Explore the Med with Virgin Voyages this summer

Following the unveiling of its new four-night summer sailings through the Med, we’ve taken a look at the other itineraries from Virgin Voyages that travel through the region. These sailings span right through the summer season, catching your ports of call at their finest.

Travel between Barcelona and Palma this summer on four-night sailings aboard Valiant Lady. 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.
