VIRGIN Voyages has officially broken the Guinness World Record for largest gathering of people dressed as merpeople (CW 19 Oct).
Four-hundred-and-fifty-seven sailors gathered in a kaleidoscope of vibrant mermaid tails on Fri, in an event which included live music, epic makeup, selfies, stadium-style waves and Champagne showers, once the adjudicator announced the record was officially beaten.
The feat was the perfect ending to the cruise line’s six-night Halloween voyage, which was joined by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, who participated in the attempt.
