Virgin Voyages has introduced its latest ship.
Valiant Lady will sail her way around the UK this March, stopping at London International Cruise Terminal (Tilbury) and Liverpool ahead of her MerMaiden voyage from Portsmouth, before docking at her homeport in Barcelona.
Speaking of the arrival of Valiant Lady to the UK, Tom McAlpin, CEO of Virgin Voyages, says, “Following the success of our first lady ship, Scarlet Lady, we are so excited to debut Valiant Lady to the UK this March and begin our European tour. The lifting of UK travel restrictions has already shown promising signs with a 70% uplift in bookings since December – and we can’t wait to welcome Sailors on board!
“We’ll be showcasing our newest lady in Tilbury and Liverpool, where fans are invited to wave her in before we kick off our bookable European sailings from Portsmouth in March and our new homeport in Barcelona in May. Our epic sailings have curated itineraries that are unbelievably accessible for those in the UK wanting to cruise differently, and we look forward to hitting the high seas and showing both budding and avid sailors how to voyage the Virgin way.”
Valiant Lady features 1,330 cabins, 78 RockStar Quarters and two iconic Massive Suites which boast their own turntables and private hot tub.
86 percent of cabins hold a balcony and 93 percent feature ocean views. All cabins feature a new elevated design to bring warmer energy and a more sophisticated feel, with increased drawers and storage space.
The ship also boasts first-class entertainment, state of the art health and wellness facilities, and exquisite dining experiences curated by Michelin-starred chefs.
Valiant Lady has curated itineraries featuring longer port stays and overnighters in some of Europe’s most idyllic islands and effervescent cities, including Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza.
Speaking of the launch, Sir Richard Branson said: “Virgin Voyages has been a dream in the making since my 20s and today is a momentous day launching our second ladyship, Valiant Lady. It’s exciting to be able to celebrate our continued growth as a brand that’s on a mission to voyage like no other. In our five decades in business, Virgin has always sought to offer our customers something extra special, and Virgin Voyages has worked tirelessly to do just that.”
