I’M DONE | MY VIRGIN VOYAGES CONTRACT
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Jay, the creator of The Ship Life, announces his decision to conclude his contract with Virgin Voyages at the end of the month. He explains that the delay of the Resilient Lady ship launch until 2023 has significantly impacted his professional and financial plans. Jay notes that the delay makes continuing with the rehearsal process less viable from a brand building and financial standpoint, as he has already experienced a decrease in YouTube revenue and lost money on materials purchased for the ship. He clarifies that while he views Virgin Voyages as a great company, the shift in timeline necessitates a return to his original content schedule and sponsored cruise sailings planned for 2022. Moving forward, he intends to focus on cruise industry news, tips, and ship life stories on this channel, while personal travel vlogs and more intimate updates will be shared on his other channel, Jay the Nomad. He also mentions upcoming travel plans to Mexico and Europe.
