Virgin Voyages’ refreshed menus at The Wake and The Dock are now rolling out, and we can finally see how the choices differ between ships. VV Insider has now discovered the updated menu PDFs for The Wake on all four Lady Ships, covering both brunch and dinner.

We also have The Dock menus for Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady. The only menu we are still awaiting is the updated Dock and Dock House menu for Scarlet Lady, which debuts August 31, 2026.

Importantly, these are permanent restaurant menu changes. They are not temporary menus for the 2026 Eat & Drink Festival.

    Is the OPA hour menu at the Dock still the same?

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Yes it’s the same 🙂

  2. Stephanie Clarke says:

    The leek and potato soup on Brilliant lady this week was on a par with the clam chowder. Delicious!!

    1. Jen says:

      I love leek & potato soup. Unfortunately, the app is currently showing that they are serving the chilled corn soup on Brilliant Lady 🙁

  3. Jon says:

    Also to note the steak and peppercorn sauce has gone from the lunch menu, replace with striped bass

    1. Stephanie Clarke says:

      Striped bass was lovely on Brilliant Lady this week

  4. Kurt says:

    If they take the octopus off Scarlett Lady’s The Dock menu, I’m canceling my May ’27 booking!

  5. Ann Mackay says:

    Not the clam chowder! Nooooooooo

    1. NanMo says:

      I meant clam chowder. The clam chowder is still on the dinner menu, just not on the brunch menu.

      Which sounds good since there was too much overlap between the brunch and dinner menus.

      1. Rob Sammons says:

        Indeed Clam Chowder is just gone from brunch 🙂

    2. Michelle Cardno says:

      ×I feel the same!

  6. Tara Ingram says:

    Many folks upset about the clam chowder…the presentation was great but I had it on 3 sailings and it was never hot. I did like the octopus so I’m sorry to see that go but people claiming they may cancel their reservations over this are overreacting a bit.

    The best soup on that whole ship was the wonton at Razzle Dazzle brunch and I will die on that hill.

  7. Mandy says:

    Can you clarify if the clam chowder will still be available for dinner? Or is gone from both morning and night menus?

    Really sad they removed the polenta. I got it on every sailing after I had it for the first time. Would have loved a smaller version as an appetizer, even. Thank goodness the bone marrow is still on the list!

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      This is the high level overview, our understanding is for brunch on all ships it is gone but still there for dinner, if you want the break down by ship there’s the PDF menus above https://vvinsider.com/on-board/venue/the-wake/

    2. Betdy says:

      The clam chowder is still on the dinner menu on Valiant Lady.

  8. L.W. says:

    I am disgusted they removed the clam chowder!! Wth are they thinking?! Very sad and dumb indeed!!

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      Just at brunch, full menus in the link above: https://vvinsider.com/on-board/venue/the-wake/

    2. Michelle Cardno says:

      Gutted clam chowder for breakfast every day is no more. 8 sailings 2 more booked and its certainly a big negative moving forward

    3. Michelle Cardno says:

      My favourite meal on the ships. 8 sailings and I must have had it 5 times per sailing! 2 more booked. I may reconsider future ones!

  9. Barbara M says:

    On Valiant Lady now… the additions of the tuna and pork at the dock are excellent. The Tuna is done med rare. The pork I thought was great, my husband felt it was a little dry.
    We are ate a the Wake for dinner and tried the “new” twice baked. We both felt it to be better than the last version. Instead of cubes this was the whole half potato cut in thirds.

  10. Nitzy says:

    The clam chowder I cannot possibly not be a crowd favorite. That chilled corn better slap! We love a refresh, but I hope these were well tested before the revamping. Some of the goners were my favorites.

    1. Dawn says:

      I agree, the clam chowder was one of the best dishes on the ship. After many sailings, we would still eat this several time per week!!!!

      1. Rick says:

        Same here. Every morning @brunch and twice for Dinner. Very sad

    2. Rob Sammons says:

      Just at brunch, full menus in the link above: https://vvinsider.com/on-board/venue/the-wake/

  11. Jennifer G says:

    Very disappointed in the changes for brunch (and the Wake) on Valiant Lady. The Dock isn’t quite as disappointing, but now I wish I’d selected a different sailing. On the positive side should I decide not to cancel my reservations my expectations are so low they will surely surpass them.
