Making Ship Happen
Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady promises to shake up the cruise industry when it lauches this month. Here’s how Voyage Store can help you join the revolution
The wait is finally over – Scarlet Lady, the first ship from Virgin Voyages, Richard Branson’s revolutionary cruise line, has arrived. Featuring spaces designed by some of the top names in contemporary interiors, the adult-only ship promises to provide a sanctuary at sea for the savvy traveller. With world-class entertainment and more than 20 intimate eateries on board, Virgin Voyages puts a new twist on luxury travel. With all restaurants, group fitness classes, soft drinks, and much more included within the voyage fare, it offers
simplicity and value for money in the more stylish of settings. Dining options include Korean BBQ, steakhouses, an international food market, with Virgin Voyages having ditched the one-big-dining hall and buffet experience. The line says it is swapping classic Broadway productions for “never before seen at sea exhilarating, contemporary and immersive entertainment”. Scarlet Lady will sail from Miami to the Caribbean in 2020, hosting more than 2,770 guests and 1,160 crew from around the world. Hot on its heels its sister ship, Valiant Lady, will sail the Mediterranean with seven-night itineraries setting sail from its homeport in Barcelona from May 2021. First Mates rates
