Virgin Voyages is sailing into the fall of 2021 following the kick-off of Scarlet Lady sailings and the announcement of Valiant Lady's spring 2022 itineraries.

Virgin Voyages' first ship, the Scarlet Lady, made her debut in the UK at the beginning of August. She is sailing six U.K. sailings around the English Channel this summer and is the first of four Virgin ships.

The cruise departs Portusmout and arrives in Zeebrugge at 9 a.m. for a full day and evening in the city. The third day is at sea before returning to Zeebrugge around noon. Guests then arrive back in Portsmouth in the early morning of the last day.

Voyages begin in Portsmouth and travel to La Coruna, overnight in Lisbon, followed by Cadiz and Gibraltar, an overnight in Malaga, and overnight in Palma de Mallorca and then concluding in Barcelona.
