Virgin Voyages is currently building its first cruise ship, the Scarlet Lady, which will set sail at the beginning of 2020. However, with its much-anticipated ship on the way, the new cruise line has unveiled details of its exclusive RockStar Suites.
The suites are steeped in the Virgin brand's rock and roll heritage and offer a fresh take on the glamour of yachting.
The suites' retro-futurism design, spearheaded by Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio, is inspired by mega yachts and the glory days of rock and roll and features a palette of deep blues used with iridescent dichroic elements to echo the deep blue color of the sea.
As expected, there are a number of VIP perks associated with these exclusive rooms. The Rockstar Coordinator is a personal assistant that is assigned to each of these staterooms. Guests also receive private transportation, a personal wardrobe team for packing and unpacking, a complimentary pressing service, a nightly express swimsuit drying service and exclusive early access to onboard entertainment and restaurants.
Passengers booked in this category also receive exclusive access to Richard's Rooftop-a secluded, members-only club for guests in the RockStar Suites to bask in the sun or have a drink under the stars.
Onboard the Scarlet Lady, there will be 78 RockStar Suites in total, with eight different variations. All will have a sea terrace, electric, adjustable lighting including blackout curtains and a gold-plated vinyl record player accompanied by an en-suite collection of classic records.
