About Scarlet Lady
Scarlet Lady is the ship that launched Virgin Voyages in August 2021, setting the template for everything the brand stands for: adults-only (18+), all dining included, no buffet, no formal nights, and a design-forward aesthetic inspired by boutique hotels and music festivals. At 110,000 GT, she carries 2,770 Sailors (Virgin's term for guests) across 1,330 cabins and 78 RockStar Quarters.
Best for: First-time cruisers and younger adults (20s-40s) who are drawn to the idea of cruising but put off by the traditional cruise experience. Scarlet Lady's Caribbean itineraries out of Miami are short (4-5 nights) and designed as a gateway to the Virgin Voyages concept.

What to know before you book
Cabin tips
Skip the Insider (interior) category unless budget demands it; Sea Terraces have a hammock on the balcony and significantly more natural light. For a splurge, the Sweet Aft Suite has a massive aft-facing terrace. The Massive Suite is a true rock-star experience with a music room and outdoor shower.
Dining
Over 20 dining options included in the fare: The Wake (steakhouse), Razzle Dazzle (vegetarian-forward), Gunbae (Korean BBQ), Extra Virgin (Italian), The Test Kitchen (experimental), Pink Agave (Mexican), and the Galley food hall. No buffet exists anywhere on the ship.
Entertainment
The Red Room transforms between four configurations nightly. Scarlet Night happens once per voyage. The Athletic Club has group fitness classes, a boxing ring, and a basketball court. The Manor is an underground nightclub. Vinyl is a record shop where you can listen to albums on headphones.
