Scarlet Night Awaits on Virgin Voyages

One of the culminating parties of the Virgin Voyages experience, Scarlet Night is a full ship activation that is amorphous at its core, meant to be unique for each Sailor. “We definitely wanted to introduce spaces Sailors may have seen already, but in different ways,” said Pepper Lohr, Senior Manager of Shows and Parties for Virgin Voyages. “To bring places to life in unexpected ways.”

Scarlet Night is the result of a creative collaboration between Virgin Voyages’ in house entertainment team and award-winning producer behind Sleep No More, Queen of the Night, and The Donkey Show, Randy Weiner, who conceived, designed and produced this, multi location based event. Brooklyn’s exceptional nightlife producers, “House of Yes” carry the energy on later into the night, with their creative experience concepts at Scarlet Lady’s onboard nightclub, The Manor.
