New European Valiant Lady Sailings Announced, Dry Dock Set for 2026

Virgin Voyages has quietly added three new European sailings for Valiant Lady, filling gaps in the schedule that were missing after the last announcement. These itineraries will take Valiant Lady across the Mediterranean, starting from Rome. From these dates we can effectively confirm the dry dock time frame.

Dry Dock Dates All But Confirmed

As Valiant Lady returns to Europe for the first time since 2023, it has been widely expected that she will undergo a dry dock due every five or so years. The Fincantieri shipyard in Palermo, which helped build all of Virgin Voyages’ ships, hosted Scarlet Lady’s dry dock in November 2024. Now, Valiant Lady appears to be next in line, with dry dock anticipated from May 10–24, 2026 following the Transatlantic crossing.

There is speculation that this may bring updates similar to those seen on Scarlet Lady, including the rollout of new dining concepts like Lucky Lotus at Razzle Dazzle, additional VIP Cabanas, more Seriously Suites on Deck 11, and possibly other enhancements.

All of these newly announced sailings qualify for the latest Wave Offer, which includes a $100 Bar Tab (6 nights) or $200 Bar Tab (7 nights) for Sea Terrace and Rockstar Meta category bookings (excluding Lock-It-In rates). Check out the itinerary pages for more details and to book your spot.
