Virgin Voyages launches southern Caribbean itineraries for winter 2027-28

Virgin Voyages has put southern Caribbean sailings on sale for winter 2027-28.

Scarlet Lady will operate 23 cruises across 12 itineraries from San Juan, Puerto Rico between October 2027 and April 2028,

The cruises range from six to 12 nights in duration with ports of call in Aruba, Curacao, Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua, St Maarten, Dominica and Tortola.

A series of ’Southern Caribbean & Aruban Nights’ voyages will have late stays in Aruba.

A highlighted voyage is the first transatlantic crossing by the 2,770-passenger vessel, which will depart from Barcelona on October 31, 2027 on a repositioning sailing to San Juan, with maiden calls to Lanzarote, Canary Islands and a full day in Tangier, Morocco.  

Lead-in fares start at £1,697 per cabin for a six-night southern Caribbean cruise departing on January 2, 2028.

The adult-only line will also include monthly net rates for its 10-night Caribbean sailings from March.

UK director of sales SJ Walker said introducing fixed net rates for voyages on a monthly basis had helped “drive success last year” and she was “excited” to expand this more widely.

She said: “On the basis of the success of Europe last year and our ambition for Caribbean this year, we will be rolling this out across all eight 10-night voyages from Miami for winter 2027-28.”

She said this would give “more pricing certainty”, “enable packaging” and promotion planning to help agents to get “stronger conversions”.
