DETROIT (March 21, 2019) – CruiseCompete, the premier online cruise marketplace since 2003, lauded by the press and consumers alike, has added Virgin Voyages to its expansive cruise offerings.
Virgin Voyages, the new lifestyle brand, has announced details of its first ship, Scarlet Lady. With four- and five-night voyages to the Caribbean, guests will set sail in sleek uber yacht style with Virgin Voyages’ patent-pending cabin design featuring the Seabed, a completely new transformational bed that converts from European queen-sized bed to lounger.
With clever cabin lighting, the mood lighting will automatically adjust to enhance the time of day based on where the ship is in the world, reflecting the blue seas and the gold to purple sunsets of the Caribbean waters. The cabins will feature PIR presence sensors that automatically detect when someone has left the cabin and go into energy saver mode, where blinds will close and air conditioning will adjust to an eco-saver temperature, conserving energy to support the company’s commitment to operate one of the cleanest fleets at sea.
All terraces aboard Scarlet Lady will feature custom-designed hammocks, handwoven by artisans from Yellow Leaf a social enterprise that fosters women's empowerment and community transformation in rural Thailand. With several cabin categories there are 1,330 cabins aboard the Scarlet Lady and 78 “RockStar” suites.
Itineraries
Guests will embark on their journey aboard Scarlet Lady from Miami, where they can toast to the Magic City’s colorful evening skyline as the ship sets sail at 7 p.m.
The Scarlet Lady will offer four and five-night Havana After Dark itineraries that embarks on a cultural quest through Cuba, with an overnight stay in Havana, with ample time to explore and visit.
Virgin Voyages’ Mayan Sol itinerary will be a five-night voyage to Costa Maya, Mexico, where antiquity contrasts modernism, with Mayan ruins just a stone’s throw away from the port and colorful coral reefs that lie just off-shore.
