We had the honor of welcoming the Scarlet Lady, the flagship vessel from the prestigious Virgin Voyages, for its very first Maiden Call at our port. 🛳️🎉 This remarkable occasion marked not just a milestone in our port's history, but also a symbol of an exciting new chapter of collaboration between Virgin Voyages and Catania Cruise Port.
The arrival of the Scarlet Lady was celebrated with the traditional exchange of the Crest, a maritime custom that embodies the strengthening of bonds and mutual respect between the ship and the destination. This exchange represents the beginning of what we hope will be a long-lasting and fruitful partnership with Virgin Voyages, further solidifying Catania’s position as a key Mediterranean destination for luxury and innovative cruising.
Virgin Voyages, known for its forward-thinking approach to cruising, brings a unique and vibrant spirit to every port it visits. The presence of the Scarlet Lady in Catania is not only a testament to the growing appeal of our city but also a valuable opportunity for collaboration, growth, and the continued development of the cruise tourism sector.
We are immensely grateful to @virginvoyages for trusting us with their presence and for choosing Catania as one of their premier destinations. This partnership is a promising sign of many exciting things to come. We are ready to welcome the Scarlet Lady and all her future visits with open arms and a commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences to their guests.
Thank you, Virgin Voyages, for making this special moment possible. We look forward to welcoming you many more times in the future!
