Virgin Voyages chief executive Tom McAlpin said: "We are thrilled to unveil the name of our second ship – Valiant Lady – and to deliver on our commitment to offer travellers a sea change in how they can experience cruising in this fantastic part of the world.

"Our sailors will fall in love with the places we go and the moments and memories they will be able to create on our gorgeous ship."

Bookings for Valiant Lady will open from 19 December 2019.

Virgin Voyages has partnered with cruise port operator Global Ports Holding to prepare for Valiant Lady’s arrival in Barcelona in 2021.

Valiant Lady will continue Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Squad program aimed at recruiting, supporting and mentoring female talent.

All its ships, including the inaugural vessel Scarlet Lady, have been designed by the brains behind boutique hotel brands including  Design Research Studio, Roman and Williams and Concrete Amsterdam.
