Scarlet Lady

Scarlet Lady — Virgin Voyages | In the Wake is a Virgin Class cruise ship operated by Virgin Voyages. She entered service in 2020, measures 110,000 gross tons, and carries approximately 2,770 guests at double occupancy.

Quick Answer: Scarlet Lady is Virgin Voyages' inaugural ship — 110,000 GT, 2,770 guests, launched in 2021. She is adults-only (18+), sails Caribbean itineraries from Miami, and includes all dining and basic beverages in the fare. This page covers deck plans, live tracking, dining venues, and videos.

Best For: Adults who want a cruise that doesn't feel like a traditional cruise — no formal nights, no buffet, no kids. Scarlet Lady suits travelers who prefer a festival-style atmosphere with DJ sets, tattoo parlors, and 20+ dining options included in the fare.

Scarlet Lady tends to suit younger adults, couples, and friend groups who find mainstream cruise lines too traditional. Virgin's approach strips away the typical cruise conventions — no main dining room, no assigned seating, no buffet. Instead, you get a collection of distinct restaurants (all included), a vinyl record shop, a nightclub, and an Athletic Club. If you want kids' clubs, formal night glamour, or a ship packed with waterslides, this is the wrong line. All four Virgin ships are identical sisters, so the choice between them comes down to itinerary: Scarlet Lady focuses on Caribbean sailings from Miami.
