Scarlet Lady
Find Out More About Virgin Voyages
The Scarlet Lady cruise ship is the first vessel in the Virgin Voyages fleet, offering an adults-only cruise experience that combines modern design, innovative dining, immersive entertainment and destination-led itineraries. Built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri and delivered in February 2020, the ship began its first UK sailing on 6 August 2021, followed by its US debut on 6 October 2021; she paved the way for her identical sister ships Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady.
Measuring approximately 277 metres in length, Virgin Scarlet Lady has a gross tonnage of around 110,000 GT and can accommodate approximately 2,770 guests at standard double occupancy, supported by around 1,150 crew members. Following its November 2024 refurbishment, the ship features refreshed dining and social spaces, additional suites and upgraded leisure facilities. It is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and over.
Scarlet Lady Cruise Ship Restaurants & Bars
Unlike traditional cruise ships where guests dine in one main dining room, Scarlet Lady cruise ship offers a wide selection of over 20 restaurants, bars and lounges, allowing guests to explore different cuisines throughout their holiday. Rather than following a traditional cruise dining format, Virgin Voyages provides a restaurant-led experience with varied menus and distinctive settings.
Notable Virgin Scarlet Lady restaurants include:
- Pink Agave: A Mexican-inspired restaurant serving flavourful dishes in a stylish setting, with tequila and mezcal drinks complementing the menu.
- Extra Virgin: An Italian restaurant offering pasta, antipasti and other Italian-inspired favourites.
- The Wake: A steakhouse and seafood restaurant known for its elegant atmosphere and premium menu.
- Gunbae: A lively Korean barbecue restaurant where communal dining adds a social element to the meal.
- The Test Kitchen: An experimental dining venue focused on creative dishes and inventive culinary presentations.
- Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle: A Chinese-inspired dining concept introduced during the ship's 2024 refurbishment, featuring dishes such as Peking duck bao buns and stir-fried noodles.
- The Galley: A food-hall-style venue offering a variety of casual dining options.
- The Pizza Place: A convenient choice for freshly prepared pizza during the day or evening.
The Virgin Scarlet Lady's bars and lounges provide equally varied experiences. Grounds Club Too transitions from a coffee venue during the day into a bar and lounge space in the evening. The Manor offers a lively setting for nightlife, while the pool deck provides opportunities to relax with drinks in the sunshine.
Guests looking for a more exclusive poolside experience can also explore the ship's bookable VIP cabanas, introduced as part of the 2024 enhancements.
Many dining venues are included in the cruise fare, although premium experiences, drinks and certain purchases may cost extra. Check the latest menus and fare conditions before travelling.
Scarlet Lady Cruise Ship Entertainment
Entertainment is a central part of the Scarlet Lady cruise ship experience, with original theatrical productions, live performances, themed parties and late-night events. The programme is designed for adult travellers who want a combination of relaxation, social activities and lively evenings at sea.
Named Scarlet Lady's entertainment experiences include:
- Duel Reality: An energetic, acrobatic interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, combining physical performance, rivalry and dramatic storytelling.
- Ships in the Night: A theatrical production exploring human connections through dance, music and performance.
- Scarlet Night: One of Virgin Voyages' signature celebrations, featuring red-themed outfits, interactive entertainment and a lively poolside party, subject to the sailing's programme and operational conditions.
- The PJ Party: A themed evening gathering where guests can wear pyjamas and enjoy music, dancing and a relaxed party atmosphere.
- The Manor: A nightclub offering late-night music, dancing and selected entertainment events.
Beyond the evening programme, guests can enjoy a range of activities throughout the day. Fitness sessions, group exercise classes, the outdoor running track and sports facilities provide opportunities to stay active while at sea.
Virgin Scarlet Lady's ship also features the Redemption Spa, where guests can explore treatments and wellness facilities for an additional charge. Its thermal suite includes relaxation experiences such as heated quartz beds, a sauna and other spa facilities, subject to current availability.
Entertainment schedules can vary by itinerary and sailing date, so guests should consult the onboard app for current showtimes, reservations and event details.
Scarlet Lady Cruise Ship Accommodations & Cabin Types
The Scarlet Lady cruise ship offers accommodation ranging from practical interior cabins to balcony rooms and premium suites. Following its 2024 refurbishment, the ship added 24 Seriously Suites, increasing the choice available to guests seeking an upgraded onboard experience.
Cabin categories include:
- Insider cabins: Interior rooms without an outside window, suited to travellers who want comfortable accommodation while keeping their cruise budget under control.
- Sea View cabins: Rooms with an ocean-facing window, providing natural light and views of the surrounding seascape.
- Sea Terrace cabins: Balcony cabins featuring private outdoor space and a hammock on applicable configurations, ideal for guests who enjoy relaxing in the open air.
- RockStar Quarters: Premium suites offering additional space, distinctive design and enhanced services, depending on the selected suite.
- Mega RockStar Quarters: Higher-tier suites designed for guests seeking a more exclusive experience, with additional space and premium benefits.
The ship's suite options include the Seriously Suite, which features a European king bed, a distinctive bathroom design, a vanity and a record player with vinyl records. Suite features and inclusions depend on the specific accommodation booked.
When comparing cabins, consider the amount of space you need, whether you want a private balcony, the location of the room and the services included in the fare. An Insider cabin can be a practical option for travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the ship and destinations, while a Sea Terrace offers extra private outdoor space.
Guests considering a RockStar suite should compare the available benefits and overall cost before booking. Cabin availability, layouts and facilities should always be confirmed for the chosen sailing.

Explore Scarlet Lady
Pink Agave
Upscale Mexican
Inspired by Mexico’s red-hot culture and sexy food scene, the experience at Pink Agave goes far beyond the usual taco. Shareable, social, and spicy — it transports you to the vibrant streets of Mexico City on an immersive odyssey of local cuisine. With the largest selection of tequila and mezcal at sea, and DJ beats to amp up the energy, we won’t judge if you order one of everything… and end up dancing on tables by the end of the night.
Shore Things
There are some experiences you only dream about and there are those you didn’t know you needed — until they’re right in front of you. Get the perfect balance of both with experiences curated by our Shore Things providers.
Book early and save by scoring the lowest rates on select Shore Things (which increase on board), and the most available options. View Shore Things details and book through My Account or the Sailor App (click the “Discover” tab).
The Dock
Blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor lounging, The Dock is the ultimate space for unwinding. Offering an alfresco-chic lounge-side service, its menu is focused on light and refreshing drinks and enticing bites to share. Drink in the Mediterranean flair with craft cocktails made with orange blossom, rose water, or pomegranate — they pair perfectly with the sweeping ocean views, fiery sunsets, and starry nights you’ll see from one of The Dock’s daybeds.
B-Complex
A VIBE CALLED SWEAT
Divided into two goal-oriented sections decked with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, the B-Complex has the very best at the ready so that you can give your best when working out — from a multipurpose fitness studio offering everything from Bungee classes to BARRE, a cycling studio where going for a spin doesn’t cost a thing, bookable personal training, and dramatic views to help you keep going when you feel the burn.
