Virgin cruise ship Valiant (238m.) walks in and out of the port of IJmuiden

The cruise ship Valiant Lady enters the port of IJmuiden for a one-off departure from the Monnickendam quay. A first, as it is the first time that a Virgin Voyages ship calls at the Netherlands.

The second newly-built ship of flamboyant businessman Richard Branson after the Scarlet Lady will depart from Felison Cruise Terminal on 24 April for a six-day cruise to Portsmouth, England. The only destination on the itinerary is Zeebrugge including overnight stay. Prices start from 1,092 USD for an inside cabin for two persons.

6-day cruise

The brand new Vailant Lady, which has just completed its maiden voyage, was originally scheduled to sail to the Canary Islands in late April. However, these plans were cancelled due to a lucrative charter. The affected passengers who had already booked will receive a 150% future travel credit and the chance to sail the 6-day cruise from IJmuiden for free when they rebook.

17 decks
The Valiant Lady (278 metres long and 38 metres wide) can accommodate 2,800 guests and 1,150 crew members. The passenger ship has 17 decks, 13 of which can be used by guests. A few years ago, Virgin ordered three cruise ships of the size of the Valiant Lady worth over 2 billion USD. The third ship has yet to be built.
