VIRGIN Voyages’ Scarlet Lady will undergo an “epic glow-up” this spring, heading into dry dock for new suites, elevated dining concepts, and revamped bar and lounge spaces.
The cruise line’s inaugural vessel is reimagining a number of her eateries, with Razzle Dazzle, Scarlet’s veggie-friendly brunch option, to introduce a new evening concept.
Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle will present a Chinese-inspired menu with craft cocktails, fresh on the heels of the successful Asian Night Market.
Paired with a distinctively stylish design that swaps communal tables for intimate, loungey booths, the amplified space will come alive at night.
Ground Club Too (render pictured), the coffee bar located in The Galley, will transform by night into a full-service bar with intimate lounge space, colourful cocktails, countertop seating, emerald benches, rust-coloured couches, and more.
Several of Scarlet’s Sea Terrace staterooms on deck 11 will be converted to create 24 Seriously Suite RockStar Quarters.
The most popular among the suite categories, Virgin’s Seriously Suites measure 33m2, with a European king bed, peek-a-boo shower, in-room record and vinyls, a stocked bar, and the cruise line’s customary hammock.
Meanwhile on deck, VIP cabanas flanked by white curtains and luxe daybeds will overlook the Aquatic Club.
The six bookable cabanas can be reserved individually or connected for larger groups.
Finally, Scarlet’s Redemption Spa will see the creation of a couples treatment room where duos can recharge.
Scarlet will also debut a new mermaid on her bow, one of Virgin’s trademarks.
The newly renovated ship will then make the 16-night trans-Atlantic journey from Rome to Miami before embarking on longer Caribbean voyages.
The six-night Western Caribbean Charm and eight-night Eastern Caribbean Antilles will venture into the tropical Caribbean waters of destinations like St. Croix, Costa Maya, Roatan, San Juan, Puerto Plata and Bimini.
Every voyage aboard the refreshed Scarlet includes a stop at Virgin’s Beach Club. MS
“We’re listening and giving travellers more of what they’ve asked for — this includes more suites, luxe new cabanas and fresh, vibey dining concepts — so Sailors can truly live the life of a rockstar,” Vice President of Fleet Experience Nicole Huang said. MS
