Crowds amassed along the Hot Walls to wave enthusiastically as they watched her leave in 2021, and it’s expected many will turn out to see her once again.
Portsmouth International Port said; “Virgin Voyages returns to Portsmouth this weekend! On Sunday, its first ship, Scarlet Lady, will return to her UK home and we can't wait to see her again.
“Catch her departing for her first UK summer sailing from 6pm on Sunday night - you won’t miss her leaving the harbour. Scarlet Lady’s homecoming marks four years since the global brand launched from Portsmouth in 2021. Since then, we have welcomed her sisters Valiant and Resilient Lady, along with 72,000 jolly sailors.”
The 912ft long cruise ship houses 1,404 cabins and suites; jam-packed with activities for its passengers to enjoy while they sail to glorious destinations across the world, from the Mediterranean, to the Caribbean, and Canary islands.
Amenities include eateries, nightclubs, live venues, shops, fitness centres, gyms, sports areas, cafes, swimming pool, casino, saunas, jacuzzies all packed into 17 decks; there’s something for everyone. Excitement should lie not only with the cruise liners’ passengers but also the City Council, as each of the famous ship’s calls bring in roughly £1.5m for the port and local economy.
