After dropping hints for days Virgin Voyages’ has finally announced the name of their fourth cruise ship – Resilient Lady.

This comes after Resilient Lady spends the summer of 2023 sailing around Greece. When it finishes that it will start the 44-day journey to Australia, going via Dubai, Singapore and Bali.

Once in Australia and based out of Melbourne, Resilient Lady will offer customers the chance to book trips ranging from two to 14 nights. The experience is ‘superyacht style’ and includes Michelin standard delights at six signature restaurants and festival style entertainment.

“From Australia’s luminous shores and New Zealand’s top cityscapes to the captivating coasts of Tasmania, we’re sailing across the Tasman Sea with 12 brand new itineraries,” Virgin Voyages wrote on Instagram.

Guests also will be able to enjoy a ‘Shake for Champagne’ service, where you shake your phone, hear a cork pop thanks to an app, click on the ‘push me’ button, and then sit back as an ice-cold bottle of Moet Chandon Imperial Champagne is delivered to you.

There are also HIIT classes on board as well as a boxing ring, hydrotherapy, life-sized chess and restorative raves in thermal suites, to name just a few perks. There’s also a DJ, a vinyl record store, and a tattoo parlour onboard.
