About the Ship

What Travelers Say About Scarlet Lady

Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Scarlet Lady sailing. Based on 1,400 discussions.

Scarlet Lady is Virgin Voyages' debut ship and the flagship of its adults-only (18+), no-kids concept, carrying up to about 2,762 'Sailors' at roughly 110,000 GT. It deliberately throws out cruise conventions: no buffet (replaced by The Galley food hall), no formal nights, and no children aboard. The result is a sophisticated, boutique-hotel feel that bundles Wi-Fi, gratuities, all restaurants, soda, and fitness classes into the fare.

What People Love

  • Specialty restaurants (The Wake, Gunbae, Razzle Dazzle, Extra Virgin, Pink Agave) are included in the fare with no cover charge — rated among the best food at sea
  • Truly inclusive pricing bundles Wi-Fi, gratuities, all restaurants, group fitness, and basic soda — minimal nickel-and-diming
  • Adults-only (18+), boutique-hotel atmosphere with no kids and a sophisticated-but-playful vibe

Common Complaints

  • Only two small pools that fill up fast — the most common complaint, with daybeds claimed early
  • Buggy, low-rated app and a clunky reservation model make booking dining a hassle
  • Long, disorganized embarkation with multi-hour waits reported
