Virgin Voyages reveal their first-ever cruise ship; the Scarlet Lady. concrete designed the architecture and interiors of the upper decks (15,16 & 17) including the following areas: the Runway Jogging Track, the Athletic Club, the Cabanas, the Perch, the Gym & Tonic, the Aquatic Club, the Gyms and the crew deck.
Additionally concrete designed two outstanding restaurants on the lower decks: the Test Kitchen on deck 8 and Razzle Dazzle on deck 6.
Concrete changed the blueprint of traditional cruise ships instantly, by adding an actual running track and a two-storey F&B pavilion as the heart of the Aquatic Club. The red running track elegantly floats over the upper deck and functions not just as a promenade, it visually connects the Perch at the very top of the ship, with the Athletic & Aquatic Club on the decks below; making it the perfect spot to see and be seen.
At the upper decks of the ship, relaxation, leisure, activity and yachting glamour merge. Expanding across the rear of the ship The Athletic Club covers both sides as an active outdoor lounge and adult playground, whereas the front of the ship is home to the yacht inspired Aquatic Club. Attached to that you can enjoy Gym&Tonic to challenge your muscles and relax your mind. The red runway floats above all the upper decks and gives access to the Perch on the very top of the ship.
The Razzle Dazzle restaurant on deck 6 will instantly capture you with its bold graphic pattern, which functions as a strong backbone for its interior design. This dazzling pattern, once used as marine camouflage during WWI, and its original purpose of hiding by standing out is what inspired concrete in the design concept.
The Test Kitchen restaurant on deck 5 is designed as a laboratory, challenging guests to dissect the molecular compounds that turn food from basic into brilliant. The inviting entryway features a foodie's interpretation of the periodic table, once inside you will find 6 laboratories to expand your horizons and challenge your taste range on different foods, wine, beer, tea, coffee and patisserie.
The crew deck has a prominent yet hidden location on the upper deck, specifically designed to be a special spot with a unique atmosphere. A place for the ship's crew to unwind from their duties and simultaneously a desirable spot to be for guests onboard.
