Scarlet Lady

Virgin Voyages do dining onboard Scarlet Lady like no other cruise line. With no buffet, no set dining times and no extra fee for eating onboard, Scarlet Lady provides a truly unique cruise dining experience at each of the 20 dining venues onboard. Notable mentions include:

Other dining venues include:

• Wake: So named for having a stunning view from the rear of Scarlet Lady, serving surf and turf steaks along with a portable cocktail cart where your drinks are brought to you.
• Pink Agave: Quality Mexican that elevates your classic favourites to another level, with themed cocktails to match.
• The Dock: Relaxed, al fresco space serving Mediterranean finger food such as tapas and mezze.
• Extra-Virgin: Traditional Italian restaurant accessible to all with handmade pasta, wine/dish matching guides and hourly aperitifs to tempt you.
• The Pizza Place: Another take on Italian-inspired food - pick your topping, dough, thickness and more to get your perfect pizza made fresh before your eyes.

In terms of entertainment Virgin Voyages sail against the tide when it comes to what sailors will find onboard Scarlet Lady.

After a day of relaxation and rejuvenation, the evening takes on a more energetic atmosphere with a focus on letting your hair down and making the most of the ship’s vibrant nightlife.

The headline act has to be the two-storey nightclub with varied DJs playing floor fillers everyone will love to blow off steam to.

You won’t find any Broadway-style shows or cheesy cabaret onboard Scarlet Lady either. Instead you can be entertained by a cheeky drag act while having some brunch at Razzle Dazzle!

In addition, in the main theatre venue, the Red Room, Virgin Voyages’ sailors will be mesmerised by no less than six fantastically varied, world class shows. From acrobatic modern interpretations of Romeo and Juliet to adult-themed burlesque, there’s something for every cruiser with Virgin Voyages. The show doesn’t stop in the Red Room either as small bands of performers pop up on deck during the day, delighting sailors with their playful acts that rip up the fourth wall and throw it overboard!

Other top Scarlet Lady venues include:

• The Dock: In the evening this Mediterranean-inspired al fresco space takes on a more Ibiza-style atmosphere.
• Athletic Club: Here you can relax and exercise in perfect measure with running track and outdoor gym equipment as well as ten cabanas, day beds, table football and swimming pools.
• The Manor: The pumping two-tiered nightclub becomes the centre piece of your evening for dancefloor-filling DJs and communal atmosphere until the early hours.
• Richard’s Rooftop: Exclusively for sailors with suite accommodations, this al fresco lounge area has a bar for your favourite drinks and experimental furniture features.

When it comes to how you spend your time onboard Scarlet Lady between ports, Virgin Voyages again have a philosophy like no other cruise line. Their style sees you not need a break from your break, aiming at relaxing and rejuvenating you from the stresses of life back home in equal measure.

As a result, your time onboard Scarlet Lady is divided into either detoxing - clearing your mind, body and soul of the weights you carry before stepping onboard - and retoxing, to fill you with a new purpose and feeling of energy.

Christened the ‘Vitamin Sea’ concept, examples of how you can spend your day achieving this perfect equilibrium include:

• Top Deck: A full circle view right from the top of Scarlet Lady where sailors sunbathe in isolation during the day or partake in yoga sessions at dawn and dusk.
• Athletic Club: Outdoor training area with boxing bags, free weights, gymnastic stations and epic views between reps.
