Hola! Get ready for a Mediterranean cruise getaway like no other!
Are you ready for a jet-setter’s holiday in some of the most glamorous European destinations? Think romantic strolls through Barcelona, trying “bocadillos” (remember, the whole country is a tapas party!). Prepare for chic afternoons buying souvenirs in Marseille, bumping into celebrities on the quaint streets of Cannes, and lying under the Mediterranean sun in Palma de Mallorca.
Embark on the fabulous Virgin Voyages’ ‘Scarlet Lady’ and enjoy every day at sea discovering all the facilities designed to elevate your experience. Whether you are alone relaxing at The Perch, socialising in the well-attended Draught Haus bar or unwinding at the Aquatic Bar's poolside oasis, you will always be indulging in luxurious surroundings and breathtaking views. Explore the immersive art gallery or indulge in delicious cuisine at 20+ complimentary eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin-star chefs. Why not treat yourself to an afternoon of relaxation at Redemption Spa (additional charge), or if you’re feeling active, join a complimentary group fitness class as you cruise toward your next destination. At night, watch live entertainment at the Manor, or dance the night away at The Red Room after enjoying a nightcap under the stars at The Dock Bar.
Start your holiday in Barcelona, Spain, where the architectural genius of Antoni Gaudi feels at home with the outgoing and fun culture of the city. Each area has its own personality and charm, from El Born’s chic bars and boutiques to Barri Gotic’s historic streets.
Marseille, a bustling port city in southern France, is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, flavours and history. Its ancient roots as a Greek colony blend seamlessly with its modern Mediterranean charm. From the historic Vieux-Port to the cultural delights of Le Panier district, Marseille beckons visitors with its lively atmosphere, stunning coastline, and dynamic culinary scene.
Ramp up the glam, you are in Cannes! This chic city on the French Riviera epitomizes luxury and sophistication. Famous for its annual film festival, Cannes dazzles with its palm-lined Croisette promenade, designer boutiques, and exclusive beach clubs. Beyond the glitz, its charming old town, Le Suquet, offers a glimpse into its medieval past.
Cruise to the exotic Spanish Isles, with Palma de Mallorca as the first stop. The vibrant capital of Spain's Balearic Islands is a captivating blend of Spanish culture and natural beauty. Its crown jewel, the majestic Palma Cathedral, overlooks the picturesque harbour, while the narrow streets of the Old Town boast hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
Last but not least, you’ll reach Ibiza. This iconic Mediterranean island is known for its legendary nightlife, stunning beaches and vibrant atmosphere. From the popular clubs to the tranquil coves of Cala d'Hort, this island captivates visitors with its diverse allure. Beyond the party scene, its UNESCO-listed old town, Dalt Vila, and the scenic countryside make it a must-visit destination for all.
With return international full-service flights, a 7-night cruise aboard Virgin Voyages’ ‘Scarlet Lady’, 3 nights in a 4-star hotel in Barcelona & 20 meals included, including all meals while cruising, this deal offers an unforgettable Mediterranean experience in a stylish, laid back and fun-seeking vessel.
If you choose Itinerary 2, after disembarking your Virgin Voyages cruise, you will fly to Rome, Italy, where you’ll spend two full leisure days in the Eternal City, visiting landmarks like the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and more.

Welcome to Barcelona!
With its laid-back attitude, fresh-from-the-sea cuisine, and thriving art scene, Barcelona is the envy of every other Mediterranean city. No other stop on the Mediterranean oozes culture like Barcelona. Thanks to the famous Antoni Gaudí’s avant-garde architecture and influence, Barcelona boasts nine UNESCO World Heritage sites for visitors to marvel at. The Catalonian capital attracts bohemians, nomads and separatists seeking independence.
Upon arrival make your own way to your centrally located hotel.

Beyond the bucket-list destinations like La Sagrada Familia (The Holy Family) Church and Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s unique barrios beg to be explored.

As the oldest city in France, the streets of its Vieux Port and Le Panier quarter preserve thousands of years of history while also embracing modernity — with vibrant additions like murals and street art displays. The Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde (affectionately called the La Bonne Mére for short) overlooks the city from the highest hill; giving visitors a bird’s eye view of Marseille. And if you’d really like to make like a local and get to know the city, order a pastis on ice (the official drink of Marseille) and post up at a cafe — taking in the incredible personality of the second-largest city in France.

Spend a day at the beach, watch the sunset at the romantic old quarter of Le Suquet, or dance away like the rich and famous did at so many film premiere parties. The city is packed with a sense of duality — where historic European streets filled with low-key restaurants meet peak social glitz and glamour — giving you the opportunity to experience this French gem any way you so choose.
This port may require you to board a tender to get from the ship to the shore.

Hidden coves, hilltop villages and limestone mountains make the island of Mallorca an irresistible stop in the Mediterranean. Palma de Mallorca (Palma for short) rose from instability — switching between Roman, Byzantine, and Moor rule — and blossomed into an oasis. Today, expats and entrepreneurs populate Palma, "livin' la vida loca" with the highest standard of living in Spain.
The turquoise blue waters, green-clad shutters and orange-spotted trees reflect Mallorca’s vivid energy. It’s not the same wild energy as its Balearic neighbor Ibiza — it’s different. It’s an energy that breathes life back into your soul after hiking through mountains, strolling through historic streets and diving into the Mediterranean deep. Palma continues to grow and thrive as the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca and the modern capital of the Balearic Islands. After leaving Palma’s port, you’ll be dreaming up creative ways on how to make your way back to Mallorca.
Palma’s winding streets lead you to Gothic churches and scenic squares. Its central cathedral, the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma (nicknamed La Seu) is a must-see landmark. The main drag, Passeig del Born, gives way to side streets with shops and art galleries while the nearby ex-fisherman village Santa Catalina is the city’s foodie quarter with up-and-coming bars and cute cafes. To get a full 360-degree view of Palma, visit Bellver Castle (entrance not included), one of Europe’s only circular castles, or gaze out from one of the city’s many rooftop bars.

Ibiza’s artistic roots were settled in the early 60s when artisans, painters and designers flocked to the island. The bohemian atmosphere can still be experienced at the vibrant Las Dalias. A local favourite, the market offers countless stalls of tapas and juice stands, tea tents, handmade clothes and more, all set up in the shade of pine trees and bungalows. Enjoy shopping, people watching, and dining on a one-of-a-kind experience that might even end up with a massage or your hand being read.

With its white-walled villages and hippie-like culture, Ibiza is a multifaceted paradise with a little something for everyone. A day in Ibiza will change your view of the island. It’s up to you to share your own story about Ibiza to dispel the rumours that Ibiza is only for partygoers. Yes, the parties go on, but the stories of the crescent-like coves, crystal clear waters and bohemian beat grow more intriguing over time. For a sunset away from the crowds, head to Cala D’hort where the setting sun illuminates Es Vedrà, a rock formation off the southern coast. Sunsets in Ibiza mark both the beginning and end of stories — the end of relaxing days and the start to electric nights.
Your ship docks in Ibiza overnight so take your time to explore this iconic Spanish island and perhaps enjoy some nightlife with no pressure to rush back to the ship.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide:
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.
Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Mediterranean
From July to October, the Mediterranean experiences a shift from mild to hot temperatures. July and August, typically being the hottest months, often reach highs of 26°C to 32°C. September begins to cool slightly, averaging between 24°C to 29°C, while October sees a further decline in temperatures, ranging from 20°C to 25°C. These temperature fluctuations make the Mediterranean an ideal destination for summer vacations, offering ample opportunities for beach outings and outdoor activities.

Shopping:
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts.
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.

Europe (Shengen Visa Countries):
A tourist visa is not required for Europe for stays up to 90 days if travelling on an Australian passport.
Important:
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules may have changed since Covid-19. Some countries and airlines may require you to obtain an additional visa before arrival. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.
Please note:
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.
Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected.
