How Much Did Virgin Cruise Ship Cost?

By Michael Ferguson

In February 2020, the Virgin Voyages cruise line announced their newest ship, the Scarlet Lady. The Scarlet Lady was the first of three ships that were set to be released over the following years. All three ships are intended to be luxurious experiences with a focus on sustainability.

The Virgin Voyages cruise ship cost an estimated $2.2 billion to build and outfit. This is significantly higher than the average cost of a cruise ship which is around $500 million. The Scarlet Lady is one of the most expensive passenger vessels ever constructed and even more expensive than some military ships such as Navy aircraft carriers.

The reason for this high cost is primarily due to the luxurious amenities and technological advances found on board the ship. Over 2,700 cabins are spread across 19 decks featuring modern designs, unique works of art, and interactive technology experiences. The vessel also exceeded all safety standards set by international maritime authorities and contains cutting-edge navigation systems as well as an eco-friendly propulsion system.

The Virgin Voyages Cruise Ship also features a variety of activities, entertainment, dining options and bars over five distinct neighborhoods on board each ship, giving passengers plenty of opportunities to explore during their voyage. Various entertainment options include sports courts, multiple pools with slides, spa treatments and much more.
