This is Virgin Voyages first ever cruise ship! Virgin Record’s Richard Branson had a new vision for the cruise industry

Sailing on Virgin Voyages will be a very unique experience compared to other cruise lines’ sailings

This is an adult only cruise line that offers many non-traditional inclusions

we probably would not have this as our favorite Cruise pizza because the giovan's Italian Kitchen Pizza on Odyssey of the Seas was Next Level

YouTube Video Description

Scarlet Lady Day 3 Date Filmed: October 17, 2021 Hello Happy Travelers! Ahoy Mates! Welcome onboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady! This is Virgin Voyages first ever cruise ship! Virgin Record’s Richard Branson had a new vision for the cruise industry and the Scarlet Lady is the flagship vessel of that vision. Sailing on Virgin Voyages will be a very unique experience compared to other cruise lines’ sailings. This is an adult only cruise line that offers many non-traditional inclusions and concepts. Included in your cruise fare price are gratuities, basic wi-fi, all dining venues, and non-alcoholic beverages (such as soft drinks). The ship and crew are committed to nautical theming and creating a fun adult-friendly atmosphere! Today we are in Costa Maya Mexico! Before getting off the ship I had a spin class and Matt took on the expedition of trying to find live sporting events onboard! Then we had arguably one of the best pizzas we have ever had on a cruise ship! Once of the ship we tried to go to a free snorkeling spot close to the pier we had frequented on other sailings, but things did not go the way we planned. But we still had lots of fun with our plan B! Once back on the ship we had a yummy dinner at the Wake and took a look at the onboard shopping in the Roundabout! We hope this was helpful and fun for you! If you are interested in planing your own cruise vacation, we would love to assist you!
