The first cruise ship for Virgin Voyages, Scarlet Lady, was delivered by shipbuilder Fincantieri today at the shipyard in Genoa Sestri Ponente.
The ship recently completed its sea trials, and was delivered to the cruise line.
Scarlet Lady is the first of four ships ordered by Virgin Voyages.
Scarlet Lady is scheduled to set sail on her inaugural maiden voyage on April 1.
The ship weighs approximately 110,000 gross tons and spans 912 feet in length and 125 feet in width. Like each of Virgin Voyages' four ships, Scarlet Lady will be equipped with 1,400 guest cabins that can accommodate more than 2,770 passengers.

Matt loves to cruise, and started Cruise.Blog as a place to share different cruise experiences, advice, and what to know before going on a cruise.
He lives in Florida with his wife and two daughters, where he can be found on any given day trying to convince his wife they "need" to book another cruise.
