Virgin Voyages Overview

Virgin Voyages' adults-only luxury cruises are inspired by the brand's design concept - the Modern Romance of Sailing. Building on the company's mission to redefine what those expect from a sea vacation and thus create an Epic Sea Change For All, Virgin Voyages has carefully curated a 'Creative Collective' featuring some of the world's leading interior design firms, none of whom have ever designed for the cruise industry before. The company's first ship, Scarlet Lady, will feature the Caribbean as one of her voyage destinations during her inaugural season in 2020.

Virgin Voyages Ships

The Adult By Design (18+) brand will offer the newest and most beautifully designed ships, ensuring that their sailors get to their destinations in style. Virgin Voyages has partnered with Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio in London, Roman and Williams in New York, Concrete Amsterdam, Softroom in London and WorkAC in New York. Virgin Voyages' first ship, the Scarlet Lady, is due for delivery in 2020.

Virgin Voyages opted to use multiple interior designers, in order to focus on the strengths of each firm and to show diversity throughout the ship, using the principle of the Modern Romance of Sailing as the guiding star to a cohesive vision. Within the brand ethos, modern is representative of a contemporary holiday aesthetic paired with romance, which offers a nod to a love of the historical glamour and sophistication of a sea voyage. Classic nautical elements such as steel, brass and portholes are tastefully sprinkled throughout the ship so that Virgin Voyages sailors are always conscious that they are sailing at sea.

Virgin Voyages Destinations

Virgin Voyages' invites you to get new perspectives on the Caribbean. Scarlet Lady will spend her inaugural season sailing to ports like Puerto Plata, Costa Maya, Key West and more! All of her sailings will also feature stops in their exclusive Beach Club in the Bahamas.

Scarlet Lady's sister ship, Valiant Lady, will set sail from her home port of Barcelona in her inaugural season. Spend your holiday in irresistible Mediterranean cities like Marseille, Monaco, Marina di Carrara in Tuscany & more. All of Valiant Lady's sailings will feature an overnight in the beach club mecca of Ibiza.

Virgin Voyages Dining

Virgin Voyages will bring city-like eating to sea and throw out the traditional cruise dining rule book, with no buffet, no main dining room, no forced formal wear, no assigned seating, no assigned dining times and enhanced the choice for sailors to grab a bite by keeping restaurant doors open until well into the night and in some cases the early hours of the morning.

Wake

Situated in a 5,866 square foot restaurant at the aft of the ship, Wake offers sailors a dramatic view of the ship's wake. Serving a theatrical take on steak and seafood, Wake is the most glamorous restaurant on the ship with an experience inspired by The Wolseley - London and The Grill - New York, and a dramatic grand staircase. Offerings include a raw bar (design inspired by the bow of a speedboat), land and sea classics, a table-side cocktail cart and a Sommelier led Magnum program.

Razzle Dazzle

With an interior scheme that nods to the namesake, the bold camouflaging of ships from WWI using patterns of black and white paint, Razzle Dazzle was designed by Concrete Amsterdam. With vibrant and creative twists on vegetarian fare and a juice bar. Razzle Dazzle delivers a healthy dose of nice with just the right amount of wrong. The "nice" menu offers plant-based vegetarian and vegan dishes including must have munchies such as the Impossible Burger. The "naughty" side enables sailors to order meat "add-ons" and offers to spike their healthy smoothies with boozy shots.

To live up to the boldness of its name, Razzle Dazzle will not simply brunch but rather Drag Brunch, where sailors are treated to a performance by the Scarlet Lady's resident drag performer and friends. For a small fee, sailors can opt to enjoy bottomless drag-inspired cocktails like the "Yasss Queen" and the Rizzle Dizzle, a CBD infused cocktail.

The Test Kitchen

The Test Kitchen will offer sailors innovative and avant-garde cuisine in a clean and modern space. Inspired by Escoffier's Ma Cuisine, this laboratory-like eatery is part cooking school and part restaurant, making it the ultimate place for discovery through cuisine with an atmosphere that is educational, experiential and social all in one. The chef-driven set menus are presented in the form of an ingredient list to Sailors who will discover how the chef combines the list of flavors throughout the course of the meal.

This eatery hosts a number of different experiences throughout the voyage from cooking classes, to mixology school to coffee labs, and even a few late-night lock-ins, where sailors will be invited to raid the chef's fridge and dig into a midnight feast.

Geonbae

Geonbae, the equivalent of the expression bottoms up in Korean, is a Korean BBQ restaurant. Hosted by the loudest servers at sea, each meal will begin with a complimentary round of soju for the table and throughout the evening sailors are encouraged to take part in lively Korean drinking games. A social, hands on, interactive, fun dining experience, Geonbae features specially engineered flameless grills built into each table and invites Sailors to literally play with their food as they cook their perfect BBQ.

Pink Agave

An elevated Mexican restaurant, Pink Agave transports sailors to the vibrant streets of Mexico City through immersive void lighting. Offering a wide variety of Mexican specialties that inspire sailors to discover authentic Mexican flavors including tlayudas, memelas, sopes, tortas, esquites, and tamales. Pink Agave's dishes can be paired with a cocktail from the Scarlet Lady's expansive collection of mezcals, or signature Agua Fresca cocktails. Pink Agave is designed to be a lively shared plate restaurant experience, where the DJ amps up the energy of the room as the evening hours slip away.

The dock is a perfect place to hang day and night. Set in the ship's sun-dappled lounging area at the aft of the ship on deck 7, The Dock is a beach club-inspired space.
