Scarlet Lady was completed in 2020, but the pandemic delayed her debut; after a UK preview season in summer 2021, her official debut sailed from Miami in October 2021. She measures 110,000 gross tons and carries up to about 2,770 guests, all 18 or older.
Virgin Voyages markets her on Caribbean sailings from Miami and on Mediterranean sailings from Athens and Barcelona, with summer 2027 trips from Athens to the Greek Isles, Turkey and Albania. Dining is spread across a collection of smaller restaurants rather than a main dining room or buffet.
