From launching two premium, award-winning ships – Scarlet and Valiant Lady – to building a loyal following in the travel world, the company is bringing thousands of Sailors to the open ocean and clocking record bookings thanks to the brand’s undeniable value for money.
Additionally, every voyage will have an onboard experience rooted in wellness between January and March as it unveils a line-up of restorative and zen-inducing events such as sound bath meditations and healthy happy hours to start off 2023. Virgin Voyages is a brand known for listening to and leveraging customer insights.
Resilient Lady
It is capitalising on its travel market share by meeting these demands with an elevated, inclusive offer. Following the excitement of the holidays, Sailors can take advantage of the most inclusive offer ever, which includes up to USD$600 (AUD$ 870.77) in free bevies and hand-crafted cocktails for all new bookings. Everyone will also be treated to a complimentary Bar Tab: USD$300 (AUD$443.22) for six nights or fewer voyages and USD$600 (AUD$870.77) for voyages seven nights or more.
It was an epic year for Richard Branson’s new cruise line, Virgin Voyages.
All four Virgin Voyages vessels are eligible over the following dates:
● Scarlet: December 18, 2022 – December 27, 2023
● Valiant: December 17, 2022 – December 30, 2023
● Resilient: May 14, 2023 – March 15, 2024

Most recently, Virgin Voyages won “Best Value for Money” in US News & World Report’s “Best Cruise Lines” rankings and was recognised among the top cruise lines in the world in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure’s 2022 World’s Best Awards.
Scarlet Lady
The new line-up includes restorative and curated spa treatments like the signature quartz massage, energy-bursting HIIT workouts, zen-inducing activations, freshly pressed juices and good-for-you indulgences, health-conscious bevies offered during specialty happy hours, core-tightening bungee sessions and slow-flowing yoga under the gently setting sun.
2022 was a red-letter year, and 2023 promises to be even better as we launch Resilient Lady, expand globally to more than 100 stunning ports across four continents, and introduce new entertainment and well-being events.
Mainly in part to the entertainment, Virgin Voyages was presented with Cruise Critic’s 2022 award for the best nightlife, along with the best dining, and named the best cruise for LGBTQ+ travellers. According to a recent article by Elle Magazine featuring wellness trends for 2023, experts say that travellers prioritise flexible schedules and self-care, working out whenever and wherever, and seeking international wellness expeditions meant to enrich their lives.
Virgin Voyages, a company with a natural tie to music given Richard Branson’s hay days as a music exec, also has plans to introduce new entertainment. To help our Sailors have a fantastic new year, we are giving them early access to our most inclusive offer ever,” said Isis Ruiz, Chief Growth Officer.
Sailor favourites will still be available, including Duel Reality, the modern take on Romeo and Juliet, and UNTITLED
Valiant Lady
DANCESHOWPARTYTHING, an upbeat dance show. Still, the brand will sprinkle in new productions and limited-time shows. This offer has everything travellers need to make it a memorable vacation they will love and cherish for years to come.
Quickly becoming a must-see production on Valiant Lady, “It’s a Ship Show” will soon be installed on Scarlet Lady, yet another element future Sailors can anticipate for 2023. “We wanted to give travellers something to look forward to and have a chance to plan a getaway with loved ones during the holidays. Starting in January and running through March, Virgin Voyages will help Sailors jumpstart their wellness journeys, offering everything from rhythm-based spin classes to sound bath meditations on the shores of Bimini.
While a relatively young brand, Virgin Voyages has already made its mark on the industry with its incredible Michelin-inspired dining, rebooking rate of nearly 50% and receiving the most five-star reviews on TripAdvisor. Up & coming musical artists will also have a platform to showcase their talent for Virgin Voyages’ Sailors as a part of an extensive line-up of immersive entertainment.
