Valiant Lady

Restaurants on Valiant Lady, all in the fare

Every restaurant on Valiant Lady is included in the fare, so choosing where to eat comes down to mood rather than cost. Pink Agave brings the street food of Mexico City to sea as shareable, social dishes, paired with tequila and mezcal and a DJ keeping the night going. Ariya by Razzle Dazzle, curated by Chef Maneet Chauhan, serves modern Indian cooking designed for sharing, with saffron-laced mains and cardamom cocktails. The Test Kitchen is the one for the curious, with tasting menus that keep changing and hands-on labs in mixology and coffee craft. When you just want something quick, The Galley gathers a bakery, sushi and noodle stations and a 24-hour American diner under one roof.

San Juan and Miami, Barcelona, then north from Amsterdam

The Caribbean is where Valiant Lady sails from November into the spring. From San Juan, Puerto Rico, she runs 6-, 7- and 8-night round trips between November and March, right through the Australian summer; stops change between departures, but you might see Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Bridgetown, Barbados and Castries, Saint Lucia. From Miami she sails 5- to 7-night round trips from April to June and October to December, with Beach Club, Bimini a typical call, and our Caribbean sailings for 2027 show what is open. She also runs 3- and 4-night round trips from Miami in April, November and December, and for those we book the flight, a night or two in Miami and the transfers with the cruise, just as we put the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers on one booking wherever she sails from, so each sailing becomes part of a longer holiday.

From April to July, and again in September and October, she is in the Western Mediterranean on 6- and 7-night round trips from Barcelona. Typical calls include Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Cannes and Civitavecchia for Rome, though ports vary by departure; browse Mediterranean sailings for 2027 to see them alongside other lines.

In July and August, the Australian winter, she heads north for round trips from Amsterdam of 7, 11, 12, 16 and 17 nights, the longest giving time for a proper sweep of Norway and Scandinavia. Ports differ between voyages; Bergen, Flåm, Oslo and Copenhagen are among them, and some voyages reach Stockholm. She sails for Virgin Voyages alongside Scarlet Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady.

Bars and late nights on Valiant Lady

Valiant Lady’s evenings revolve around bars with very different characters. The Loose Cannon channels Brighton’s seaside bars: a nautical dive with a real cannon, trivia nights and cocktails such as El Capitano’s Gun Powder. Sip is a champagne lounge that works for a glamorous breakfast, afternoon tea or a glass of fizz under the moon. Later on, The Manor is her nightclub, free to enter, with live entertainment as the night builds. By day, The Athletic Club offers a boxing ring and a basketball court free to all guests.

How do drinks work on Valiant Lady?

Drinks at Valiant Lady’s bars are paid as you go or drawn from a Bar Tab bought before you sail, because Virgin Voyages sells no drinks package. The bars themselves are free to walk into, and food is a different matter: at Gunbae, a complimentary soju shot comes with the Korean barbecue.

Valiant Lady cabins and deck plans

Her suites come with the ship’s private enclave, RockStar Quarters. Guests in RockStar and Mega RockStar suites have Richard’s Rooftop, a private sundeck with panoramic ocean views, shaded daybeds, champagne tables, complimentary drinks and bottle service. The Valiant Lady cabins and deck plans lay out the RockStar suites and the rest of her accommodation deck by deck.
