A bit about it: Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady is the first Virgin Cruise ship to launch and is aimed at those aged 18-35. Set to hold 2,750 guests it will feature 20 different restaurants and bars and unlike traditional cruise dining, bosses reveal plans to switch up meal times. In a “Virgin Twist” on formal dinners, they promise to turn buffet meals and assigned seats on their heads. As well as pools and theatre shows, there will also be a tattoo parlour on board as well as mixology classes and a host of other activities. The interiors are set to be more lifestyle focused and contemporary, curated by designers who have worked on the Ace Hotel chain and Virgin Atlantic Upper Class. There will be a focus on wellbeing, with a Crows Nest that not only offers a 360-degree view, but also a spot for secluded sunrise and sunset yoga. There will be a Virgin red running track, outdoor training zone with boxing ring, strength and gym equipment, bike rooms, MyBeast, an artistic adult playground and fitness apparatus, will add a Venice Beach-like atmosphere to the pool.
We Love: At night you can attend evening spa parties and to get pampered you can head to the standalone dry bar, barbershop and mani-pedi spa.
