PortMiami welcomed the second Virgin Voyages ship, Valiant Lady, as she joined her sister ship Scarlet Lady this weekend, for the sart of her Caribbean cruise season. Valiant Lady will sail six- and eight-night itineraries from Miami this winter, with visits to Roatan, San Juan and St. Croix, as well as Virgin Voyages’ exclusive Beach Club at Bimini.
Before the start of the cruise season, Valiant Lady crew needed to complete the immigration and achieved a 100% score on the Coast Guard inspection.
“It’s been wonderful to see our guests fall in love with sailing the Virgin way, and I’m so proud to welcome our second ship, Valiant Lady, to her winter home in PortMiami,” said Tom McAlpin, CEO of Virgin Voyages. “When we launched this business more than seven years ago, we never imagined the challenges we’d have to overcome in the face of the pandemic. Thanks to our amazing Crew, we have come out strongly. Paired with the support of our guests and travel advisors, we have made our mark with more five-star reviews than any other cruise line. This is just the beginning for Virgin Voyages, and we have big plans for the future.”

What the team at Virgin Voyages has created is beyond my wildest dreams.” Richard Branson saidI. “t's an incredible feeling to be welcoming Valiant Lady and the amazing crew on board to Miami and to have our two lady ships side by side in PortMiami.
