Set sail for summer with Virgin Voyages

If you book your unforgettable summer voyage now, you’ll be rewarded with unmatched savings – up to 80% off a second guest, and, for a limited time, the chance to upgrade for free from a Sea View to a Sea Terrace balcony cabin when you book with Travel Counsellors.

For those setting sail in July, you can also enjoy Virgin’s 2024 Eat & Drink Festival — a month-long celebration of its exceptional and award-winning onboard dining. In addition, you can join in with themed culinary events such as the Virgin Voyages Asian Night Market, Seven Sea Sippers, and a cocktail treasure hunt, to name just a few.

Buffets and pre-set dining times are ditched in favour of made-to-order food and leisurely brunches – all included in your package. You can choose from steakhouses, Korean barbecue, a global food market, and even a cooking lab, and expect vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options in every venue. Also included are essential drinks such as still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas, and drip coffee.

From three to 12-night voyages, there's a Virgin Voyages sailing for everyone. Set sail from Portsmouth this summer to a variety of destinations including the beautiful Bilbao and vibrant Amsterdam, or from Barcelona or Athens on an iconic and fun-filled Mediterranean voyage.

This summer, Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady will be ported in Barcelona from May 2024 and will take guests to Mediterranean highlights, including the party-loving Balearic Island of Ibiza, the rugged beaches of Palma de Mallorca, and coastal cities and towns in France’s Provence region, including Marseille and the hidden gem of Toulon. Alternatively, the seven-night Adriatic Sea, Greece, and Croatia excursion out of Athens is the perfect trip for those looking to hop around some Greek islands as well as visit a Balkan Bay.

As always, Virgin Voyages’ Fair & Flexible fares include everything you could possibly need to have an unforgettable holiday, from unlimited Wi-Fi to awe-inspiring entertainment. With group fitness classes, all food and essential drinks, and gratuities included, you don't have to worry about a thing.

Explore a holistic approach to wellbeing as you indulge in rejuvenating experiences on board. Challenge yourself in the Build & Balance gym and yoga studio or find your rhythm with outdoor boxing and high-intensity interval training sessions. For something more relaxing, the Aquatic Club and a pampering spa complete with a mudroom await, alongside juice bars ready to refresh you with protein boosters and uplifting beverages.

There’s also a whole array of cabins to suit all kinds of travellers, from VIP Rock Star Quarters and Mega Rock Star Quarters with exclusive benefits, to Sea Terraces with alfresco hammocks and cosy Insiders for couples looking for privacy.
