Nathan Buckley and partner Brodie Ryan were among the well-known faces to attend an epic party aboard Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady.

The celebration marked the cruise liner’s Melbourne arrival on the eve of her much-anticipated Australian MerMaiden voyage.

Docked at Station Pier on Sunday night, Melbourne’s hottest celebrities including Brendan and Alex Fevola, Maria Thattil and Moana Hope, Olivia Molly Rogers, Amy Pejkovic and David Zaharakis walked the ship’s red carpet in style.

The ladies all wore a glamorous touch of Virgin Red in honour of the special event.

Attendees also included Jack and Mikayla Crisp, Hugh Sheridan, Matt Agnew, Sharon Johal, David and Tahan Reynolds, Sophie Cachia, Gary and Madi Rohan, Baker Boy and Casey Donovan, who all enjoyed dinner at one of the ship’s many restaurants.

Virgin Voyages’ Chief Executive Officer Nirmal Saverimuttu said “we wanted to make an epic splash in Melbourne – one that would match the excitement we have about our summer season here – and we certainly accomplished that.”

“Not only did we raise funds for ocean conservation, a noble cause that’s deeply ingrained in our brand ethos, but we gave Melbourne a small taste of what they can expect all summer long. We hope that with the incredible value we offer our Sailors, local residents will give us a chance and experience what it means to set sail the Virgin way,” Mr Saverimuttu said.

Sir Richard Branson will farewell the huge 277m-long ship which can carry more than 2700 passengers and about 1160 crew members as she sets sail around Tasmania.
