Scarlet Lady is something special
Newly refreshed and as stunning as ever, there’s no shortage of adventure to be had.

Scarlet Lady, run by Virgin Voyages, is a medium-sized ocean luxury ship launched in 2020. This vessel can carry up to 2,762 guests across 1,404 cabins and 1,150 crew members.
This size of ship suits those who want onboard options without some of the drawbacks of big-ship cruising. You must be an adult to sail on Scarlet Lady.
On board, you can eat at 21 restaurants and eating venues. You'll be spoilt for choice, with American, Italian and Hawaiian cuisines a few of the available options. You can also grab a drink at 13 bars and lounges.
Scarlet Lady has 22 accommodation options to choose from. 32% have windows or balconies offering views of the scenery beyond and 55% are suites, meaning if you're dreaming of sailing away while taking in the sunset or indulging in a more spacious sanctuary at sea, you're in the right place.
First cruise ever. WOW why did I leave it so long? The Wprl at your feet is how I’d describe this trip. The places the staff the ease of booking . The food is such a treat. Lovely 🥰
When we arrived shipside we were not welcomed as if it was a luxury experience and had to struggle aboard with our suitcases.
The room was very noisy all day and long into the evening as we were just below the gym area. It was a very comfortable room with a sea view, but being on the 13th deck there was a huge overhang which hampered the view and we hadnt been made aware of either the noise issue or the restricted view.
We couldn't secure a booking at any restaurant until we complained about it near the end of the cruise. It seemed that loads of groups had booked up everything and we weren't the only ones complaining that we couldn't get availability at any restaurant at any time.
The comedians weren't funny at all and at the last gig I don't believe anyone there laughed once. The musicians were the same one almost every night and she seemed to have issues every single night and so only sang a one or two songs.
We felt the food in the individual restaurants wasn't the quality of our previous cruise and were quite disappointed with the menu. The galley was generally good though. We also felt the entertainment wasn't as good as our previous Virgin cruise.
Maybe we had high expectations as we had been a Virgin cruise before. We felt considering this was a cruise where most folk were 'indoors' most of the time Virgin could have tried a bit harder with the activities as if you dont like zumba or karaoke you are pretty much stuck.
Not sure I would pick Virgin again
Embarkation line was quite long, app to book was glitchy as always. Virgin crew and food outstanding. Would benefit from a few more day time activities
Great cruise. Lovely restaurants and food. Friendly staff. Was a UK cruise prior to going to the U.S so weather wasn’t great so couldn’t make use of the outdoor space as much as we would have liked. Cabins were lovely with great mood lighting and comfy beds. Fabulous shower! Great entertainment if you wished to see it. Lots of fitness classes. We particularly enjoyed the 80’s work out which was great fun! Would love to experience this cruise abroad with some lovely sunshine!
We sailed with virgin last year when the ship was in the uk (scarlet lady). We enjoyed it so much we are doing it again from the US. The food was amazing, from the grand meals right down to the snacks. The alcoholic drinks weren’t to my taste but they were fairly priced. The room was lovely and he service was amazing. I liked how the crew all looked like they were dressed very comfortably and were unique, as is the virgin style. The only thing that could be improved is the WiFi connection, which wouldnt be a problem on holiday normally but everything is booked through the app so it makes sense to have good wifi. The great thing about cruising with virgin is apart from alcoholic drinks everything is included so no need for tips or speciality restaurants
great cruise liner, food was fabulous and it was like eating in an la carte restaurant every day. Shows and entertainment were amazing and the virgin voyages app was easy to use, i also loved the excursions.
We had an excellent cruise on Scarlet Lady despite the fact we were not in the agee bracket it was aimed at. It is a fun ship with excellent food. The entertainment was interesting! Our cabin was comfortable and the hammock on the balcony a nice touch.
Brilliant Lady is the fourth ship in Virgin Voyages’ fleet, completing the brand’s quartet of adults-only vessels. Having entered service in 2025, the ship builds on the line’s established formula of design-led spaces, inclusive dining and a focus on longer, more varied itineraries.
After a year of adversity and adaptation, it's only fitting that we name our third ship, "Resilient Lady". While the proverbial seas may have been rough, we've never been more excited to set sail from our new homeport of Piraeus (Athens), Greece - seeing the world with fresh and appreciative eyes.
Step aboard Valiant Lady — where award-winning live entertainment meets sailing style. With new immersive shows and star-turns, she’s cruising the Caribbean and beyond with flair.
