Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady operations and partnerships

Overview

The Virgin Voyages vessel Valiant Lady is marking five years of service since its 2021 delivery. Following a scheduled dry dock in May 2026, the ship is set to introduce Ariya, a new 220-seat Indian dining concept developed in partnership with Chef Maneet Chauhan and Indie Culinaire.

Simultaneously, the cruise line is concluding a five-year partnership with Portsmouth International Port in the United Kingdom. After serving as a base for the brand’s UK debuts and hosting approximately 15,000 passengers during recent transition seasons, the Valiant Lady departed Portsmouth for Amsterdam, marking the end of the city's role as a primary UK hub for the company.
