Virgin Voyages officially has a fleet after the second ship in its Lady vessels, Valiant Lady, was delivered by shipbuilder Fincantieri on Friday [2 July 2021].

Virgin Voyages will offer guests the chance to take a VIP tour of the shipyard where its vessels are under construction as part of its Mediterranean land activities.

Here’s your first look at Virgin Voyages’ private destination hub in the Caribbean – The Beach Club at Bimini. Centred around an expansive central lagoon-style pool, the beach club is a resort-like experience designed for relaxation and sits on the westernmost part of the Bahamian islands.

Virgin Voyages will make its long-awaited debut with a limited series of sailings from England this August, available only to UK residents.

Virgin Voyages has revealed the name of its third ocean ship as Resilient Lady. A sister-ship to Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady, the third iteration will be based from Pireaus, Athens and offer new cruises to the Greek Islands, such as Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, Kefalonia, Corfu and Mykonos.

Virgin Voyages has postponed its debut until the northern spring of 2021 while temporarily abandoning plans to begin Mediterranean sailings.

The much-hyped and long-planned inaugural season of Virgin Voyages has been suspended until 15 August, as the new cruise company becomes the latest cruise line to shutter its operation due to the coronavirus situation.

A planned stopover in New York City of Virgin Voyages’ brand-new ship, Scarlet Lady, has been canned at the 11th hour, but the new cruise line insists the port visit is not due to “health concerns”.

Virgin Voyages now has its first ship! The new cruise line accepted delivery of Scarlet Lady on Friday 14 February 2020 at Fincantieri’s shipyard at Genoa, Italy. Scarlet Lady has now set course for its homeport of Miami, a journey that will take 46 days.

Guests sailing with Virgin Voyages will be provided with wearable technology that in addition to providing them with access to their cabin and suites will unlock a seamless ship boarding experience, gaming and more.

2020 heralds the arrival of a further fleet of new luxury ocean ships, including two newcomers to cruising, Virgin Voyages and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

Virgin Voyages has reiterated the new cruise line’s unique positioning, with executives from the company saying Scarlet Lady and her sister-ships will fill a void in the market that’s yet to be tapped by big ship operators.
