Straight off the heels of Resilient Lady’s successful maiden voyage from Melbourne, Australia, to Hobart, Tasmania, on December 11, Virgin Voyages shared more exciting news for would-be passengers in the form of an unprecedented wave season sale.
Virgin Voyages is offering an enticing offer through 31 January 2024. Under the promotion, customers booking a voyage for one person will receive a substantial 70% discount on the fare for a second passenger.
Bar Tab credits further sweeten this offer, allowing customers to enjoy up to $600 for onboard purchases. These purchases include specialty coffees, top-shelf cocktails, and the brand’s signature Shake for Champagne feature with Moët delivery on demand.
The Bar Tab promotion is structured with tiers based on voyage length: $100 for voyages four nights or less, $200 for 5 to 6 nights, $300 for 7 to 13 nights, and $600 for trips lasting 14 nights or more.
Looking ahead to the summer of 2025, Virgin Voyages has ambitious plans to expand its reach by adding 21 new port destinations across its itinerary. These additions span a diverse range of locales, including Iceland, Italy, Ireland, and the Caribbean. Noteworthy among these are the picturesque ports of Reykjavik, Naples, Dublin, Istanbul, and Porto in Portugal.
Scarlet Lady, boasting a capacity of 2,700 passengers and weighing in at 110,000 tons, is set to navigate through Europe. The ship will embark on a mix of 6- to 15-night sails, exploring destinations like southern Spain, Mallorca, Morocco, and the historic cities of Florence and Rome in Italy before returning to Portsmouth, UK. From Portsmouth, the ship will undertake a series of voyages to Reykjavik, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, and the French cities of Bordeaux and Cannes.
Mirroring the capacity and size of Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady will continue its popular 4- and 5-night Caribbean routes, adding longer voyages to the idyllic Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos and Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands.
Resilient Lady, currently positioned in Australia and New Zealand and accommodating 2,700 passengers, will chart a course through Bail, Indonesia; Singapore; Phuket, Thailand; Oman; Dubai; and Santorini, Greece, en route to Athens. Upon arrival, it will launch 7-night Greek voyages and introduce new 10- and 11-night itineraries, calling on Istanbul; Mykonos, Greece; Dubrovnik, Croatia; and Crete.
