“As Scarlet Lady says bon voyage after a brilliant summer party season, we look forward to seeing you next year when our second ship, Valiant Lady, debuts from here. She also spins the heads, and there’s nowhere else we’d rather start it. “
The ship is expected to depart at 7 p.m. tonight, with the Portsmouth International Port website indicating that this is its departure time for New York.
Stopping at the Big Apple in September, The Scarlet Lady will host a series of premium and limited events including dining experiences, a poolside party, and special performances.
