Sir Richard Branson has raised an additional 550 million dollars to continue with his expansion plans for Virgin Cruises. Palma is one of the key ports in the Mediterranean for Branson's cruise fleet. It is rumoured that the Virgin tycoon, who opened a hotel in Banyalbufar earlier this year and is planning to open another in Ibiza, wants to combine his cruise and hotel interests. It has been reported that Virgin clients would be offered the opportunity of staying in one of Branson's hotels and then continuing with their cruise.

Poor Mallorca is going to drown in a sea of high power electrical cables and towering pollution belching cruise ships. So much for environmentally friendly, quality tourism :{
God help Palma! Because the port authority and politicians aren’t!
Only good news if you love pollution, overcrowding in Palma’s streets and destruction of the beautiful clear sea :(
