One of Virgin’s four Lady ships, the Valiant Lady has the sleek sophistication and hotel-style features of her sister ships.Offering adult only cruising, there’s a buzzing atmosphere, a warm and friendly crew, and an inclusive vibe. Catering for those looking for entertainment as well as relaxation and a chance to reenergise, this large ship has cleverly incorporated small intimate spaces, lounges, and seating areas, to create a personal and sociable environment. Excellent use of soundproofing and vibration-reducing systems helps to detract from feeling overwhelmed by the ship’s size, endless nightlife options and wide variety of onboard activities.

Guests can choose from 1,404 cabins and suites, all of which include Wi-Fi and tablet with the Virgin Voyages App to adjust the mood lighting, watch a movie or order 24/7 ShipEats. There are three categories of cabin: Insider, Sea View, and Sea Terrace, which includes a private balcony with hammock and sleeps 2-4 guests. Designed by Tom Dixon, RockStar Quarters Suites offer a more residential experience with marble-clad bathrooms, spacious terrace, fully stocked bar, and champagne table, while the prestigious Mega RockStar Quarters Suites include daily spa access and priority booking access to the onboard eateries, events, and experiences. All suite guests have access to concierge services from RockStar Agents and enjoy exclusive access to Richard’s Rooftop sundeck with panoramic views and cocktails.

With a choice of over 20 eateries from menus designed by Michelin-starred chefs to red hot Mexican and healthy vegan options, whether you want sophisticated dining or a more casual brasserie experience, there is something to suit all moods and palates. The food is all-inclusive, as well as all beverages and soft drinks. Again, the choice of bars is impressive with top mixologists on show, a champagne lounge and pool bar among many. The award-winning nightlife offers a fabulous choice of entertainment from Broadway shows, live music, nightclub parties to private karaoke, a gaming arcade, and casino. For keeping fit, there are complimentary group workouts, a well-equipped gym, and on deck running track and for looking and feeling good, head to the spa for relaxation therapies, massage, hair, and beauty treatments. There’s even a tattoo parlour, the Squid Ink, in an homage to the days where sailors marked their voyages with body art. The Valiant Lady sails out of Barcelona and offers a range of European itineraries.
