About the Ship

What Travelers Say About Valiant Lady

Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Valiant Lady sailing. Based on 900 discussions.

Valiant Lady is Virgin Voyages' second ship and a sister to Scarlet Lady, an adults-only (18+) vessel that trades the buffet line and kids' clubs for a stylish, boutique-hotel-at-sea feel. The vibe is energetic and social without tipping into a non-stop party ship — reviewers describe trendy, upscale-casual travelers, many in their 30s and 40s, who want to relax and 'be themselves' rather than dress up for dinner. It carries up to roughly 2,700 guests, and its signature touches like balcony hammocks, the Squid Ink tattoo studio and the Scarlet Night party give it a personality most mainstream ships lack.

What People Love

  • All dining is included with no upcharges and no buffet — 20+ eateries, widely called some of the best food at sea
  • Standout specialty-quality restaurants like The Wake, Gunbae Korean BBQ and Pink Agave that rival paid venues on other lines
  • Adults-only (18+) atmosphere is a top draw for travelers wanting a calmer, grown-up experience

Common Complaints

  • Dinner service is frequently slow, with multi-course dinners often taking close to two hours
  • Pool and sun decks feel cramped during busy afternoons
  • Some public spaces are small and the layout can be hard to navigate
