Virgin Voyages, the new adults only cruise line from business mogul Richard Branson, has released three new videos showing more features of their first cruise ship, Scarlet Lady.
This first video gives a better look at the outside of the cruise ship. The outdoor decks are lined with cabanas and plenty of chairs, perfect for taking in the view as you cruise the Caribbean.
This video gives us a look at one of the pools onboard that has two hot tubs at the Gym & Tonic bar.
A video giving us an inside look at the Redemption Spa onboard the cruise ship. This area looks like a great place to unwind and relax.
Virgin Voyages also announced that their three cruise ships will be free of single use plastics that include straws, water bottles, stirrers, and condiment packs. They posted the following message on their website this past week when they made the announced about plastics:
“We have committed to vastly decreasing plastic usage and increasing reusable and recyclable materials on all of our ships.
If operated like a traditional ship, we estimate that each vessel would generate 300 tons of disposable plastic per year. Our goal is to reduce that amount of plastic by at least 50%, and divert remaining plastics to recycling.
That means eliminating single-use plastics across a whole range of products sailors will use like plastic straws, water bottles, stirrers, condiment packs and other unnecessary food packaging. We also plan to provide all sailors with reusable drink bottles, and will offer complimentary still and sparkling water throughout the ship. Bye, bye plastic water bottles.”
Scarlet Lady is scheduled to debut in 2020 and will sail cruises to the Caribbean out of the Cruise Capital of the World, PortMiami. Exact itineraries and cruise lengths will be announced at a later time. Cruise Fever will have the latest when these details are announced.
Looking forward to seeing actual footage of their ship. renders are great but show they need to show us real footage
Looking forward to sailing on this ship, dancing the night away with out 5 year old under my feet, or a 16 year old with 1/4 of a bathing suit on, or tweens running thru the ship with more entertainment for them until 1:30 am than for adults !! I hope they have ample outdoor and indoor smoking sections with comfortable seating for the people who want to relax and enjoy a cigar and brandy, and not be forced in a casino to smoke.
I have faith Sir Branson, will make us all happy! Including the environment.
Adult only cruise sound fantasti AND a total NON-SMOKING cruise would really have me booking a cruise today… I detest smoking…

We are booking it for next year Margaret. Pam promised me a cruise on it so we are going. Already had meeting at our office with their business development manager. We cant wait to board!
It’s wanted and we look forward to hearing more.
