The Perfect Sea Day on Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady
Beccy Miller
Virgin Voyages have taken the cruise industry by storm - this year, they have scooped several prestigious awards from Cruise Critic, Condé Nast & Cosmopolitan. If you haven't sailed with them, come with us as we spend the perfect sea day on Valiant Lady.
Stretch & Rise
Shake off the morning haze and head to The Perch. This unique outdoor space, situated on the top deck, is your oasis for yoga. Guided by experienced instructors, you stretch into your best warrior pose while enjoying the invigorating sea breeze, the perfect way to kickstart your day.
Dazzle at Breakfast
Head down to Razzle Dazzle for breakfast. You opt for the Watermelon with sesame cream and housemade granola, followed by the fun coconut milk fairy toast, (a brioche french toast with condensed milk and rainbow sprinkles). Yum.
Unwind in the Spa
After breakfast, you head over to the Redemption Spa. The central pool features spacious porthole windows with stunning views of the sea. Take your time exploring the luxurious amenities, which include a mud room, a sauna, a steam room, a swimming pool, heated loungers, and a salt room, along with cold plunge pools and hot tubs.
Grab Lunch at The Dock
Feeling truly re-energised, you make your way up to The Dock. You sit facing the sea, allowing the breeze to cool you as you order some light bites to go with your refreshing cocktail. The grilled shrimp and Hanger steak are particularly delicious.
Browse for Vinyl
After some nibbles, you decided to browse the shops. There is a vinyl store on board which is spinning some tunes whilst you flick through the selection. There is also a listening station where you can listen to current and classic albums.
Chill Out at The Aquatic Club
Grab yourself a comfy lounger and unwind poolside at the trendy Aquatic Club, with the ambience of an exclusive members' club. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere, take a dip in the pool to beat the heat and don't forget to treat yourself to a revitalising juice from the Gym & Tonic Bar.
Shake for Champagne
After taking five on your balcony to relax in your hand-woven hammock it's time to get ready for the evening ahead. Once you're preened and ready, head to the central hub of the ship and treat yourself to some champagne. Shake the ship's app three times and as if by magic, someone will arrive with a bottle, just for you.
Dinner at The Wake
There are so many stunning dining options to choose from with Virgin Voyages and tonight you're at The Wake. With stunning floor to ceiling windows tilted at the back of the ship, you are treated to incredible views of the ocean as you feast on fresh oysters and the finest cuts of steak.
Hit the Dancefloor in The Manor
Head through sparkly mirrored walls to The Manor for a nightcap. This two-floored venue hosts show dinners, but tonight, the DJ is on and you are free to show off your best moves as you dance into the small hours. You grab a late-night snack from The Pizza Place, made freshly to order, before retiring to your room, ready to rest before you do it all again.
