New Virgin Voyages Spanish-Inspired Restaurant Unveiled

Bringing the vibrant flavours of Spain to the high seas, Virgin Voyages has revealed its newest dining experience onboard Brilliant Lady, Rojo by Razzle Dazzle.

This Spanish-inspired restaurant follows the success of Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle, the Chinese-inspired restaurant launched in November onboard Scarlet Lady.

Promising to have Sailors' taste buds dancing the flamenco, acclaimed chefs Justin Severino and Nate Hobart will co-helm Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, bringing their ingredient-driven, shareable dining innovations to the table.

Co-chefs at Morcilla, the Spanish-style charcuteria taking Pittsburgh by storm, Severino and Hobart are taking their deep passion for Spanish gastronomy straight to Virgin Voyages’ decks, along with some of their favourite recipes. Rojo’s new menu features Morcilla’s legendary Oxtail Montadito with braised oxtail, caramelized onion, mahón cheese and a crostini.

“Virgin Voyages set out to be a disruptor from day one, and our culinary program –  with Michelin-chef designed menus and boundary pushing creativity – was always central to that mission. Spanish cuisine and the communal dining traditions complement our commitment to authentic yet innovative experiences for our Sailors.”

- Levi Mezick, Director of Culinary Program Development

During the day, Razzle Dazzle's signature brunch gets a brand-new Spanish-American twist served in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. Exciting new dishes include jamon croquettes paired with morning classics like acai bowls, pastries and frittatas.

As the sun sets, Rojo transforms into an elevated dining experience pulsing with vibrant Spanish energy. Marked by Razzle Dazzle’s sophisticated-but-warm vibe, the menu features pintxos, tapas, and platos grandes; all inspired from Spain’s renowned culinary regions.

Ensuring Rojo's cocktails live up to the explosive cuisine, Virgin Voyages has partnered with Onada Consulting from Barcelona, bringing an authentic Spanish touch. Additionally, the drinks feature authentic ingredients, flavours and flair from Spain's hottest cities, including Barcelona, Madrid, and San Sebastian.

As for vino, the wine menu spans bold reds, like Rioja and Ribera del Duero, to refreshing Albariños from Rias Baixas. For brunch, Rojo serves up artisanal vermouths, vibrant sangrias, well-paired sherries, and sparkling Provocativo cava spritzes.

The Razzle Dazzle space has been completely reimagined for Rojo, creating an environment that honors Spain's communal dining traditions. With rich wooden accents, deep reddish-orange tones and sleek finishes paired with a mix of lively shared tables and intimate nooks, the inviting space perfectly embodies what Virgin Voyages is all about- bringing incredible people together over amazing food and unforgettable experiences.

However, Rojo by Razzle Dazzle isn’t the only refreshed foodie experience coming to the Virgin Voyages fleet!

Extra Virgin is pairing existing Sailor favourites with the likes of new pastas, arancini, seafood risotto and roasted monkfish. Meanwhile, at Gunbae Korean BBQ, new items include kimbap rolls, bulgogi fire meat and bo ssam (whole roasted pork butt with oysters and caviar). 

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on Rojo's tastebud-tingling new menu soon!
