Mediterranean Cruise - Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady

Virgin Voyages are still relatively new and I wanted to see what it was really like to cruise with them. Join me as I board the Valiant Lady in Barcelona for the Irresistible Mediterranean cruise and my first experience of Virgin Voyages.
I show you what a typical cruise is like with Virgin, from the facilities onboard to the food, a quick tour of my cabin and show you some of the entertainment. I even look at the atmosphere onboard and the range of passengers, or sailors as Virgin calls them.
Onboard I found there was plenty to do and the facilities were very nice, I especially liked the gym which was huge for a cruise ship. The ship had a pretty relaxed atmosphere and the range of passengers was very mixed. I thought it may be more younger people as this is who Virgin seem to be targeting but the age group in reality was everyone from 18-70+, i'd say the average age was probable around 40 though. There was a sizeable portion of LGBT people onboard too.
I journeyed to Toulon in France, La Spezia in Italy, the French island of Corsica as well as Ibiza in Spain. This was part of the Irresistible Med cruise which is one of the cruises operated by Virgin in the Western Mediterranean.

The Cinque Terre is completely different when cruise ships aren’t in port, late afternoon and evening are magical.

You should have more subscribers 🤷🏻‍♂️. Your vlogs are always good quality and informative. We had the same thoughts as you re. Virgin. Organised zaniness isn't my thing 😂, but we are going to try a mini cruise from Portsmouth this year as we do like the style of the ships and the food looks amazing. Ta for Singapore/Kuala Lumpur vlogs, they came in handy for the Asia Cruise we’ve just done. Definitely didn’t try the durian after getting a whiff of it in China Town. 🤢😂

Awesome video! Very nicely done. I was looking to book a Virgin Carribean cruise, but wasn’t sure what to expect on Virgin. Looks great. Thanks for the thorough review. Keep up the great work!

Hi love the vlog, we are going on our first VV cruise this year. Very excited. Just a quick question what time did you book the miss behave show and what time did you book the extra virgin restaurant? I’m n sure what time to book the shows if I also want to do a restaurant as we don’t want to miss rather each day

[@nextpassenger]

Thanks glad you liked the video! 😃 We booked the show for around 7pm and our meal for 8:15pm. Each of the shows onboard seemed to be on a couple of times during the cruise and the main restaurants are all open from around 5:30pm to 9:30pm in the evening so you should be able to do both. Enjoy your cruise, I'm sure you'll have a great time! 🥳
