as a premier leisure travel provider.
