Virgin Voyages has been forced to change Scarlet Lady’s upcoming Caribbean itinerary due to a delay with the vessel’s routine engine maintenance checks.

Scarlet Lady has been operating a ‘Summer Soiree’ series of sailings from Portsmouth this month

Due to the process "taking a bit longer than originally anticipated", the line said, the vessel’s upcoming voyage on Friday (18 August) will be affected.

As a result, the line has replaced the ship’s planned stop in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic with a call in Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos.

"We know it may be disappointing to our sailors [guests] who had their hearts set on a Dominican Daze itinerary, but confident that our selection of new Shore Things in the stunning destination of Turks & Caicos will be just as memorable," a spokesperson said.
