Ariya by Razzle Dazzle
Ariya by Razzle Dazzle is an Indian restaurant exclusively available on Valiant Lady following the ship’s 2.0 glow up. The restaurant transforms the Razzle Dazzle space each evening, while the venue continues to serve breakfast and brunch as Razzle Dazzle during the day.
Ariya introduces Indian cuisine to the Virgin Voyages fleet, with dishes inspired by regional flavors across India and a bar program featuring spice-inspired cocktails.
Concept and Partnership
Ariya was developed in partnership with Indie Culinaire and celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan. The concept focuses on traditional Indian techniques alongside modern presentation, with dishes inspired by street food, coastal cooking, tandoori dishes, curries, and biryanis from across India.
The restaurant’s name references Ariya, Sir Richard Branson’s great great grandmother, who was originally from the coastal town of Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu.
Ariya continues Virgin Voyages’ evolving Razzle Dazzle concept, where the venue serves breakfast and brunch during the day before transforming into a different dining experience at night.
Dining Experience
During the day the venue operates as Razzle Dazzle, serving breakfast and brunch with several Indian-inspired additions. In the evening the restaurant transforms into Ariya, offering a dinner menu focused on Indian cuisine.
The interior design draws inspiration from India’s spice markets, with warm tones, layered textures, booth seating, shared tables, and smaller dining nooks throughout the venue.
