Valiant Lady Tour - 2025 Insider Expert Videos

Ahoy sailors! Good morning!

My name is Tatiana Wegzyn,
your INsider Expert,

and today we are
in beautiful sunny Miami,

a terminal “V” for Virgin Voyages.

We are going to explore
the beautiful Valiant Lady ship together,

with our very special guide,
Julia Glick,

the sales director for Virgin Voyages.

Are you ready to explore? Let's go!

What types of cabins can
our clients choose?

Well we have something for everyone.

So, 86% of our ship are our beautiful
Sea Terrace cabins,

which we'll show you in a bit
that have our amazing red hammock.

- Oh!
- But we also have…

for those, if you want that VIP status,

those RockStar Quarters, which are suites.

- I am dying to see one of those rooms.
- Oh…

well you're in luck,
we're about to show you.

And this one is extra special
because it is our largest onboard,

and guess who stays here all the time?

- Sir Richard Branson!
- Sir Richard Branson!

Yes this is his favorite suite,
the massive suite.

And the massive suite is
over 2,000 square feet.

We have a huge sea terrace,

I wouldn't even call a sea terrace,
I would call another another suite,

where we can also host dinner parties
as well.

And so what is this room?
This looks very exciting.

This is where you can bring out
your inner child

where you can go ahead
and play video games

At your request, we will also bring out
certain ones that you like.

And of course,
you can bring out your inner RockStar

with one of these guitars.

And Sir Richard Branson always breaks
these out as well. So…

this is something very different
and cheeky about virgin voyages

that you won't find on any other lines.

We will give you bottomless in-room bar.

It will never be empty!

You'll also get inclusive alcoholic drinks
under $25 unlimited

all throughout our ladyship.

And we will pick you up
within a 50 mile radius

for a private transfer
for that VIP experience.

You'll also get access to our thermal spa.

So you can relax
in our huge Redemption Spa,

where we also have
our thermal suite there.

And…

you will get access to Richard's rooftop

which is private members only
for our suite guests

and of course premium WI-FI,
so you can show off

what you're doing on vacation
as well. So…

those are just some of the inclusions
to have that VIP access

in our Mega RockStars.

Carrera marble designed by Tom Dixon.

And look at this,

you have a plunge tub right here.

A roomie roomie shower as well.

So the suite is impeccable.
It's so beautiful. It's so fun.

But I think my favorite part is
the outdoor space.

You have your own jacuzzi.

You truly don't have to leave
your massive suite.

- No.
- Everything is here for you.

This is one of my favorite parts.

So we have stairs to a table

and it's homage to Sir Richard Branson

because he's been known
to take the stairs up to table

and dance on the table.

So again, this is something really fun.

We also can host cocktail parties here
if you bring friends aboard Virgin.

And of course you have
the famous red hammocks.

- Yup, two.
- Yeah.

And these are our signature
red hammocks by yellow leaf.

These are in all of our Suites
and also our Sea Terrace cabins.

We have 78 suites in total,
so there's something for everyone.

With our RockStar Quarters,

you still get those suite amenities,
just not as much.

But they're amazing.

So with our RockStar Quarters,
you're going to get early access

to dining and our Shore Things,
which is very, very popular.

It opens up 15 days
earlier for suite guests.

You also get VIP entrance
into our terminal,

so you get early boarding as well.

You also get one round in-room bar
on us in your RockStar Quarter

and you gain access to Richard's rooftop.

The moment you walk in,
we have our tableau waiting for you.

You can control lighting,
you can do ambient lighting,

We have certain moods.
We have hangover mood.

We have a party mood.

Any mood you want,
you can add on the tablet

on our Virgin Voyages Sailor app.

You can order ship eats.

The food is hot, it comes hot,

when it's cold, it comes cold.

And we have it in a very fun bag
that arrives to you

and you can order it on your app.

All right. We finally made it.

What is the name of this area?

This is called Richard's Rooftop

and it is private
for our suite guests only.

And we have some fun surprises here.

During sunset,

we do a champagne hour as well
for all of our suite guests.

I love it so all the suites,

no matter which one,
no matter how big,

- gets access to this area?
- Absolutely!

You actually use your wearable

to gain access and you can be here
all day as long as you'd like.

So we're on the open deck
on deck 15 and 16.

As you can see, we're next to the pool

and this is truly the area to relax,
lounge, but also to have fun.

We also have private cabanas as well.

We will give you
included alcoholic beverages

and you can book them full day
or half day.

So you get that a more private experience.

Here we are at the Athletic Club,
aka the largest day bed at sea.

This is also where we host
some of our amazing events,

such as our pajama party,
and that is on every single voyage.

Julia, tell us more
about the Pajama Party.

- That is such a fun thing.
- Yes! So that happens…

usually, we have the pajama party
at 10 p.m. or 11 p.m.

and this becomes a huge party.
Everyone's in their favorite jammies,

you're drinking,

we actually provide milk
and cookies as well.

So it's again something very fun
and different at Virgin Voyages.

So I know that one
of the big selling points

and actually one of my favorite feature
is entertainment on board.

I mean, we just entered the ship
and listened to the music. the DJ,

but there are a lot of production
and shows on board.

- Tell me more about that.
- Yes.

So we actually have our own
original production

and our own studio where we rehearse,
and make bespoke entertainment,

so, on our Lady Ships…

these entertainment shows are included.

We have Persephone,

which is an amazing, amazing show

about the mythology of Persephone
in our red room.

We have our untitled dance party show.

We have our Misbehave show as well,

and one of your favorites
that you said was dancing.

- I loved I Love the Drag, Yeah
- Yeah, yeah!

Around the World with the diva,
which is very, very popular as well.

We really took a lot of time to make sure

that our sailors love the entertainment

and that when they walk off,
they say: “Wow,

I've never seen anything
like that before.”

- So, let's go look at one of those rooms.
- Yeah.

The Manor.

Wow, this is so beautiful.
Tell me more about this venue.

Absolutely.
So this is our Manor nightclub.

It is a two story nightclub.

And here we host
a plethora of different events.

We have our Another Rose dinner show.

Here we also have our VHS workout class.

And this is also
where the party just doesn't stop.

We have bespoke DJ that come aboard
and you can party and dance here

really til the sun comes up.

If you think Lady Luck is on your side,
I highly recommend coming to the casino.

And here we have blackjack,

we have slot machines,
we have electric poker.

I think my game is the roulette
and I'm usually very, very lucky.

So I will try to win some cash
next time we are here.

There's so many restaurants on board,
right?

And I know
that Pink Agave is really special.

- It's Mexican cuisine, right?
- Yes!

- What is what is so unique about it?
- Yes.

So, Pink Agave is very special to us.

It's one of our specialty restaurants
that we include on all our Virgin Voyages,

and it is award winning!

So, we won the TravelAge West
Best Restaurant for Pink Agave.

We're very honored about that.

And the food is amazing.

So, think high end Mexico street cuisine.

We also have the largest mezcal
and tequila bar at sea.

So who doesn't love that.

This is your Italian diner, right?

Absolutely!
And again, these are all included.

All of our specialty restaurants
are included.

They're not an extra charge.

And Extra Virgin is one of my favorites.

My personal favorite dish is a carbonara.

And that's because we make
our pasta fresh,

handmade every single day.

What was your favorite?

I have a recommendation for everybody
who comes to cruise

and visits Extra Virgin.

What I did is that we ordered
every single pasta that was on the menu

to do a phenomenal pasta tasting,
and then you can choose your favorite.

Well, and that's the beauty
about voyaging with us.

You can order as much as you like
and there's no extra charge.

That's the best.

Julia, I know that this is one
of your favorite venues on board

the Wake the steak house.

- Can you tell me more about it?
- Oh, yes!

So The Wake is again another specialty
restaurant that is all included.

And it is our steak
and seafood restaurant.

So yes, you can get a filet mignon
that is included.

And I have to say, look at this venue.

There is not one bad seat in the house.

Every view is amazing.

And this is The Dock.

This is very Mykonos inspired.

And actually,
when I was sailing on Virgin Voyages,

we do an overnight in Mykonos

and we were sailing away
and I was sipping rosé on the dock.

And I have to say I thought,
“Is this heaven?”

But at the dock
we also have our Mezze Hour,

hours I should say,
and you have different types of Mezze,

that's all included, of course,
complimentary as well.

All right, On The Rocks.
We're in the center of the ship,

this is where a lot of parties start.

and then live music is playing
and DJ sounds and beats are here.

And this feels so much different compared
to the era that we just came from.

And this is very,
very cool feature of Virgin.

Absolutely!

Everywhere you walk,

you're going to feel a different vibe
and energy in each different venue.

Here's the heartbeat of the ship.

This is On The Rocks where we have
some of the best mixologists at sea,

and we have so many different bars
off the route.

We have Sip,
which is our champagne lounge,

we have The Dog House,
we have our Pool Bar,

we have Loose Cannon.
Which one's your favorite bar?

My favorite bar is this one.

- This one.
- Because I love the live music.

I love the fact that people start dancing
and also love the fact that the…

Red Night starts from here,

and leads through the stairs
to the open deck.

So I love to start my night here
and then see where that vibes take me.

And this will turn into a dance floor.

-A lot of our sailors will start dancing…
- Exactly

- with the live music.
- I think we should start too.

Here's our Grounds Club
and the coffee is superb.

And the reason is
we partner with Intelligentsia Coffee.

So all of our coffee is
from its Intelligentsia,

and our drip coffee is included as well,
at no extra charge.

The Galley,
this doesn't even look like a buffet.

No. Absolutely not.

Something very different
that we did at Virgin Voyages,

we said no to the buffets.

We have no main dining halls.

Instead, this is The Galley.

So this is really,
I call it like our high end food hall.

There's a cornucopia of food options.

You can get sushi,
right there Bento box, on the go.

We have our taco bar.

We have our diner for burgers
and French fries.

Our salad bar as well.

There's really something for everyone.

So you'll never go hungry
on Virgin Voyages.

- Should we walk around might be fun.
- Yeah,

Julia, thank you so much for showing us
around the beautiful valiant lady Ship

the staterooms, the venues,
the restaurant, the entertainment.

Everything is absolutely spectacular.

Oh, it's my pleasure. It's
my pleasure to have you,

and for everyone to be watching as well.

So, we would love to see you,
right now we're in Miami,

and we do Caribbean voyages,
but we also go out of Barcelona

doing Mediterranean,
out of Athens doing Greek islands.

We go to Alaska, Puerto Rico,
doing more Caribbean.

So we can't wait to see you all

and welcome you all
on board Virgin Voyages.

And stay tuned
for the next INsider Expert.
