Virgin Voyages Adjusts Another Itinerary for Valiant Lady Due to Maintenance

Virgin Voyages has announced another adjustment to its Dominican Daze itinerary, replacing Puerto Plata with Grand Turk for the upcoming Valentine’s Voyage – February 14, 2025, sailing. This marks the third itinerary change for this route in recent weeks.

In a message to affected passengers, Virgin Voyages stated:

“We wanted to let you know that we’ve had to make a port change to your voyage, departing on February 14, 2025. To keep Valiant Lady ship-shape, our Crew needs to perform some extra maintenance that will impact the amount of time we can spend in port. To ensure we provide you with an incredible experience and ample amount of time to explore beautiful destinations, we’re adjusting our itinerary and replacing Puerto Plata with Grand Turk in the beautiful Turks and Caicos.” – Virgin Voyages

Previous & Potential Future Adjustments

This change follows similar adjustments for the January 17th and January 31st sailings, both of which also replaced Puerto Plata with Grand Turk. While no additional changes have been announced, another Dominican Daze sailing is scheduled for February 28, 2025 & March 14, 2025, leaving the possibility of further itinerary tweaks.

Virgin Voyages has not specified the exact nature of the maintenance work, but these repeated adjustments suggest an ongoing need for operational changes. Notably Scarlet Lady still has a number of scheduled stops in Puerto Plata and is visiting the port.

What This Means for Sailors

For those booked on the February 14th sailing, the shift to Grand Turk provides an opportunity to explore a different destination. Known for its turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and laid-back atmosphere, Grand Turk remains a popular Caribbean port.

Virgin Voyages encourages impacted passengers to review the updated itinerary and reach out with any questions or concerns. With multiple adjustments occurring in recent weeks, those on upcoming Dominican Daze sailings may want to keep an eye on their emails in case of further itinerary modifications.
