The stunning and award-winning Scarlet Lady is sailing across the Atlantic to Barcelona for the first time in May 2024, meaning Sailors can trade in Australian winter for summer on the Mediterranean.

This is the perfect opportunity to swap those blah winter blues for blissful Mediterranean hues on Virgin’s spectacular and first iconic lady ship.

Itineraries like Irresistible Med and French Daze & Ibiza Nights —both luxurious 7-night getaways — are scheduled multiple times throughout the 2024-2025 season and will bring Sailors to both enchanting Mediterranean mainstays as well as lesser known coastal villages along the famed seaside.


Sailings leave from Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, where they can visit historical and art museums, gaze at Antoni Gaudí’s avant-garde architecture, and explore one of the world’s best preserved Medieval cities.

On the Spanish isle of Ibiza, Sailors can spend their days at the shore and their nights on the dance floor. The dazzling rugged beaches of Palma de Mallorca welcome Sailors to explore by bike and be enchanted by historic monasteries and cathedrals.

Plus, they’ll port at hidden gems nestled in France’s Provence and Corsica regions like the stunningly charming coastal towns of Toulon and Ajaccio.

Tuscany’s rolling hills act as the backdrop to Marina di Carrara and Sailors stopping by Civitavecchia will get a taste of historic Roman culture.

Along with rays of seaside sunshine, Sailors will soak in centuries of fascinating history and breathtaking landscapes. And of course, all sailings include days just spent at sea so they can slow down, charge up, and truly relax while gazing out at the hypnotizing blue horizon.

Virgin Voyages’ itineraries are exclusively adult, meaning the only children running around are Sailors’ own inner-children.

We’ve thoughtfully crafted and curated voyages that are fun and fulfilling for adults — no detail has gone overlooked! Plus, our Fair & Flexible Fares guarantee there are no hidden fees or surprise extra upcharges and Sailors have the ability to modify sailings should their plans change.

Included in that transparent fare are 20+ unique eateries, with menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs ranging from delicious diner comfort eats at spots like The Social Club to exquisite epicurious delights at our one-of-a-kind Test Kitchen.

Sailors will enjoy unlimited WiFi, essential drinks, gratuity, group fitness classes, and a stacked lineup of world class, mind-blowing entertainment included in their voyage fare as well.

And for a limited time, second Sailors can enjoy 60% off plus up to $400 in drinks when they book before 27 March. As always, we’re Brilliant For You, meaning your Sailors’ unforgettable holiday earns you brilliant commission.
