Named as an ode to the strength and resilience of the Virgin Voyages community throughout the pandemic, Resilient Lady is the newest ship in the Virgin Voyages fleet (soon to be joined by Brilliant Lady). Through summer 2023 she’ll be plying the waters of the Mediterranean from her home port of Piraeus (Athens), so I’ve brought you a preview of some of the journeys that you can look forward to.
Sailing out of Athens, you’ll tick off some of the most idyllic Greeks Isles on this seven-night jaunt through the eastern Mediterranean. Highlights include an overnight in the glamorous hotspot of Mykonos, where you’ll be free to immerse yourself in the island’s tranquil seafront cafes or indulge in its world-famous beach club parties, and the stop in Santorini to wander though its whitewashed alleyways and marvel at its Cycladic architecture.
