Virgin Voyages - Valiant Lady Ship

Ian Walsh on 06 October 2024
A cruise on Virgin Voyages' Valiant Lady is an unforgettable experience, filled with luxurious accommodations, vibrant entertainment, and top-notch dining! Although it is buzzy ship with a lively atmosphere by day and by night, you can still find quiet places to chill and relax, low key bars and restaurants to completely unwind and dine in.

I stayed in a Sea Terrace room, which offers stunning ocean views from a private balcony, complete with a relaxing hammock. The room's sleek, modern design and tech-savvy features, such as mood lighting and a tablet that controls everything from the TV to the curtains, provide ultimate comfort. The cabin exudes a contemporary, chic vibe, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure onshore!

Dining aboard the Valiant Lady is a culinary journey in itself. With no traditional buffets, the ship offers an array of specialty restaurants, each delivering a unique experience, and all included in your cruise fare! From the innovative test kitchen at The Test Kitchen, where experimental cooking shines offers an amazing show in itself! The food is so well presented and can be paired with select wines to enhance the flavours too! The flavourful small plates at Razzle Dazzle were a delight, the indulgent steakhouse fare at The Wake, and the elegant sushi at Gunbae, each meal is an opportunity to savour something new. Every dining experience is a gourmet treat with fresh ingredients and impeccable presentation.

One of the highlights on board was the Scarlet Pool Party, a sensational event! Be sure to take something red for this party. The atmosphere around the Scarlet Lady’s signature red pool was electric, with live DJs, cocktails, and a crowd ready to celebrate under the stars. This open-air party, complete with lighting effects and a vibrant crowd, captures the free-spirited, fun energy that Virgin Voyages is well known for.

Pop-up Performances Throughout the ship, there are spontaneous performances ranging from musicians to magicians. These surprise performances add to the ship's lively atmosphere and happen in various spaces.

The Red Room This is Valiant Lady’s main performance space, designed to transform for different types of shows. It features:

2. The Manor This two-story nightclub is named after Virgin founder Richard Branson’s first recording studio. It’s known for:

Late-night parties: After dark, it transforms into a high-energy dance club with DJ sets and themed parties. Drag performances: Featuring queens who put on a fun and flamboyant show.

3. The Groupie A private karaoke lounge where you and your friends can sing your hearts out. There are multiple themed karaoke rooms, and it’s a great way to have some fun in a more intimate setting.

4. The Social Club A retro-style games lounge and bar offering classic arcade games, air hockey, and table shuffleboard. A casual place to hang out and enjoy some nostalgic fun.

6. The Dock House and The Pool These outdoor spaces often feature live music and DJ sets during the day and early evenings, providing a laid-back vibe for guests who want to relax or dance under the stars.

Our cruise also included an overnight stop in Ibiza, which allowed us to experience the famous nightlife of the island. We had a fantastic night at Amnesia nightclub, one of the most iconic clubs in the world. We danced until the very early hours.

The combination of Valiant Lady's luxurious lifestyle at sea and the legendary party atmosphere in Ibiza made for an unforgettable adventure.

From chic, modern accommodations to endless entertainment and exquisite dining, the Valiant Lady cruise offers the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement.
