The Chart Table, formerly known as The Chart Room, is one of Virgin Voyages’ central guest service spaces. Found on Scarlet & Resilient Lady as a large red table at the top of The Roundabout, it acts as a hub for Shore Things, guest assistance and occasional pop-up events throughout the voyage.

Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady feature dedicated Shore Things hubs and surrounding seating areas in place of the large red table, while Resilient Lady incorporates Shore Things support within The Roundabout.

Shore Things and Guest Services

On Scarlet & Resilient Lady, The Chart Table sits prominently at the top of The Roundabout opposite the octopus statue, making it difficult to miss. Alongside the space sits a detailed scale model of the ship, protected beneath glass and offering sailors a closer look at the vessel’s layout and design.

The space plays an important role during embarkation and throughout the voyage. During the first hours on board, sailors can visit to arrange Shore Things, activities and spa appointments. On port days it often becomes a meeting point for excursion groups, while on sea days the team can assist with questions and new bookings.

Ship Specific Hubs

On Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady, Virgin Voyages has moved away from the original red table design, replacing it with dedicated Shore Things service hubs and additional seating areas. These updated spaces continue to provide excursion assistance while creating a more flexible guest area within The Roundabout.

Resilient Lady takes a slightly different approach, with Shore Things support integrated into The Roundabout itself rather than centered around a dedicated Chart Table.

Pop-Up Events

Beyond its guest services role, The Chart Table and surrounding Roundabout space also host occasional pop-up experiences during the voyage.

Glam Station Motivation

One recurring event is Glam Station Motivation, where sailors can add glitter and jewels before heading out for the evening’s parties. The event is typically hosted by Virgin Voyages’ Happenings Cast.

Scarlet Night

During Scarlet Night, the area can take on a different role. Sailors are sometimes invited to contribute anonymous “missed connections” messages to the communal sailor net, becoming part of the evening’s shared atmosphere and traditions.

Overview

Whether in its original Chart Table form on Scarlet Lady or as dedicated Shore Things hubs on newer ships, the space remains an important part of Virgin Voyages’ guest experience, combining excursion support, information and occasional onboard events in one central location.
