Valiant Lady emerges from dry dock with refreshed venues

Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady received a series of upgrades during its May 2026 dry dock, including revised layouts and new programming across several onboard venues.

The Roundabout was refreshed with plum-toned colors and rearranged furniture. Its new layout includes seating clusters, quieter nooks and laptop-friendly tables designed to serve groups and solo travelers. At On The Rocks, removal of a partition wall improved views toward the bandstand while creating room for additional seating.

The Grounds Club, the line’s Chicago-inspired cafe, now transitions into a full-service cocktail bar each afternoon. Razzle Dazzle continues to offer breakfast and brunch, while its evening space is taken over by Ariya, which Virgin Voyages describes as its first restaurant dedicated to Indian cuisine.

Entertainment changes include new Red Room programming. The theater’s additions include the game show Sink ‘Oar’ Swim and an interactive unboxing contest titled Nice Box!

The Manor nightclub also underwent structural changes. Virgin Voyages removed its raised seating area and rear wall, producing a single-level venue with a larger dance floor, clearer sight lines and increased guest capacity.
