About your trip

                                                                                            Scarlet Lady 

                                               Sat, Dec 26, 2026, 5:00 PM to Wed, Dec 30, 2026, 6:30 AM 

                                                                               Miami to Nassau + Bimini Bahamas 

The holidays were for the kids — this part is for you. After the gifts, the gatherings, and the nonstop December rush, this is your chance to step away for a moment and breathe before the new year begins.

From December 26–30, join us for a quick, adults‑only getaway aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady. It’s the perfect “test the waters” cruise if you’ve been curious about sailing but don’t want a long commitment — just four days of sunshine, great food, good energy, and zero responsibilities.

We’re heading to Nassau and Bimini, Bahamas — two distinct experiences in one short sailing. In Nassau, enjoy colorful island culture, local shops, and vibrant waterfront energy. Then unwind in Bimini, a small island just 50 miles off the coast of Miami and home to Virgin Voyages’ exclusive Bimini Beach Club. Expect turquoise water, soft sand, curated music, and the freedom to relax your way — whether that’s lounging by the pool, exploring the islands, or simply letting someone else take care of everything for a change.

Think of it as your reset button. A little break before the new year. A moment to recharge so you can step into January feeling lighter, clearer, and ready.

Prefer to book directly with Virgin Voyages? No problem — just use this link when you book so you’re automatically added to my circle and still receive the same support and guidance from me as your travel advisor.

Group Excursions and Themed Attire

Get your "Red" ready for Scarlet Night!

What begins with mellow drinks at The Dock for some might result in a sunset soiree, pool floatie parade so dense, a Sailor has no choice but to dance their way through. All while the DJ mixes an open format blend of recognizable crowd pleasers, yet never before heard quite this way. As the night ramps up, a crescendo emerges on the pool deck before things disperse into a select number of venues, with options for any Sailor. 


Beach Day at Bimini

In traditional ANSE fashion, you know we love a good theme! Get your Shades of PINK and/or Black bathing suits and swim trunks ready. Polka dots, florals, stripes...it doesn't matter....as long as it's in theme.


Difference Between Cruise Categories

Decked out with gorgeously-designed furnishings and lighting to match your mood (and the incoming sunset), our spacious cabins and suites are a stunning escape for peak relaxation and endless sunset views. If there is a cabin that you are interested in that is not showing, please let us know and we will check availability.


**Lock It In Rates** -  These are discounted rates offered closer to sail dates to fill remaining inventory. Think of them as a “mystery cabin” deal with some trade-offs:

 

Pros:

  • Lower price — often 20–30% less than regular rates2
  • Guaranteed cabin category — you’ll get at least the category you booked (e.g., Sea Terrace), possibly upgraded
  • Great for budget-conscious travelers who don’t mind surprises

Cons:

  • No cabin selection — Virgin assigns your cabin, and you won’t know the number until close to sailing (sometimes even embarkation day)
  • No changes or refunds — once booked, it’s locked in. No date changes, no future voyage credit, no cancellations2
  • Limited perks — often excluded from promos like “Pay in Full” discounts or MNVV placeholders
  • Risk of undesirable location — obstructed views, noisy areas, or missing features like the signature hammock
     

🛏️ Regular Rates

These are standard bookings with full flexibility and control.

Pros:

  • Choose your cabin — deck, location, view, and features
  • Flexible policies — date changes, cancellations, and future voyage credits apply
  • Eligible for promotions — including MNVV, upgrade bidding, and bundled perks
  • Peace of mind — ideal for planners and milestone travelers

Cons:

  • Higher cost — you’re paying for control and flexibility

Deposits and Payments

We have secured a low deposit for your group. Your initial deposit is due at the time of booking, and your future payments will be charged according to the schedule you see on your invoice.  When booking your selected cabin, your roommate must submit their deposit and information within 24 hours of yours or booking will not be confirmed (due to these staterooms having to be fully deposited at the time of booking).


 Note:  All pricing is based on double occupancy.  Single occupancy rates are available for an additional cost. If you need triple or quad occupancy rooms, please send us a message for pricing. Taxes, fuel surcharges, port charges and all fees are subject to change.  We also offer roommate matching at no additional cost for those that would rather not travel alone but just can’t find anyone to accompany them. However, it up to the travelers to connect and stay on top of their accounts. 


Your payment is due by the 5th of each month. If you would like to set your payments to bi-weekly, please contact us to adjust your plan. It is your responsibility to make the payments on time. Any payments received (5) or more days late will incur a $25 late fee per person or be subject to cancellation. Final payments due August 2026. 


Bank account payments are FREE, however, participants paying with card will incur any processing fees at checkout. 

 

Costs includes all meals, entertainment on board ship provided by Virgin Voyages cruise line, all taxes, fuel, port charges, fees, and ANSE Host Gift (prices are subject to change – book early).  Bar Tabs are additional. 


📌 Before you book, take a moment to review the ANSE Terms & Conditions and FAQs—your future self (and your travel advisor) will thank you.  If you have any questions, please let us know. 

Travel Documentation (U.S. Citizens)

 Virgin Voyages requires Sailors to have a valid passport with an expiration date at least 6 months after the voyage end date. Additionally, depending on your country of citizenship, certain ports may also require a visa for entry.

However, we understand that spontaneous getaways sometimes occur without sufficient time for passport arrangements. If you fall into this category and you are sailing out of Miami, on an eligible closed-loop voyage, and are a United States citizen, we can make an exception to the passport requirement. In such cases, you will need to present one of the following documents:

  • Original valid US Passport

  • Original valid US Passport Card

  • Original valid Trusted Traveler Card (NEXUS, FAST)

Or one of the below combinations of documents:

  • Original or copy of your state-issued birth certificate AND a physical Government-issued photo ID

    • Puerto Rico birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010 are not acceptable

    • Hospital-issued birth certificates are not acceptable

  • Original Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the Department of State AND a physical Government-issued photo ID

  • Original Certificate of Naturalization issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services AND a physical Government-issued photo ID

In the unlikely event of a medical emergency or unexpected departure from the vessel, a passport will be necessary. Please keep in mind, the above guidelines are based on government regulations, which are subject to change at any time. 

Virgin Voyages Insurance & Refund Policy

With Virgin Voyages Protection:


Protect your investment in the event of unexpected incidents. Protection can be added up until the final payment. 


Price Range:  $104 - 184 p/p based on occupancy and stateroom selection.


After the 7-day grace period (but still before the 120-day window), you can receive a full refund on any payments, excluding your deposit. For your deposit, you will receive Future Voyage Credit at this time.
 

Once you’re within 44 days of your voyage, all funds paid are final. But you do have the option to send someone else in your place up to 48 hours before your voyage if you really can't sail. Please note that taxes and fees will be refunded regardless of when the booking is canceled. 

Liquor/Wine Policy (and Non-Alcoholic)

 Alcoholic beverages, hard liquor, spirits, and beer are not permitted to be brought on board. Any alcohol in checked luggage will be collected on embarkation and returned once the voyage is complete. Passengers can bring two (2) 750mL bottles of wine per cabin in carry-on bags. 


One of the best parts about sailing on Virgin Voyages is that basic beverages, like soda and water, are included in your cruise fare. However, if you have particular tastes and need to have a specific non-alcoholic drink, you can bring a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans or cartons of 12-ounce beverages. Bottled drinks– whether in glass or plastic bottles are not permitted.
