Virgin Voyages unveils new four-night Taster Voyages

Virgin Voyages has announced a series of four-night sailings from Barcelona and Palma aboard Valiant Lady that will be setting sail from Barcelona over the summer. These eagerly anticipated outings are an excellent opportunity for people that are new to cruising, to get out to sea and experience the Virgin lifestyle. They’re also really handy for parents that are keen to get away for a short break but don’t want to leave the children for a full week.

Prices start at just £899 per person, for stays in a Central Sea Terrace with balcony, and include a $300 Bar Tab and all the usual Virgin Voyages inclusions such as Wi-Fi, tips, dining, essential drinks and fitness classes. This represents excellent value compared to a city break in the area.

Sailings are departing from 14th May, right up until the final sailing of the summer on 17th September.

Virgin’s onboard dining features menus by a Michelin-starred chef collective and ditches buffets and pre-set dining times in favour of made-to-order food and leisurely brunches from 20+ unique eateries – all included. Choose from steakhouses, a Korean barbecue, an international food market and even a cooking lab, and expect vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options in every venue. Also included are ‘Basic Bevvies’ such as still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas and drip coffee.

As well as indulgence, Virgin Voyages maintain a focus on wellbeing, relaxation and rejuvenation through cutting-edge facilities including an Aquatic Club, a Build & Balance gym and yoga studio, outdoor boxing and HIIT sessions, an alfresco jogging track and curated hikes at ports. Completing the picture are a pampering spa complete with a mudroom, and juice bars serving protein boosters and other pick-me-ups.

There’s a whole array of cabins to suit all travellers, from VIP Rock Star Quarters and even Mega Rock Start Quarters with exclusive benefits through Sea Terraces with alfresco hammocks to Sea Views with duo window seats and posh but cosy Insiders or Social Insiders for couples or four friends respectively.

Immerse yourself in the impressive Norwegian coastline

11 June 2024

Hurtigruten’s 12-day classic Coastal Express itinerary is the ultimate way to see the Norwegian coast, taking you from cosmopolitan Bergen in the south to the edge of Europe at the North Cape and Kirkenes, then back again, covering much more of Norway than other cruise lines and visiting many smaller ports they can’t reach.
