Lucky Lotus: Scarlet Lady’s Exclusive Chinese Dining Experience

Full Menu

Lucky Lotus is one of the best reasons to choose Scarlet Lady over any other Virgin Voyages ship — and one of the fleet’s most compelling dining stories. Launched in late 2024, Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle transformed Scarlet Lady’s evening dining concept into something genuinely distinctive: a Chinese-inspired restaurant with bold, shareable plates, intimate lounge seating, and an atmosphere that feels a world away from the communal energy of the original Razzle Dazzle space.

You can only get it on Scarlet Lady. If that matters to you — and it should — it’s one more reason to book her.

The Setting

Lucky Lotus replaced the communal long-table format of the original Razzle Dazzle with smaller, more intimate seating arrangements. Warm lighting, lounge-style comfort, and a playful take on traditional Chinese-inspired décor create a space that’s relaxed and inviting. It’s a slower-paced meal by design — perfect for drinks with friends or a quieter evening of bold flavors.

The Menu

Lucky Lotus’ 2026 menu is built around shareable Chinese-inspired plates:

Chinese cuisine at Lucky Lotus exclusive restaurant on Scarlet Lady
  • Starters: Trio of Lengcai (chili cucumber, mustard cabbage, pickled lotus root), Pan Roasted Vegetable Dumplings, Kabocha & Chicken Wonton Soup, Crispy Walnut Prawns, Peking Duck Bao Buns, and Honey Sriracha Sticky Ribs
  • Mains: Buddha’s Delight, Stir Fried Rice Noodles, Szechuan Hot & Sour Noodles, Basil Chicken, Blossoming Sweet & Sour Fish, Five Spice Pork Chop, and Grilled Ribeye with black peppercorn sauce
  • Desserts: Egg Tart, Banana & Ricotta Rangoon, Mango Pudding, and Almond Tofu & Black Sesame

Treat Yourself: The Lobster & King Crab Hotpot ($65) — shrimp, scallop, clam, and glass noodles — is Lucky Lotus’s premium centerpiece. For seafood lovers, it’s worth every dollar.

Brunch

Lucky Lotus also refreshed its brunch menu, incorporating elements of the new Chinese-inspired concept including vegetable dumplings alongside returning Razzle Dazzle brunch favorites. The bottomless brunch format — up to two hours of bottomless brunch drinks — continues here.

How to Book

Reservations open 45 days before sailing (60 days for suite guests). Lucky Lotus is exclusive to Scarlet Lady and fills up quickly once it became known. Book it as soon as reservations open.

Insider Tips from Joel and Erin

  • Order multiple shareable plates. Lucky Lotus is designed for communal eating. Get more than you think you need and share everything.
  • The Lobster & King Crab Hotpot is the move. At $65 it’s a splurge, but for a special evening aboard Scarlet Lady, the Lucky Lotus Hotpot is about as good as it gets.
  • Pair your meal with the bar program. Lucky Lotus has its own bar with cocktails designed to complement the Chinese-inspired menu. Ask your server for recommendations.
