Virgin Voyages

A joint venture between Virgin Group and Bain Capital, Virgin Voyages is targeted at travellers who might not normally consider cruising. The progression shouldn't come as a surprise, given Virgin already has stakes in aviation, trains, hotels and even space travel.  Come aboard the cruise line by Richard Branson. With irresistible sailing vacations, just for you. Virgin Voyages' first ship, the adults-only Scarlet Lady, will set sail to the Caribbean from Miami in 2020 and booking are open. Explore Scarlet Lady cruise deals below and book your Virgin Holidays cruise. 

Scarlet Lady will feature 78 suites, with passengers having the choice between lavish 'Mega Rockstar' cabins and glamorous 'Rockstar' suites.  Designed by Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio, the rooms have been inspired by mega yachts and rock 'n' roll, with touches including mood lighting which automatically adjusts to the time of the day and a personalised mini bar.  Then there are a host of extra perks including access to private members' club Richard's Rooftop, early admission to the entertainment and restaurants, and even a private transfer to and from the ship in Miami.

Insider: (Your cozy solace away from it all)

Friend groups, solo Sailors, and duos alike can get in on the Insider action. Roomy Rainshowers and mood lighting punctuate our cozy escapes — giving you the space to recover today and prepare for tomorrow.

Sleeps 1 to 4 Sailors - Room Size: 105 to 177 sq ft

Sea View (A window view of the sea):

For solo Sailors looking for quiet moments with the sea from our super large single beds, or duos perched on our nautically-inspired window seats — the ocean is yours to make eyes with. Gazing out at the waves every morning, this is the closest you can get to the ocean (without the windblown hair). 

Sleeps 1 to 3 Sailors - Room Size: 130 to 190 sq ft

Sea Terrace (Views on views...and not just from the terrace):

Whether you're getting ready inside at the glam area, rinsing off in your Roomy Rainshower or relaxing outside on your hand-woven terrace hammock, our spaces are designed to give you sweeping views of the horizon as our mood lighting intuitively matches the light from the oncoming sunset.

Sleep 2 to 4 Sailors - Room Size: 225 to 265 sq ft

Suites (Don't be extra):

With wildly luxurious interiors and outdoor spaces that rival most people's apartments, these suites get you exclusive access and personal attention (personal riders, yes plz) generally reserved for award winners.

Sleeps: 2 to 4 Sailors - Room Size: 352 to 2147 sq ft

Enjoy that Miami heat...and we don't mean the weather. Or the basketball team.

From the badass street art scene in Wynwood to the most fire cubano sandwich you've ever had in Little Havana, Miami is more than just beaches and nightlife (but it is that, too). Whether you're into getting down at a taco shop-turned-dance party (we see you, Coyo Taco) or posting up laterally on South Beach with a mojito glued to your hand, Miami's dynamic culture is one of the most vivacious in the country.

Explore Cuba's superlative metropolis

Don't get us wrong, we love cigars and mojitos just as much as the next person/large company, but Havana's rich history and diverse cultural background make for far more than just a beachy port stop. Between exploring the back alleyways of Pata Vieja, visiting the artists and bohemian bars of Cayo Hueso, or chilling amongst locals outside the Malecon, Cuba's capital is a treasure trove of undiscovered truths.

Puerto Plata - dise

The charmingly quaint Dominican city that (literally) rises through the sky to be the first one to say hi when we dock Tucked between the Cordillera Mountains and Atlantic coast, Puerto Plata embodies geographical duality at its best. A day here can include vegging out on the snow white beaches of Playa Dorado, or hiking through the jungle to the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua and careening down via natural slides. Or you can jump right in. We won't tell you how to live.

Costa Maya have this dance?

No shade to Cancun or Cozumel, but Costa Maya is the unperturbed Mexico worthy of your PTO. Yearning to see new side of coastal Mexico? Costa Maya is a breathtaking start. Both Mahahual, a gorgeous beach with see-to-the-bottom turquoise water, and Xcalak, a sleepy fishing village lined with wooden houses, make for beach experiences that feel, true or not (they're not), as if you're the first to have found them. Lesser-known Mayan ruins like Dzibanche and Kinichna offer a glimpse into the deeply complicated and rich history that the Yucatán peninsula has to share.

Sea you at The Beach Club

Since Virgin has a private beach club experience in Bimini, Bahamas, it's crazy not to utilize it. See-through water and sandy white shores punctuate this geographically poetic port. And like any good haiku, it's cloaked in seductive mystery. Besides having access to the island’s incredible biodiversity in marine life, boating, snorkeling and even historic shipwreck diving, sailors get exclusive access to The Beach Club — Virgin's private beach club experience. Peaceful mornings and restorative days or amplified afternoons at the DJ-led pool party —our club is designed to answer whatever your specific mood is calling for. But regardless of your energy level, the bonfire finale will be nearly impossible to pass on.

Virgin Voyages is joining the mainstream cruise lines by having their own destination getaway in the Bahamas. While spending the day in Bimini, sailors can feel the sand in their toes in a stylish setting with white-sand and crystal clear waters and programming that will rival the best beach clubs in Ibiza and Saint-Tropez.

We wouldn't judge you for taking a food pic

Razzle Dazzle:

So your best friend wants something light and healthy, and you want to get real weird? This is that place. Boasting a bold interior, this restaurant offers creative surprises on some classic, comfort go-tos. Whether you're looking for something familiar (#basic can be good) or something spicy and out of left field, this place does all of that with a twist (breakfast, lunch and dinner, baby).

The Test Kitchen:

Inspired by Escoffier’s Ma Cuisine, this laboratory-like eatery is part cooking school and part restaurant. It's educational, experiential and social. With classes and evolving tasting menus, this is for the curious, boundary-pushing tastebuds on board.

The Dock:

Okay, frankly we'd be wild to build a ship and not have an eatery with a sun-drenched lounging area so you can combine all the things you love in one place (eating and views, obviously) so yep — we did that. The Dock feels like an elegant cabana caught between the chill, seaside perfection of Ibiza and the rustic-chic resorts of Brazil.

This is just a lil taste of what you can expect from the 20+ eateries on board Scarlet Lady.

Wanna peel back the curtain on (some of) our places and spaces? Don't worry, everyone is clothed (for now).

The Aquatic Club:

With smooth curves and nautical details, we've created a pool deck with the sophisticated glam of a contemporary yacht. Whether you're looking to sunbathe in one of our daybeds or let last night's choices melt away in the pool, you can detox and recover, or start the party all over again. Don't be surprised if paparazzi mistake you for celebs - we're legally not responsible for how good you look on this ship.

Squid Ink:

“Tattooing is a time-honored seafaring tradition, and we’re continuing that legacy with rock and roll style by bringing some of the best ink artists to sea,” said Tom McAlpin, president and chief executive officer for Virgin Voyages. “Our sailors are looking to make lifelong memories, and we think there's no better way to commemorate their first voyage with us than with a souvenir they'll never lose track of.”

The Manor:

The two-story, three bar space, named after Richard's first recording studio, is inspired by a classic theatrical zeitgeist - layered with a moody & sexy ‘70s, punk vibe. Ground-breaking shows will kick the night off before it transitions into a mind-blowing, goodbye-early-morning-workout nightclub.

There is so much more to do from: Chilling out listening to the on board DJ's, Watching a live performance in 'The Red Room' or improving your music collection at 'Voyage Vinyl', there is so much going on there is no way you could get bored.
