Next March, the Valiant Lady will tour the UK, visiting the ports of Tilbury and Liverpool, before making its limited-booking MerMaiden voyage from Portsmouth, before docking at its home port of Barcelona.
Regarding the arrival of the Valiant Lady in the UK, Tom McAlpin, Managing Director of Virgin Voyages, said: “Following the success of our first ship, the Scarlet Lady, we are delighted to launch the Valiant Lady this March and begin our European tour. The easing of travel restrictions in the UK has already shown promising signs, with a 70% increase in bookings since December, and we look forward to welcoming passengers on board.”.
We'll be introducing our newest star in Tilbury and Liverpool, where fans are invited to greet her before we launch our European sailings from Portsmouth in March and our new homeport in Barcelona in May. Our voyages feature itineraries for those in Europe looking for a different kind of cruise, and we can't wait to get out to sea and show you how to travel the Virgin way.”.
Following the celebrated debut of her sister ship Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady boasts 1,330 staterooms and 78 RockStar Quarters—not to mention the two iconic Massive Suites, complete with their own record players and private whirlpool tubs—all recognized by the industry as the best suites at sea. With 86% of staterooms featuring balconies and 93% offering ocean views, the staterooms are designed to create a warmer ambiance and a more sophisticated feel.
The brand's new ship also features first-class entertainment, state-of-the-art health and wellness facilities, and exquisite dining experiences curated by Michelin-starred chefs, giving sailors the ultimate dose of sea vitamin.
The Valiant Lady has designed itineraries that include longer stays in port and overnight stays in some of Europe's most idyllic islands and most vibrant cities, such as Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza.
Regarding the launch, Sir Richard Branson said: “Virgin Voyages has been a budding dream since my 20s, and today is a momentous day for the launch of our second ship, Valiant Lady. It’s exciting to be able to celebrate our continued growth as a brand with a mission to travel 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 deliver that.”.
