With a ‘no kids' policy, Scarlet Lady and Valiant are ships that promise escapism and plenty of fun for those who set sail with them. But, naturally, it's not all plain sailing. The crew, above and below deck, have many roles to fulfill to keep guests happy and the ship running smoothly. From tricky demands from the sailors to last-minute challenges on the bridge, the series follows the jeopardy as it unfolds and the characters that make these worlds come alive. Scarlet Lady, the flagship of Virgin's fleet of luxury cruise ships, is back in her home port of Miami. As satisfied sailors reluctantly bid farewell to their VIP lifestyles, a set of fresh faces eagerly come aboard! Among the new passengers are Jane and her friends Martin and Mia. Jane's been treated to the trip as a birthday gift from her generous friends — though she is sceptical that life at sea might not be for her. Can Scarlet's crew convince Jane that there's more to cruising than ‘blue rinses and buffets'? We also meet perfectionist restaurant manager Jayson, whose passion for all things food and service borders on the obsessive! Another new passenger is Alison. The Scottish grandmother is about to reach a milestone birthday and does not want to celebrate quietly. She plans to embrace everything the ship has to offer, from game shows to bar crawls — and even a tattoo from the ship's on-board tattoo parlour, the first of its kind, anywhere in the world! Housekeeper Cielo and her stage rigger boyfriend Callum enjoy a rare afternoon off. Working on opposite shifts, the lovebirds are struggling to find time together — but there are big changes on the horizon, with a possible promotion and a transfer to another ship. Could the couple soon find an ocean between them? And in the Red Room theatre, the ship's acrobats are preparing for tonight's ‘deathdefying performance'. But the weather conditions on deck are deteriorating and the ship is rocking heavily. The cast face an agonising choice — risk serious injury should a stunt go wrong, or water down their show and leave the passengers disappointed.

It's a busy and challenging time on board Scarlet Lady this week — and also includes royalty! Before they set sail, Glenroy and his team need to get over £250,000 worth of goods to the necessary departments. But there's a hitch: Dominic, head chef in restaurant ‘The Wake', can't find some important fish that's on tonight's menu! But this could be the least of his challenges as his restaurant has a major leak from the ceiling! Chris in Maintenance rushes to the rescue. But with water all over the fixtures and fittings, will the diners be able to eat later that evening? Meanwhile, Irish sailors Marcus and Orla are up for something new. They've booked on to a class that teaches you how to take Instaworthy snaps of your food! It's totally out of their comfort zone. Will they remain sceptical or become seasoned vloggers?! As the ship prepares to head off for its first stop in Nassau, a spring gets caught near the dock and second officer Georgia has some quick thinking to do! And finally, royalty is in town! As the ship docks in the capital city of the Bahamas, word spreads that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are also visiting. Cue very excited crew member balancer Nate and his pal going on a hunt to track them down! Will they get a special peek of the royal couple?
