Virgin Voyages unveils brand new second cruise ship for 2021 Mediterranean cruises

As part of this, every sailing features a Friday overnight stay in Ibiza.

Virgin Voyages also revealed that the name ‘Valiant Lady’ was inspired by the latin word valere and from the French origin, vaillant, meaning “bold”, “strong”, and “courageous.”

Historically, the image of women graced the bows of ships to bring protection to a vessel, however, Virgin aims for Valiant Lady to embody the idea that women design, captain, lead and champion change in the maritime industry.

Valiant Lady will continue Virgin Voyages’ ‘Scarlet Squad’ program aimed at recruiting, supporting and mentoring female shipboard talent, and growing opportunities to access leadership roles in onboard areas such as marine, technical and hotel management that statistically show low numbers of female leadership.
