Debuting in 2021, Scarlet Lady is the first of four Virgin Voyages cruise ships. Aimed at the 'adult by design' crowd so all sailors are over 18, Scarlet Lady was designed by people who have never cruised themselves, and who are therefore well placed to give first-time and previous non-cruisers the amenities and features to attract them. With her truly unique outline, colour scheme and deck plans, you’re sure to notice her in any Caribbean port - not to mention the iconic mermaid emblazoned on her bow in contrast to the flying lady of Virgin Atlantic airways.

Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady is the first large cruise ship to throw away the idea of providing a buffet dining venue as one of their staple restaurants, as well as having no set dining times or dress code. Instead, sailors will find more than twenty individual, made-to-order restaurants, cafés, lounges and various other dining venues including:
As well giving you the chance to sample fresh flavours from all over the globe while sunning it up in the Caribbean, Virgin Voyages are revolutionising cruise cuisine in more ways too. Banning single use plastics such as cutlery, packaging or straws from their food preparation and serving methods, Virgin Voyages are not only looking to make dining at sea clean for your body, but also for the oceans.
Onboard Scarlet, Lady Virgin Voyages transport sailors to a hedonistic adults’ playground where every moment is filled with excitement or relaxation depending on how you like it. Moving away from classic Broadway productions, the entertainment onboard is more akin to a festival lineup, with immersive, contemporary shows developed by world-famous producers, choreographers and directors.
With Scarlet Lady you’ll find a fantastic variety of entertainment performances in The Red Room theatre, the ship's main performance space. With a retractable stage and varying set ups to host the six shows, you’ll be able to see anything from acrobatics to cheeky cabaret in The Red Room during your adventure on Scarlet Lady.
As if that wasn’t enough, while soaking up the sunshine on Scarlet Lady’s decks, 80 flashmob-style shows pop up throughout the day to bring fun-filled entertainment that truly breaks the fourth wall.
Other venues include:
As well as offering unrivalled dining options, Virgin Voyages also revolutionise how you spend your time onboard. With their new concept Vitamin Sea, Virgin Voyages mix your onboard activities into a balance of detox and retox, to makes sure you go home truly rejuvenated and refreshed.
Examples of retox include:

Staff Review - My balcony cabin was super spacious, clean, well-equipped and had a great view. The Test Kitchen was my top pick of dining venues, with great service, creative dishes, and a really pleasant environment, and Razzle Dazzle for tasty breakfasts with a great choice of options in a jazzy space. During the day I was happy chilling around on different decks and bars as there are plenty of spaces and choices. In terms of entertainment I really enjoyed the comedy and dance performances with great costumes, singing and audience participation. To sum up I think Virgin Voyages are fantastic when it comes to the very modern technology on the ship, the great food choices, especially for healthy eaters, the wonderful crew and well arranged on-shore visits.

Staff Review - It was a lovely balcony cabin with a nice bed, TV and and iPad remote control with which I could control the TV, lights, curtains and also order room service. Razzle Dazzle was my favourite dining venue, as it had plenty of vegetarian options, and the Pizza Place where you can go almost anytime of the day and order a customised pizza of your choice of toppings. Amazing both of these and other dining options are included in the standard price! I also loved the gym with the latest equipment and running track, and relaxing afterwards in the wonderful Redemption Spa. In terms of nightlife The Manor nightclub has live DJs and loads of entertainment at the Red Room theatre. Kash, Sales
Service was excellent, staff was excellent, food when we could get into the restaurant was excellent, the app was absolutely rubbish it kept throwing us out and we couldn’t book anything I was very disappointed and I would not recommend it to anybody else until it has been sorted out properly.
What an amazing ship to have gone on for our first ever cruise! The facilities onboard were brilliant, we had a cabin with a balcony which had its own hammock to relax in. All of the restaurants that we are at were incredible, the food was first class and we didn’t have a single bad meal! The staff throughout the shop were so attentive, polite and hard working, they were always happy to help with any issue or question. The ship has a lot of fitness classes that are included for you to book, the only downside I could see was that if you didn’t really want to do fitness activities then there wasn’t a great deal of other activities to do. The show we saw was very good and entertaining with some amazing performances, the scarlet night was also good fun. We had no excursions due to this just being an all at sea cruise, with excursions in place then this may solve the small issue of a lack of activities that are fitness based. I would definitely recommend this cruise to other but try to book and activities or restaurants as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. The virgin voyages app was very temperamental and caused a lot of issues for others as was continually crashing, the app is an integral part of the cruise so hopefully this will be improved soon!
