Virgin Voyages ship Resilient Lady to cruise to Muscat, Oman in summer 2025

Virgin Voyages has revealed a range of new itineraries and inaugural ports for call for 2025, with Muscat in Oman among 21 new destinations on offer.

The cruise line’s vessel Resilient Lady will call in the Omani capital for the first time on her return voyage to Europe at the end of her current Australia deployment.

The cruise line will be sailing to new ports in the Middle East, Iceland, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, the Caribbean and more, with Resilient Lady, Virgin Voyages’ second ship, having already made its inaugural call to Dubai earlier this year.

The new ports of call have been released as part of a new deal being offered by Virgin Voyages, whereby passengers who book between now and January 31st will get 70 percent off the second guest.

This is in addition to up to $600 in a Bar Tab, depending on the voyage length, which can be used for specialty coffees, top-shelf cocktails or the brand’s signature Shake for Champagne.

In the summer of 2025, Scarlet Lady will sail around Europe, operating six- to 15-night voyages. 

After cruising around southern Spain, Morocco, Florence, Rome and Mallorca, the ship will return to Portsmouth and offer a series of voyages that include Reykjavik, Norway, Bordeaux, Ireland, Scotland and Cannes.

Valiant Lady will continue to sail the 4- and 5-night Caribbean itineraries already announced as well as several longer options to the islands of Grand Turk and Grand Cayman.

Resilient Lady, currently based in Australia and New Zealand, will journey back to Athens on a grand repositioning voyage that will call in Bali, Singapore, Phuket, Oman, Dubai and Santorini.

Once back in the home of Olympus, the ship will operate 7-night voyages with new 10- and 11-night itineraries that call on Istanbul, Mykonos, Dubrovnik and Crete. 

“Virgin Voyages has managed to develop an incredible, award-winning reputation in just a short period of time, and it goes to show that people are craving a unique holiday with more included,” said Nirmal Saverimutu, CEO, Virgin Voyages. 

“Wave season is here and the best time for travelers to book a voyage with us, whether wanting a Caribbean winter escape, a Mediterranean summer adventure, or going further aboard our epic voyages to Bali, Morocco, or Iceland,” Saverimutu added. 

“From the world’s best ships and best food at sea to phenomenal value with all that we include in an elevated (and kid-free environment), there’s truly nothing like a Virgin Voyages experience.”
