Speaking at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa on Friday (July 20), Virgin Group founder Richard Branson announced the line’s first ship, which is due to launch in 2020, would be named Scarlet Lady, in homage to sister company Virgin Atlantic.

The name first appeared on one of the earliest aircraft to fly for Virgin Atlantic.
