What to know about sailing Virgin Voyages in Europe and the Mediterranean. In this video, I walk you through what these sailings are actually like so you know exactly what to expect. From why Europe is a completely different trip than the Caribbean, to how to think about flights, jet lag, and a round trip versus a one way, I share helpful tips to make a port-heavy itinerary work in your favor. I also take you through every port I have been to on Valiant Lady and Scarlet Lady: Barcelona, Civitavecchia for Rome, Livorno for Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre, Ibiza as an overnight port, Cannes, Cagliari in Sardinia, Ajaccio in Corsica, and Valencia. I cover the port day habits that keep you from missing the ship, the difference between ship time and port time, and my honest take on what both sailings cost me per night. Whether you are sailing on Valiant Lady, Scarlet Lady, or any future Virgin Voyages voyage to Europe, these tips will help you plan your trip the right way. ***** BOOK YOUR VIRGIN VOYAGES SAILING WITH US ***** 🛳️ Top 10 First Mates out of 33,000+ Virgin Voyages agents Seriously expert advice.
