Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Bahamas 2026: Complete Miami to Bimini Itinerary Guide
There’s a ship sailing out of Miami that redefined what an adults-only cruise feels like. The Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady has been turning heads since her inaugural season, and in 2026 she’s doubling down on the Bahamas routes that made her famous — three- and four-night sailings that pack more punch per sailing day than most week-long Caribbean itineraries on legacy cruise lines.
The Ship: What Makes Scarlet Lady Different
The Scarlet Lady is a 92,000-ton, 2,770-passenger vessel purpose-built for the adult cruise market. “Adults-only” is enforced — the minimum passenger age is 18 years old, no exceptions. What that means on deck: zero shrieking around the pool, a crowd that’s there to decompress, and a vibe closer to a boutique hotel on water than a floating theme park.
She sails year-round from Miami’s PortMiami. The ship has four primary restaurants included in your fare, a tattoo parlor, a run club, yoga classes, and a signature pool deck that transforms into Scarlet Night once per sailing.
