Virgin Voyages replaces cruise calls on Key West following community outcry

For the four night cruises that depart on October 6 and October 20 out of Miami, Scarlet Lady will now visit Nassau, Bahamas instead of stopping in Key West.

Virgin Voyages said the reason for the change is:

“Part of our brand ethos is to create an Epic Sea Change for All, and a pillar of this commitment is respecting the communities we visit and making a positive impact. We are actively working on a plan that suits the local Key West community as well as our Sailors and are hopeful that we’ll host our Fire & Sunset Soirées from Key West soon.”

Nassau, Bahamas is one of the most visited cruise ports in the Bahamas and Caribbean.  The cruise port is currently undergoing a massive remodel that will completely change the entire port area.  It is expected to be completed in 2022.
