CRUISE NEWS: Scarlet Lady takes the spotlight in Virgin Voyages’ Winter 2027–2028 season, introducing the brand’s first-ever Transatlantic sailing from Barcelona to San Juan alongside a full season of new six- to eight-night Southern Caribbean itineraries from Puerto Rico. Scarlet Lady, the brand’s flagship vessel, is currently sailing her signature 5-5-4 Caribbean itineraries following a recent refresh of onboard spaces and programming.
Designed around destination-forward itineraries with intentionally curated kid-free sea days, the season blends long stays with the brand’s signature adults-only experience and award-winning onboard offerings.
First-Ever Barcelona to San Juan Transatlantic
Scarlet Lady takes the spotlight in Virgin Voyages’ Winter 2027–2028 Season. Kicking off the season is a 12-night Transatlantic sailing from Barcelona to San Juan, marking Virgin Voyages’ first westbound ocean crossing between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
Some voyage highlights include:
- A call in Tangier, Morocco
- A maiden call in Lanzarote, Canary Islands
- Multiple sea days designed as immersive resort-style experiences at sea
The sailing also features a Halloween-themed enhanced voyage, offering seasonal onboard programming during the Atlantic crossing.
Southern Caribbean, Reimagined From San Juan
Following the Transatlantic, Scarlet Lady will call San Juan home for the winter season, sailing a range of new Southern Caribbean itineraries built for flexibility and extended port calls.
Itinerary lengths include:
- 6 Nights: Four port days with minimal sea time, ideal for shorter getaways.
- 7 Nights: A blend of destination immersion and restorative sea days.
- 8 Nights: Slower-paced sailings with sea days positioned as a feature.
Scarlet Lady takes the spotlight in Virgin Voyages’ Winter 2027–2028 Season and the season covers some of the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations including Aruba, Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, Barbados and more across the Lesser Antilles. Most port calls are full-day affairs, running longer than the industry norm. Aruba gets late-night stays throughout the season, including over the December holidays. Scarlet Lady will be docked in the sun-drenched island on Christmas Eve eve for Sailors who would rather spend it on an island than in an airport.
Strategic San Juan Homeport
San Juan connects to 100+ direct flights from across the U.S., and with Scarlet Lady’s departures on Saturdays and Sundays, Sailors can opt for a full week in the Caribbean without burning extra vacation days on either end.
Scarlet Lady takes the spotlight in Virgin Voyages’ Winter 2027–2028 Season and the 2027–2028 deployment incorporates a greater balance of sea days and port days, allowing Sailors to indulge in an elevated, kid-free experience featuring Michelin-inspired dining, award-winning entertainment, WiFi and group fitness classes, all included in voyage fare.
