Virgin Voyages, the new cruise line that is part of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, has taken delivery of its second ship, Valiant Lady, while the third ship that will be called Resilient Lady was launched and named on the same day.

The 110,000 gross ton ships, including a yet unnamed fourth unit of the class, are built by Fincantieri at its Sestri Ponente shipyard in Genoa. They are 278 meters long and 38 wide and they all feature over 1,400 guest cabins designed to host about  2,770 passengers.

Scarlet Lady, the first ship of the class, was delivered in 2020, but is only due to sail on its maiden voyage this summer. The ship will make a number of short cruises from the UK before heading to be based in Florida.
