In your wildest dreams, you probably never thought Jennifer Lopez could have a hand in planning your vacation, right?

Well, wake up because it’s 2023, and anything is possible with AI.

The superstar singer/actress/dancer etc has joined forces with Richard Branson and Virgin Voyages, based in Plantation, to curate cruises.

OK, so you’ll never interact with her in the flesh. An artificial intelligence version of the 53-year-old mother of two, aka Jen A.I., talks you through a video and helps you tailor your adventure on the high seas and create a custom invite to share with your awestruck family and friends.

“It’s so important to me that we stop and take time to celebrate special moments in our lives, and encourage others to do the same,” said Lopez in a statement. “If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s how important it is to cherish life’s special moments with your inner circle.”

Whether it’s a 40th birthday, college graduation, 10-year anniversary, bachelorette party, guys’ getaway, or “an escape from adulting,” Lopez, as VV’s Chief Celebration Officer, cheerfully guides you through your journey through a series of clicks.

Sailors can “Jenerate” the new Jen A.I. tool by visiting VirginVoyages.com and pick from among three ships currently sailing around the globe, offering more than 40 itineraries to 100 ports of call.

“The Shotgun Wedding” star’s new boss explains why she got the job.

“Let’s be honest,” said Virgin CEO Branson, “who can say no to Jennifer?”
