“For more than 50 years, Virgin companies have been bringing innovation to industries,” says Branson. “Virgin Voyages (@virginvoyages) is very much charting our own path, offering a fresh perspective on cruise travel with a mix of the familiar and a healthy dose of Virgin satisfaction.”
With over 20 eateries on board ranging from Michelin-starred menus to Korean barbecue at sea; groundbreaking entertainment from esteemed producers and directors; wellness programming with fitness classes and five-star spa and relaxation services; and an adults-only environment that caters to a sophisticated, 18-and-over crowd, Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady is an adult playground for guilt-free opulence and extravagance.

No need or want is too grand, as it provides a true five-star experience with outstanding service and cutting-edge efficiency. With its new trademark program, Shake for Champagne, guests can request a glass of Champagne at any time, any place, through a simple shake of their phone—the “ask and you shall receive” mentality ringing true throughout the entire journey.

During its inaugural season, Scarlet Lady will sail throughout the Caribbean, as well as Mexican voyages, ranging from four- to five-night sails through paradise. Opt for the fall Fire & Sunset Soirees, which traverses through Nassau and Beach Club at Bimini, complete with restorative morning yoga classes, poolside lounging and sunset bonfires with live DJ sets. Or experience the vibrant Mexican culture with the five-night Riviera Maya sailings through Cozumel and Playa del Carmen.
While all journeys offered are unique in programming and destination, the unbeatable atmosphere and uninterrupted state of bliss remain consistent. With 1,330 cabins on board and 78 RockStar quarters featuring luxurious amenities like rainfall showers, ambient mood lighting and smart controls, you’ll slip into paradise from the moment you embark on this great adventure.

Keeping health and safety top of mind, sailors, crew and all guests will be tested for COVID-19 prior to boarding, which is paid for by the brand, ensuring the safest experience possible.
“With Michelin-starred dining, an incredible spa, phenomenal on-board entertainment and amazing crew, our promise is to deliver a sophisticated, yet relaxed, adult-only experience—free of formality, where ordinary becomes extraordinary,” says President and CEO of Virgin Voyages Tom McAlpin, “We call this ‘Setting Sail the Virgin Way.’”
