Scarlet Lady’s 2027 Mediterranean Takeover: An Insider’s Guide

Listen up, Sailors, because the news we’ve all been waiting for has officially dropped. If you’ve been dreaming of a European summer that’s less about crowded tour buses and more about chic, adults-only exploration, Virgin Voyages just unveiled their master plan for 2027, and it is an absolute game-changer.

Get ready to say “Yasou!” to your new homeport, because the OG rebel of the seas, Scarlet Lady, is heading to the Eastern Mediterranean for the entire Summer 2027 season! This is huge. We’re talking a brand-new lineup of 7 to 11-night voyages sailing from the historic heart of Athens, designed to take you deeper into the magic of the Greek Isles, the stunning Adriatic coast, and even to a brand-new, off-the-beaten-path destination: the emerging gem of Albania.

As your dedicated Virgin Voyages Gold Tier First Mates, we’ve got the inside scoop on these incredible new itineraries. But here’s the most important thing you need to know: these voyages will sell out. The time to plan your 2027 escape is now.

Meet (or Re-Meet) the Star of the Show: Scarlet Lady

Before we dive into the destinations, let’s talk about your chariot. Scarlet Lady isn’t just any ship; she’s the trailblazer, the one that started it all. She’s the ship with the first-ever tattoo parlor at sea, Squid Ink, and the one that introduced the world to Virgin’s “Rebellious Luxe” philosophy.

While all four Lady Ships share the same brilliant DNA—the 20+ included eateries, the incredible service, the adults-only vibe—Virgin is beginning to give each a unique personality, especially when it comes to dining. Scarlet Lady is leading this charge with her exclusive dinner concept: Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle. By night, the famously veggie-forward Razzle Dazzle space transforms into an intimate, Chinese-inspired eatery. Here you can indulge in incredible dishes like Peking Duck Bao Buns, crispy Walnut Shrimp, and the show-stopping Blossoming Sweet and Sour Fish.

This is a trend across the fleet, with the upcoming Brilliant Lady set to debut Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, a Spanish-inspired tapas restaurant. This evolution means that sailing on Scarlet Lady in the Med will be a distinct culinary experience you can’t get on her sister ships, making her 2027 season even more special.

Itinerary Spotlight: Adriatic, Albania & Mykonos Magic

To give you a taste of what’s in store, let’s break down one of the most exciting new itineraries in the lineup. This is the perfect blend of iconic destinations and undiscovered treasures.
