    So Where’s Resilient Lady go after arriving in Portsmouth England on Sep 23 2024. Next sailing is 6 Dec 2024 out of San Juan. Big Gap. For those of us who were booked on the repositioning cruise from Greece to Australia min 14 nights. Offered to transfer on to sailings of same or less durations. Bit limited for choice unless willing too swap a 16 nights cruise for a 7 night cruise with no compensation. I had 3 weeks book from work for our sailing Dubai to Singapore for my 60th Birthday. Would like to see the options during the same period of time, but no Sailings announced between 23 Sep & 6 Dec.
    How can we make a decision when we don’t have the the details what Resilient will be doing during this period.

    1. VV Insider says:

      September 29th UK to Morocco and October 11th Barcelona to Athens are still going ahead. All we know past this are the details in the article, the two ports mentioned and that they’re still working out the details.

      We would presume a short stint in Miami to make a big deal of Resilient coming to the US.

  2. SimonM says:

    Would love to see the itinerary for the end 2025, to see if VV really do intend to return her to Australia (for the following summer). We should know soon?

    1. VV Insider says:

      I think we’d either be waiting for the Red Sea situation to be resolved or Brilliant Lady to launch for that to happen !

  3. Mrs JANETTE MOBBS says:

    What are the prices??

    1. VV Insider says:

      “Explore Virgin Voyage’s brand-new Caribbean destinations — including Colombia, St. Vincent, and St. Maarten — sailing for as low as $149 per Sailor per night, and experience their latest (and award-winning!) ship, Resilient Lady, with the ease of a direct flight. Don’t wait; be among the first 1,000 Sailors to book one of her incredible new itineraries, and we’ll give you $100 onboard credit! Let’s make those travel dreams a reality!” – this is from Virgin Voyages themselves, the actual pricing will be out tomorrow

  4. Hank says:

    Thanks, any updates on the where-abouts of the Scarlet Lady after September of this year? Thanks

    1. VV Insider says:

      Hi Hank, Scarlet’s full itinerary is already out till September 2025. You can view it here 🙂

      1. Hank says:

        Thanks, must have overlooked that. And for the Resilient Lady from October 20th to her appearance in San Juan? Maybe one big repositioning cruise?

        1. VV Insider says:

          I’d expect it to be split up, personally I’d say Athens to Barcelona and then Barcelona across

          1. Barry says:

            When do you think we will find out what the route is from Athens to the Caribbean?

          2. VV Insider says:

            All we know are the details in the article, the two ports mentioned and that they’re still working out the details.

          3. Mark Thorne says:

            When will details of the possible Barcelona to San Juan be available to look at please

          4. VV Insider says:

            All we know are the details in the article, the two ports mentioned and that they’re still working out the details.

  5. JohnB says:

    Nice to see some longer than a week itineraries. I won’t travel to San Juan for cruises that are less than a week!
