Valiant Lady

You, them, Valiant Lady in 2022 – let’s make it happen…

Ready your sea legs, sailors – Valiant Lady is coming soon and she’s got big plans for you

Take the glamour of a boutique hotel, add a dash of unmistakable Virgin service and style, shake it up with some adult-only excess and garnish with a hint of simple, transparent pricing. It’s the recipe behind Richard Branson’s foray into the oceans, debuted aboard Scarlet Lady and set to be rolled out to the next damsel in the fleet, Valiant Lady – launching in spring 2022.

A sanctuary at sea for over 18s only

Everyone deserves to feel like a RockStar and Valiant Lady will put you top of the set list, becoming your sanctuary at sea, free from formality. So, we’ve established Virgin Voyages holidays won’t be stuffy, suited, booted and heavy on rules. But what can you expect on a Valiant Lady voyage? Here’s the tea…

Enjoy more for your money, sailor

Virgin Voyages aren’t about hidden extras or sneaky surprise receipts. Nu-uh. Every Valiant Lady cruise promises sailors $600 of value with all of this as standard:

• All Food Included – From refined dining to relaxed casual, any and all of Valiant Lady’s 20+ eateries are for Sailors to enjoy on Virgin.
• Tips Included – Virgin Voyages have taken care of taking care of the crew, so they’ll cover the tips for Sailors onboard experiences.
• Unlimited Wifi – Browse, post, and stay connected with WiFi – whenever Sailors want, and wherever you are on the ship.
• Group Workouts – Yoga, meditation, cycling, HIIT classes, and more – all group fitness classes are covered.
• Basic Bevvies – Stay hydrated with filtered still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas, and drip coffee.

Eat your heart out

Virgin Voyages have ditched the traditional buffet (in fact they’ve ditched tradition, full stop) and worked with a Michelin-starred chef collective to rustle up some seriously good food that isn’t like any you’ll find anywhere else at sea. We’re talking boozy bottomless brunches. We’re talking sexy upscale Mexican. We’re talking Korean BBQ food in the rowdiest restaurant at sea (their words, not ours…but we’ve been there and it’s true)

Valiant Lady will bring Sailors made-to-order food in over 20 eateries and ALL food is included in your fare. A bit like holidaying on Hollywood Boulevard, every spot is an exclusive hangout, only these ones don’t come with a guest list and a fee. The food on Virgin Voyages ships isn’t like the food on other ships; they’re making steak sexy and vegan food that feeds your soul. It’s making us hungry just thinking about it. Best of all, they’ll only cook on demand for orders, so it’s a win for your stomach AND the planet.

Here’s a taste of what to expect:

• 20+ ‘Eateries On Us’ – From steakhouses and Korean BBQ to a cooking lab and an international food market, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are all on Virgin.
• No Buffets or Big Dining Halls – With unique spaces and diverse options, Virgin Voyages have ditched the one-big-dining-hall experience and said goodbye to buffets.
• Late-Night Bites – Whether you’re craving a slice of pizza, a burger, or a hearty diner breakfast – your schedule doesn’t stop, so neither will Valiant Lady’s.
• Made-To-Order – Every eatery has its own kitchen and an executive chef – and all Valiant Lady’s food is fresh and made-to-order, never mass produced.
• Fresh Is Best – Balance is key, so Virgin Voyages will offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options in every eatery – designed from scratch and always created from the freshest ingredients.
• Michelin-Starred Chefs – World-class Chefs like Brad Farmerie (of PUBLIC in NYC) and Sohui Kim (of The Good Fork and Insa in NYC) are a few of the names behind the epic menus on Virgin cruise ships

Unexpected entertainment

Valiant Lady puts on a show with the help of her ‘Creative Collective’. Pop-ups, festival vibes, off-the-wall acts and a soon-to-be-infamous ‘Scarlet Night’ are on the line up. This isn’t cruise line entertainment as you know it, it’s what happens when the world’s best producers, performers, directors and dreamers let their imagination run wild.

The Manor will recreate parties that we bet could tell oh-so-many stories at Branson’s own gaff back in the 80s, while The Groupie promises exactly what you want after a few too many drinks…karoake! Private rooms and an endless track list are ready for your encore.

Redeem last night’s morning after with some Vitamin Sea

Valiant Lady will take wellness seriously and you’ll find a whole host of ways to redeem yourself for last night’s sin. Practice your desktop salutations at sunrise yoga or lace up your boots for long hikes in places that’ll knock your socks off on the scenery front. There are HIIT workouts for the hardcore and outdoor boxing for the feisty. And when you’ve finished working it out, you’ll find out exactly how the Redemption Spa gets it name. It’s award-winning, but you don’t really care about that. All you really need to know is there’s a mudroom and seaweed wraps. They promise you’ll age backwards and leave feeling almost angelic, before inevitably dirtying your halo all over again tonight…
