Virgin Voyages pushed back startup in U.S. yet again

Scarlet Lady at sea

There has been another delay in Virgin Voyages sailing from the United States.

Virgin has struggled to offer cruises because the line was scheduled to debut right at the beginning of the global health crisis.

The new cruise line announced on Wednesday that it has canceled all sailings from Miami scheduled for late September and early October on Scarlet Lady.

In addition, sailings on Valiant Lady are also cancelled between November 14, 2021 and May 1, 2022.

Guests on the cancelled sailings have a choice of a 125% refund or a 200% future cruise credit.

The new plan is for Scarlet Lady to sail from PortMiami on October 6.

By our count, Virgin has cancelled cruises from Miami six times so far, going back to March 2020.

The good news for Virgin is Scarlet Lady will offer a few sailings from England this summer, which are only available to residents of the U.K.

Scarlet Lady will be equipped with an on ship record shop called Voyage Vinyl, The Groupie, a private karaoke and gaming lounge, and perfectly curated music and performances by up-and-coming artists as well as music trendsetters for Virgin Voyages’ Sailors to enjoy.

Entertainment onboard includes a Vegas style casino, shops, art gallery and auctions, a sports court, live performances, a club, music and a photography studio.
