Virgin Voyages Deck Plans: Every Ship, Deck by Deck (2026)

All four Virgin Voyages ships — Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady, and Brilliant Lady — share the same deck plan because they're identical Lady-class sister ships: 17 decks, 110,000 gross tons, 1,330 cabins plus 78 suites, and a maximum of 2,770 adults (Virgin Voyages is 18+ only). That means once you learn one ship's layout, you know all four. Below is a deck-by-deck breakdown, the five cabin categories explained, and the specific cabins we steer our clients toward (and away from) as travel advisors who book these sailings every week.

We're a family-run travel agency, and "which deck and cabin should I pick?" is the question we answer most about Virgin. Here's the version with the real advice, not just a static deck map.

Virgin Voyages ships at a glance

• Fleet: Scarlet Lady (2021), Valiant Lady (2022), Resilient Lady (2023), Brilliant Lady (2025) — all built by Fincantieri in Italy.
• Size: 110,000 GT, 17 decks, ~278 m long.
• Capacity: 1,330 cabins + 78 suites; up to 2,770 guests, all 18+.
• Design: Cabins and RockStar suites designed by Tom Dixon — modern, minimalist, with the signature red hammock on most balconies.

Because the ships are sisters, the deck plan you study for one applies to the next. Where they differ is where they sail and who they suit — covered on each ship's own page linked below.

Virgin Voyages deck plan: deck by deck

Cabins run roughly from Deck 5 up through the teens, with dining, entertainment, and outdoor decks layered around them. Here are the decks that matter most when you're choosing a room.

Deck 5 — entry-level cabins, spa & two restaurants

Deck 5 holds the most budget-friendly rooms: Insider (no window), Solo Insider (a rare solo cabin with no single supplement), and Sea View cabins with a porthole or picture window. You'll also find the Redemption Spa and two of the included restaurants, Pink Agave (Mexican) and Razzle Dazzle (plant-forward). Great for sailors who only use the cabin to sleep and want easy access to the spa.

Deck 6 — the dining and nightlife row

Deck 6 is where most of the marquee restaurants live: The Wake (steak & seafood), Extra Virgin (Italian), Gunbae (Korean BBQ), and the Test Kitchen, plus The Casino and the entrance to The Manor nightclub. Convenient for foodies, but be aware that cabins near the aft nightclub can catch late-night noise.

Deck 7 — the social heart (no cabins)

Deck 7 is entirely public space: The Red Room theater, The Dock, The Pizza Place, coffee shops, and main lounges. Because there are no cabins here, the deck directly above (Deck 8 cabins) can hear venue noise — worth noting if you're a light sleeper.

Deck 8 — your first balcony deck

Deck 8 is the first deck where you can book a Sea Terrace balcony. It includes standard Sea Terraces, Central Sea Terraces, XL Sea Terraces, and the often-discounted Limited View Sea Terrace — balconies partially blocked by lifeboats. It sits just above the Deck 7 venues, so it can be slightly louder than higher cabin decks.

Decks 9–15 — the cabin sweet spot

These mid-ship cabin decks are where we send most clients. They're sandwiched between other cabin decks (quieter), offer the full range of Sea Terrace and RockStar options, and balance motion and convenience. Mid-ship on Decks 10–12 is the calmest ride for anyone prone to seasickness.

Top decks — pools, gym & the sun

The uppermost decks hold the pools, the Athletic Club gym, the running track, The Perch, and sunbathing areas like The Sun Club. Beautiful to be on — but avoid booking a cabin directly beneath the pool deck or gym, where you can hear deck chairs dragging early in the morning.

The five Virgin Voyages cabin categories

Every Lady ship offers the same five cabin types:

• Insider (~105–177 sq ft): no view, most affordable. Solo Insiders carry no single supplement — a genuine rarity in cruising.
• Sea View (~130–190 sq ft): adds a porthole or picture window and natural light, no balcony.
• Sea Terrace (the main category): balcony cabins with the red hammock. Variations include XL (about 30% more space, larger bathroom), Central (a recessed balcony that's great in wind/rough seas), and Limited View (cheaper, lifeboat-obstructed).
• RockStar Quarters: suites with a real terrace, in-room mini bar, a dedicated RockStar Agent, and access to Richard's Rooftop with its own bar and daily happy hour.
• Mega RockStar Quarters: the top tier — unlimited in-room bar, marble bathrooms with Peek-a-Boo showers, terrace hammocks, plus complimentary parking and transfers.

Best cabins to book (and which to avoid)

• Best value: a standard Sea Terrace on Decks 9–12, mid-ship — quiet, good view, calm motion.
• Best for solos: Solo Insider on Deck 5 — no single supplement.
• Best splurge: any RockStar category for Richard's Rooftop access.
• Choose carefully: Limited View Sea Terraces (lifeboat blockage), Deck 8 cabins under the Deck 7 venues, and cabins directly below the pool/gym.
• Best for rough water: Central Sea Terrace, mid-ship, lower cabin deck.

Are all Virgin Voyages ships the same?
Structurally, yes. The four ships share the same 110,000-ton, 17-deck design with 1,330 cabins and 78 suites. They differ mainly in where they sail and small entertainment tweaks, with Brilliant Lady being the newest.

What is the best deck to stay on with Virgin Voyages?
For most sailors, a mid-ship Sea Terrace cabin on Decks 9 through 12 is the sweet spot — quiet, good views, and the calmest motion. Avoid cabins directly below the pool deck or gym, and Limited View Sea Terraces blocked by lifeboats.

Which deck has the restaurants on Virgin Voyages?
Most main restaurants are on Decks 5 and 6. Deck 5 has Pink Agave and Razzle Dazzle plus the spa; Deck 6 has The Wake, Extra Virgin, Gunbae, the Test Kitchen, and the casino. Deck 7 is the social hub with the theater and casual eateries.

Does Virgin Voyages have connecting cabins for families?
Virgin Voyages is an adults-only (18+) line, so it offers fewer connecting cabins than family lines. Connecting options exist in limited numbers; if you need them, book early and ask your advisor to confirm specific cabin numbers.
