The Chart Table & Shore Things Hub

The Chart Table is one of Virgin Voyages’ primary guest assistance spaces, focused on Shore Things, activity bookings, and voyage information. While the original Chart Table remains on some ships, others now feature dedicated Shore Things Hubs that perform the same function.

On Scarlet Lady, the space takes the form of the iconic red Chart Table located within The Roundabout. Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady feature dedicated Shore Things Hubs and additional seating areas, while Resilient Lady incorporates Shore Things support within The Roundabout itself.

Shore Things and Guest Assistance

Whether you’re looking to book a shore excursion, ask questions about an existing reservation, or get more information about activities in port, this is the place to visit.

During embarkation, many sailors stop by to arrange Shore Things, onboard activities, or spa appointments. Throughout the voyage, the team can also assist with excursion enquiries, meeting point information, and last-minute availability.

On port days, the area often becomes a gathering point for excursion groups before departing the ship.

Different Across the Fleet

The original Chart Table can still be found on Scarlet Lady, where it sits prominently at the top of The Roundabout opposite the octopus sculpture. Alongside the space is a detailed scale model of the ship displayed beneath glass.

Valiant Lady and Brilliant Lady moved away from the original red table design during construction, replacing it with dedicated Shore Things service hubs and additional seating. These updated spaces continue to provide the same services while creating a more flexible guest area.

Resilient Lady takes a slightly different approach, integrating Shore Things support into The Roundabout rather than centering it around a dedicated table.

Pop-Up Events

Beyond its guest services role, the Chart Table and surrounding Roundabout area occasionally host small events and activities throughout the voyage.

Glam Station Motivation

One recurring event is Glam Station Motivation, where sailors can add glitter and gems before heading to the evening’s parties and events. The experience is typically hosted by members of the Happenings Cast.

Scarlet Night

During Scarlet Night, the area sometimes becomes home to the voyage’s “Missed Connections” display, allowing sailors to anonymously leave messages and notes as part of the evening’s traditions.
