The first Lady Ship of our Virgin Voyages fleet is almost here, and she is shaping up to be quite a beauty. If the leading lady image on the livery seems recognizable, it might be because she has made appearances on Virgin entities before. Designed by artist Toby Tinsley, her likeness appears on Virgin Atlantic and Australia aircrafts as well as the Virgin Galactic spaceline.

Now, she is emerging again, but this time she reappears as a mystical Mermaid - the soul and spirit behind the first Virgin Voyages ship. Her name, and therefore the name of our first vessel, was carefully deliberated and finally chosen to be…

Scarlet Lady. There...we said it. The mermaid is out of the bag! Scarlet is the embodiment of everything this ship represents. As our figurehead, she takes on a role historically dedicated to goddesses, important women in society, and even mermaid figures.

Though beautiful and mysterious in vision, she represents a woman of power - the leader not only on our first voyage, but also in our efforts to encourage front-facing female leaders throughout our company with our Virgin Voyages Scarlet Squad Program.
