An innovative Spanish-inspired restaurant, Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, will debut aboard Brilliant Lady, the newest member of the Virgin Voyages fleet.

It follows the successful of Chinese-inspired restaurant Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle in November aboard Scarlet Lady.

Rojo by Razzle Dazzle will be co-helmed by Justin Severino and Nate Hobart, co-chefs at Morcilla, the Spanish-style charcuteria in Pittsburgh. The new menu will feature Morcilla’s popular 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,” Levi Mezick, Director of Culinary Program Development, said. “Spanish cuisine and the communal dining traditions complement our commitment to authentic yet innovative experiences for our Sailors.”

By day, Razzle’s signature brunch will have a Spanish-American twist served in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. New dishes include jamon croquettes paired with morning classics like acai bowls, pastries and frittatas.

When the sun sets, Rojo transforms into an elevated dining experience with Razzle Dazzle’s “sophisticated-but-warm” vibe. The menu features pintxos, tapas, and platos grandes – all pulling inspiration from Spain’s renowned culinary regions.

On the cocktail front, Virgin Voyages has partnered with Onada Consulting from Barcelona, which sought out iconic bars in Spain’s hottest cities including Barcelona, Madrid and San Sebastian. Each cocktail captures the authentic Spanish spirit in every sip with authentic ingredients and flavours.

The wine menu spans bold reds like Rioja and Ribera del Duero to refreshing Albariños from Rias Baixas.

The Razzle Dazzle space has been reimagined for Rojo with wooden accents, deep reddish-orange tones and sleek finishes.

Other new foodie experiences coming to the Virgin Voyages fleet. Extra Virgin is pairing existing favourites with new pastas, arancini, seafood risotto and roasted monkfish, among others. Meanwhile, Gunbae – the only Korean BBQ at sea – is introducing kimbap rolls, bulgogi fire meat and bo ssam (whole roasted pork butt with oysters and caviar).
