Valiant Lady is the second ship in Virgin Voyages' adults-only fleet, sharing Scarlet Lady's dimensions and design language but with reworked social spaces and additional seating to ease the standing-room crowding some guests found on the first ship. She splits her year by region: summers are spent sailing 7-night Mediterranean loops from Barcelona to ports such as the French Riviera, Mallorca, and Naples, while the rest of the year brings her back across the Atlantic for Caribbean sailings from Miami and San Juan. Like her sister ships, she's built entirely for guests 18 and over, with no kids' clubs, formal nights, or fixed dining times — just 20+ included restaurants and a design-forward, superyacht-inspired feel throughout.

✦ The standout feature

Valiant Lady is home to exclusive shows found nowhere else in the fleet — including the god/goddess-themed party We Fancy, the interactive game show It's a Ship Show, and the late-night Studio 72 — plus noticeably more lounge seating than Scarlet Lady after early guest feedback drove design tweaks.

Video Tour

Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady — Full Ship Walkthrough Tour

✓ Best for
  • Couples and solo travellers wanting seasonal Mediterranean sailings
  • Adult travellers who want more lounge and seating space than Scarlet Lady
  • Foodies who want no cover charges across 20+ restaurants
  • Guests who want one ship that alternates between Europe and the Caribbean
✗ Not the right fit for

Families with children — Virgin Voyages does not accept anyone under 18 on any sailing. Also not for cruisers wanting a single, predictable homeport — Valiant Lady repositions across the Atlantic each spring and fall, so itineraries and pricing shift seasonally.

Typical pricing

7-night Mediterranean from ~$1,300/pp (Insider) to $3,000+/pp (RockStar Suite)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Valiant Lady adults-only like Scarlet Lady?
Yes. Every Virgin Voyages ship, including Valiant Lady, requires all guests to be 18 or older on the date of departure. There are no exceptions, no kids' clubs, and no family cabins anywhere in the fleet — it's the defining feature of the brand.
Where does Valiant Lady sail?
Valiant Lady splits her year by region: roughly May through October she sails 7-night Mediterranean loops from Barcelona to ports like the French Riviera and the Balearic Islands, then shifts to Caribbean itineraries from Miami and San Juan for the rest of the year.
How is Valiant Lady different from Scarlet Lady?
The two ships share dimensions and most restaurants, but Valiant Lady was refined based on early Scarlet Lady feedback, adding more lounge seating to reduce crowding. She also has her own exclusive shows, including We Fancy and It's a Ship Show, not found on Scarlet Lady.
Can solo travellers cruise Valiant Lady without paying extra?
Yes. Valiant Lady offers dedicated Solo Insider and Solo Sea Terrace cabins with no single supplement, and the ship's communal dining tables and Beach Club layout make solo travel especially easy.
