All four of Virgin Voyages’ sister ships — Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady — will unite in the Caribbean for the very first time, marking a defining moment for the brand as it continues to welcome more Sailors to experience its unique, adult-only take on travel at sea.

The news was shared in a Virgin Voyages press release following Brilliant Lady’s launch event in Miami, which welcomed more than 2,000 guests including Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson. The newest ship in the fleet will spend the coming months sailing from Miami before transiting the Panama Canal to Los Angeles and later debuting in Alaska for summer 2026.

Speculative Date And Location

Itinerary data we’ve analyzed points to mid-February 2026 as a potential timeframe for the first-ever Virgin Voyages four-ship meeting. While no date has been confirmed, all four Lady Ships are scheduled to be in the Caribbean between February 13 and 21.

These overlapping schedules suggest the event could take place at sea within the wider Caribbean basin, most likely near the Bahamas or Florida Straits. With each ship mid-voyage on Valentine’s week, what better way to celebrate than with a symbolic “ship kiss” — four Lady Ships meeting side by side for the first time. Find out more about the Valentine’s sailings here.

As ever this is pure speculation and we will await the final confirmation from Virgin Voyages in the future.

Not The First Meeting, But The First As Four

Virgin Voyages’ ships have met before, including moments when Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady crossed paths in the Caribbean and later in the Mediterranean with Scarlet Lady and Resilient Lady. This upcoming alignment, however, would be the first time all four Lady Ships sail together, representing the completion of Virgin Voyages’ initial fleet rollout and its growing footprint in the Caribbean.

Overview

While the exact details remain speculative, itinerary data points toward February 18 2026 as the most likely opportunity for Virgin Voyages to bring together all four ships at sea — a defining and fittingly romantic moment for the brand’s next chapter.

    They should position all ships in a square and get done shots. Or 2 V’s, for Virgin Voyages!!!

  2. Barbara says:

    It makes sense that it occurs during some overlap on the 4 Valentine’s Day cruises for marketing purposes but without looking at the iteneraries of each to see where they may cross, I am crossing my fingers it happens on Feb 20 while I start my Brilliant Lady cruise.

  3. Tim says:

    It should be named: “Ladies of the Caribbean”. If they steal my slogan name they owe me a Mega Rockstar Cruise, wohoo!!!!

  4. Ingrid says:

    I would love to be there!!! Keeping my eyes open.

  5. Derryl Baumer says:

    If this is actually a thing, I say morning hours of February 15th!!! All four lady ships will be within 200 miles of each other on that date. Location would have to be somewhere northeast of Dom. Republic and northwest of Puerto Rico! Check it folks!

  6. CGM says:

    You should include links to these 4 sailings in this article in the Speculative Date and Location section.
    I know I looked at them.
    What an amazing opportunity to be a part of! And you know I would book with you if I had any more holiday days left in 2026.

      There’s a link to the Valentine’s details 🙂

  7. David says:

    Scarlet Lady is in port in Miami on 18th February 2026? Valiant is on a sea day between Curaçao and St Maarten which is around 1200 miles away and so surely the chances of them being remotely close to each other on 18th February is zero?

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Hmm yes you’re right, tricky to get the exact date, Valentine’s voyages however do makes sense and they may move some things around potentially. Removed the Feb 18 date.

  8. Caroline says:

    Nope, they’ll all have the same basic boring Caribbean name now 🤦‍♀️

  9. Robin Eissler says:

    We were on the Valiant Lady when it met Scarlet AND on the Scarlet Lady when it met Resilient. Might have to book for these dates. We were actually on the bridge tour on the first one and the crew went crazy! So fun!

    Likely to be named “Ships Meet Cruises”
