Virgin Voyages has reimagined the cruising experience, offering a modern, adults-only voyage that blends luxury, innovation, and relaxation. In this Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady review, you’ll follow a full day on board, experiencing dining, entertainment, wellness, and more.
Where do you start with a full day on Scarlet Lady? Whether you are embarking on a Caribbean or Mediterranean cruise, waking up in your ultra-modern, high-tech cabin is a fantastic way to begin. With tablet-controlled lights and curtains and a rainfall shower that feels straight out of The Jetsons, you are set for a luxurious start to any day on board.
The tablet acts like your personal butler. It opens curtains, requests services from your cabin steward, and offers a dizzying array of movies to watch. Anything you want is at your fingertips. Step out onto your large balcony with a hammock and take in the horizon. It is the perfect spot to relax and gather your thoughts.
The bed, which converts from a sofa, feels like a cloud – a good night’s sleep here sets you up perfectly for a full day aboard Scarlet Lady.
Next, it’s time for breakfast. If your cabin is located towards the back of the ship on deck 12, you will find yourself conveniently close to The Galley. Far from a traditional buffet, The Galley is more akin to a gourmet food market, featuring individual stalls that represent cuisines from around the world. Menus rotate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring a fresh selection.
You are greeted by friendly staff and offered a drink as you scan QR codes for the menu. Options range from Japanese Bento boxes to American pancakes, English breakfasts, and French pastries. You could literally order one of everything – The Galley is definitely worth trying.
With your morning free and no pressure to attend the fitness classes if you do not feel like it, take a stroll on the top decks. If you can, grab one of the private cabanas. The massive sunbeds and sofas provide a perfect spot for a mid-morning siesta.
Later, head to deck 7 for some board games. Borrow Guess Who, grab an unlimited supply of Shirley Temple drinks, and enjoy a fun pre-lunch activity. It is a perfect way to relax and soak up the ship’s social energy.
After your culinary indulgence, take a stroll through the shopping district. Premium curved glass storefronts showcase both men’s and women’s products, while hair salons, barbers, a makeup store, and even a tattoo parlour let you pamper yourself before the evening festivities.
If you are feeling peckish again, head to The Dock House on deck seven for casual Mediterranean tapas, paired with a fruity sangria. Naturally, you will want dessert. Stop at the ice-cream parlour and sample multiple flavours, including the refreshing green machine sorbet.
As you wander with your ice cream, check out the Social Club. Foosball, air hockey, board games, and retro arcade classics like Mario Bros and Donkey Kong are all included. No coins required, just enjoy.
After freshening up in your cabin, catch one of the onboard shows, which are just as impressive (if not more so) than those you’ll see on land!
Book early for dinner at The Wake, the ship’s steak and seafood restaurant. Walk down a marble staircase into a space blending Art Deco and 1970s chic. Even without a dress code, dressing up adds to the luxurious experience.
Start with bubbly and garlic buttered bread, then enjoy a Yellowfin tuna starter with hibiscus sauce and pickled rhubarb. For mains, the Filet Mignon, served with twice-baked potatoes and creamed spinach, is perfection, accompanied by your choice of sauce. Dessert is the pièce de résistance: a lemon-shaped cheesecake with delicate mousse inside.
This is one of the best dining experiences at sea. Do not miss it.
After dinner, join the ship-wide Scarlet Night. Everywhere you look on this adult-only ship, lights and decorations turn red. Guests dance in conga lines, and a giant octopus adorns the pool. With a DJ playing the perfect soundtrack, this party brings the entire ship to life.
End your night with a private karaoke room, a unique and fun way to sing your heart out. Then return to your cabin and activate cinema mode on the tablet. The lights dim and the curtains close for a relaxing film before bed.

Joseph has it spot on, as also do Virgin! They have turned cruising upside down and other lines are probably quaking in their shoes. We have just done a 4 night and were so impressed. A bad back throughout curtailed much of the activities, but we experienced more than we would have if we hadn't gone.
The food was indeed excellent everywhere, but not surprising as each restaurant has 2 Michelin star chefs.
The staff are so young, friendly and full of energy with your pleasure their goal.
Doing 11 nights to Canaries next year so we can sample all the venues, not just a few.
Difficult getting used to "Ahoy Sailor", but it points out Virgin differences.
