Virgin Voyages’ first ship Scarlet Lady will call at Dover and Liverpool before homeporting in Miami next year, Travel Weekly reports on its website.

The 2,700-passenger ship will sail from Genoa where it is being built before arriving in the UK in late February. Miami based Virgin Voyages that is part of the London based Virgin Group has four 110,000 gross ton ships on order at Fincantieri’s Sestri Ponente yard in Genoa.

Agents will join media and VIPs at several exclusive events on Scarlet Lady before the vessel sails to Miami. The news was part of an announcement made by former Spice Girl Geri Horner at a press conference in central London.

It comes as Virgin Voyages also revealed it was expanding its partnership with music producer and DJ Mark Ronson. The British artist has joined the Virgin Voyages’ Creative Collective – a group of artists and designers which has collaborated with the line. Ronson will create a series of pre-voyage and onboard playlists for passengers, as well as curating the vinyl record selection in the ship’s RockStar Suites and the onboard music shop called Voyage Vinyl.

Ronson is also scheduled to play four times at The Beach Club, Virgin Voyages’ private beach in the Bahamas, on July 9, 2020 alongside DJ and record producer Diplo.

“Sir Richard Branson and the Virgin brand were legendary game-changers in the music industry and it’s a thrill to join them as they bring that same spirit to sea travel,” Ronson was quoted as saying.
