Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Voyages has launched its second ship ahead of a summer programme of Mediterranean sailings.
Valiant Lady will cruise around the UK, gracing the ports of London International Cruise Terminal (Tilbury) and Liverpool ahead of her maiden voyage from Portsmouth before docking at her homeport in Barcelona.
Sir Richard said: “ Virgin Voyages has been a dream in the making since my 20s and today is a momentous day launching our second ladyship, Valiant Lady.
