Virgin Voyages · Our First Lady Love

Scarlet Lady

Newly refreshed and as stunning as ever, Scarlet Lady is Virgin Voyages' first ship — an adults-only, design-forward vessel that swaps buffets and formal nights for world-class dining, immersive entertainment, and cabins designed by Sailors, for Sailors.

The Scarlet Lady Mermaid

The soul & spirit of our first ship

Scarlet is both beautiful and mysterious — a woman of power at the helm of the ship, empowering women and representing front-facing female leaders around the world. She adorns the bow as a modern figurehead for a modern voyage.

What's on board

The Ship

20+ Eateries — No Buffet, No Upcharge

More than twenty dining rooms and casual counters share the ship, and every one of them is folded into your fare — no premium tiers, no cover charges, no buffet trays sliding along a rail.

Richard's Rooftop

The private open-air deck reserved for RockStar and Mega RockStar suite guests — a hot tub, slung hammocks, and a bottle of something cold on arrival.

The Manor Nightclub

A moody, two-level club that borrows its palette from mid-century thrillers and fills its calendar with resident DJs, live bands, and staged theatrical moments.

Redemption Spa & Thermal Suite

A full thermal circuit — mud chamber, salt room, cold plunge, steam, heated quartz loungers — sitting alongside a working barbershop, hair salon, and studio spaces for group classes.

The Athletic Club

An open-air deck engineered for actually moving: a rooftop running lane, a boxing ring, a basketball half-court, and the deep red rope nets slung over open water that have become the ship's signature.

Cabins Designed by Sailors, For Sailors

Rooms shaped around how you actually use them: a Seabed that flips between sofa and mattress, tuneable mood lighting, a shower with a view of the water, and — in most categories — a private terrace over the sea.

Eateries on board

20+ Included

No buffets. No upcharges. Menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs including Brad Farmerie and Matt Lambert — plus 24/7 ShipEats delivery for when the cravings hit at 3 a.m. Full menus for every venue are available on the homepage Dining section.

The Wake

Steak & Seafood

The Wake

The ship's chophouse — dry-aged steaks, whole-fish presentations, and a proper raw bar. Enter down the grand staircase; the wraparound windows make the sunset half the meal.

Razzle Dazzle

Fare with Flare

Razzle Dazzle

American diner food reworked with a heavy vegetable slant — bright breakfasts, playful comfort plates at dinner, and one of the loosest, most colorful rooms on board.

Lucky Lotus

New on Scarlet Lady

Lucky Lotus

The newest addition to the ship — a modern Chinese kitchen leaning on regional flavors and shared plates, meant to be worked through slowly and family-style.

Pink Agave

Upscale Mexican

Pink Agave

Modern Mexico City cooking — sharing plates, plenty of chile heat, and what may be the deepest agave list at sea. The DJ usually makes it feel less like dinner and more like a night out.

Extra Virgin

Irresistibly Italian

Extra Virgin

A traditional Italian trattoria on board — antipasti built to share, hand-cut pastas, grilled meats and seafood, and a wandering affogato cart that comes to the table for dessert.

Gunbae

Lively Korean BBQ

Gunbae

Group tables built around a live grill — the server pours a round of soju, walks the table through a drinking game, and then hands over the tongs. Book it with people you actually like.

The Test Kitchen

Chef-Driven Tasting

The Test Kitchen

The experimental room on the ship — a rotating tasting menu written as an ingredient list, with paired drinks and a small coffee program running in the background.

The Galley

Food Market

The Galley

A market-hall setup with a dozen counters under one roof — bakery, panini, burgers, tacos, sushi, ramen, salads — plus a 24-hour diner window for late-night breakfasts.

The Pizza Place

Late-Night Slice

The Pizza Place

Neapolitan-style pies made to order, with a bar of add-ons for anyone who wants to build their own. Also, quietly, the best late-night option on the ship.

The Dock House

Mezze & Mediterranean

The Dock House

An open, terrace-style room built around a Mediterranean mezze menu — grilled skewers, warm pita, and a cart of dips that comes around between courses. Acoustic sets most evenings.

Lick Me Till… Ice Cream

Sweet Stop

Lick Me Till… Ice Cream

A small ice-cream window turning out half a dozen house-made flavors at any given time, with vegan options always in the rotation.

The Social Club

Fairground Bites

The Social Club

The ship's game room, with a carnival-style bites menu — pretzels, hot dogs, grown-up ice cream floats — plus shuffleboard, cards, and oversized deck games.

Bars & lounges

Best Nightlife · Cruise Critic

Essential drinks are included in every fare, tips are on us, and there are no restrictive packages — just fair prices across the ship. Detailed drink menus and pricing tables live in the homepage Dining section.

On The Rocks

Cocktail Bar

On The Rocks

The ship's serious cocktail room — a long back-bar of aged spirits, live music most nights, and bartenders who will happily build something bespoke if you tell them what you like.

Sip

Champagne Lounge

Sip

A small, quiet lounge built for bubbles and caviar — champagne breakfasts, afternoon tea service, and a short list of nightcaps for after dinner.

The Aquatic Club

Pool Bar

The Aquatic Club

The main pool bar — blender drinks, rum punches, and a solid mocktail list, positioned so you never have to walk more than a minute from your lounger.

The Dock

Mezze Lounge

The Dock

Open-air, low-slung lounge seating and a drinks list heavy on orange blossom, rose water, and pomegranate — the natural place to be on the ship at sunset.

The Dock House

Premium Rosé Program

The Dock House

A rosé-forward wine bar attached to the Dock — spritzers, low-proof cocktails, and a bottle list built for slow afternoons on the terrace.

Draught Haus

Beer House

Draught Haus

The beer bar — rotating taps, a small curated bottle list, and a menu of playful shots (the 'All Day Breakfast' has developed a following).

Gym & Tonic

Wellness Bar

Gym & Tonic

Attached to the fitness deck — cold-pressed juices, made-to-order smoothies, and a short list of low-sugar, low-proof cocktails for people who are not entirely off duty.

The Loose Cannon

Nautical Dive Bar

The Loose Cannon

The ship's version of a British seaside dive — trivia nights, an actual cannon fired to mark the start of the evening, and a short menu of dark, spirit-forward drinks.

The Grounds Club

Coffee Bar

The Grounds Club

A full espresso bar pulling Intelligentsia beans, staffed by trained baristas. The morning line moves faster than you'd expect.

Sun Club

Sun Deck Bar

Sun Club

The upper-deck bar directly above the pool — frozen drinks, tropical cocktails, and the best sight-lines when the pool party takes over after sundown.

Fitness & spa

Sweat · Relax · Recover

All group workouts are on us — the only currency we take is sweat. Then trade the boxing ring for a mud room, salt room, or the first quartz bed at sea in the Redemption Thermal Suite.

B-Complex

Fitness Complex

B-Complex

The main gym — fully kitted with Technogym equipment, a multipurpose studio that hosts everything from bungee to barre, a dedicated cycling room, and personal training bookable by the session.

The Runway

Jogging Track

The Runway

A 255-meter running loop laid in Virgin's signature red that traces the top of the ship — long enough for real intervals, and one of the better places on board to watch the ocean roll by at sunrise.

Redemption Spa

Thermal Suite

Redemption Spa

A full thermal circuit — mud, salt, sauna, steam, hot and cold plunge pools, heated marble hammam benches — anchored by a heated quartz lounger that's the only one at sea.

The Athletic Club

Outdoor Sports Deck

The Athletic Club

The outdoor sports deck — a full-size boxing ring, basketball court, MyBeast strength rigs, oversized deck games, and (yes) a set of adult seesaws worth trying at least once.

The Perch

Sunrise Yoga & Sunset Views

The Perch

The quiet outdoor deck on 17 — sunrise yoga in the morning, a champagne pour at sunset, and a good place to disappear from the rest of the ship in between.

Aquatic Club

Poolside Oasis

Aquatic Club

The main pool deck — yacht-style curves, generous daybeds, and enough space to have a slow afternoon or an energetic one depending on the hour.

The Tune Up

Mani-Pedi & Medi Spa

The Tune Up

The nail bar and light medi-spa — manicures, pedicures, nail art, plus bookable injectables and IV therapy for anyone who wants the full reset before dinner.

Dry Dock

Beauty Salon

Dry Dock

A full hair and beauty salon on board — color, blowouts, conditioning treatments, brow and lash work, and a proper glam service if you want to arrive at dinner already done.

Stubble & Groom

Barber Shop

Stubble & Groom

A traditional British-style barbershop — hot-towel shaves, express cuts, fades — with a Whisky and Whiskers add-on that swaps the coffee for a pour of Scotch.

Squid Ink

Tattoo Parlor

Squid Ink

A working tattoo studio at sea, run in partnership with World Famous Tattoo Ink — take home an original piece from an on-board artist, in the oldest sailor tradition there is.
