After a stay on Valiant Lady, you’ll never look at cruise ship dining in the same way. Out with buffets, set dining times and formal clothing and in with modern restaurants, flavour-packed dishes and flexible hours that mean you’ll never have to worry about going hungry. With over 20 different venues to choose from, the choice onboard is second to none. Here's what to expect when it comes to onboard restaurants:
No cruise is complete without plenty of opportunity to indulge your sweet tooth, and Valiant Lady won't disappoint. From artisan ice-cream at Lick Me Till… Ice Cream to pastries and desserts at The Sweet Side and Well Bread, you're never far from a tasty treat during your time onboard.
Nighttime is when Valiant Lady really comes into her own, offering everything from dancing into the early hours of the morning at The Manor, one of the most vibrant nightclubs at sea, to relaxing in a bar sipping on your favourite drink after marvelling at an immersive show in the The Red Room, or even trying your luck at The Casino. With six world-class shows to choose from, you could almost watch a different one every night of your cruise! On top of these, you might even get to see a pop up show on deck throughout the day.
Onboard you can also enjoy unexpected cruise ship entertainment, including cabaret and drag shows. If you want to get involved in the entertainment yourself, head to The Groupie where you can sing your heart out in a private karaoke room. Meanwhile, for a more relaxed evening, enjoy nights on deck winding down by the pool.
If you're looking for a spot on Valiant Lady to enjoy a drink, you're truly spoilt for choice:
Relaxing and rejuvenating are at the heart of onboard recreation during your free hours onboard Valiant Lady. Whether you’re into getting active or prefer to lay back and let yourself be pampered, there’s no end of ways to pass the time spent at sea.
If you're keen to be at the heart of the action onboard, head to the Aquatic Club, a poolside oasis where you can take a dip, unwind on the sun loungers and enjoy a drink from the nearby bar. Meanwhile, if you're looking for a more serene spot on Valiant Lady, make your way to The Perch where you can take in the views and make the most of the sea air.
Inside the ship there's still plenty to see and do. Browse which records are on offer at Voyage Vinyl, try your hand at everything from shuffleboard to air hockey at The Social Club or enjoy classic arcade games at The Arcade. When it's time for a break, head to the Grounds Club for your caffeine fix or grab a freshly baked treat from Well Bread.
If keeping fit is important to you, Valiant Lady is the perfect choice. From fitness classes and sunrise yoga to solo workouts, make the most of the fantastic facilities onboard:
When it comes to relaxing after a trip to the gym, replenish your energy with a health juice from Gym & Tonic. For a truly indulgent few hours, treat yourself to a trip to the Redemption Spa. With its variety of pampering treatments, you're sure to leave feeling brand-new. Plus, with manicures and pedicures at The Tune Up, a makeover at the Dry Dock or a trip to the Stubble & Groom barbers, you'll be feeling your best in no time.

Staff Review - The tablet for controlling the room is awesome and the hammock on the balcony is super comfy. Korean BBQ restaurant Gunbae was my favourite with social drinking games and excellent food to match. I was pinching myself the endless supply of 5-star food is all included in the price! I also really liked the Pizza Place for a takeaway pizza and a cosy film before bed as the perfect end to a busy day! During the day lounging by the pool with a cocktail just can't be beaten, or lying on a sun bed taking in the views while you're served tapas - epic. Port days are exceptionally well organised too - no queuing - just easy to get on and off with your wristband! The entertainment is out of this world too - 360 in the Red Room is not to be missed!

Staff Review - My cabin was really spacious and comfy, making it a great place to relax. It was always clean and the balcony view was amazing. I loved starting my day looking out at the sea, which was really peaceful and beautiful. The all-day breakfast was delicious and quick. I could choose from lots of different breakfast foods anytime, which was super convenient. The sushi bar was a new experience for me, and I loved it! The sushi was fresh and tasty, and everything looked so nice. It was exciting to try something different and it turned out great. Playing pickleball was a lot of fun and it was a cool way to meet people and stay active. I used the gym every day and it had everything I needed. It was great for keeping up with my workouts and I got to chat with others who like staying fit too. The Manor was awesome - it had a cool bar which set the tone for a relaxed yet vibrant evening and lots of room to dance. The place looked really stylish, perfect for taking some cool photos. Scarlett Night created a big atmosphere that was both visually stunning and socially engaging. I have to mention the track on the roof of the ship. It was great for running or walking with an incredible view of the ocean. It's perfect if you like staying active and enjoying beautiful scenery at the same time. Brandon, Customer Care
Staff Review - I stayed in a Sea Terrace cabin with a lovely clear view out to sea, a big bed and the famous Virgin Voyages hammock. My favourite restaurants were Extra Virgin for the amazing Italian dishes and the Korean BBQ at Gunbae is just so much fun! During the day I enjoyed the Social Club for a vegan hotdog and a game of shuffleboard and the pool loungers as they are like big mattresses. When it came to party time The Manor nightclub and the acrobatic show in the theatre were spectacular. What was also a massive plus was how all of these amazing venues and experiences are included. The alcoholic drinks are really reasonably priced and Wi-Fi to use the app was speedy too! Ellie, Marketing
Staff Review - In my Sea Terrace stateroom I thought the iPad to control curtains, lighting and TV was a fantastic touch. The room was also really spacious. Razzle Dazzle was my standout dining venue with incredible vegetarian offerings, and The Pizza Place for the best pizza at sea!! In terms of activities the gaming arcade was such a fun throwback, and the pool scene was always a really chilled vibe. For live entertainment the Red Room was always simply amazing and The Manor nightclub was really really fun. Absolutely loved Valiant Lady - such a relaxed, casual yet luxury vibe to the ship.
