Sober Cruising: Sail from Barcelona on August 2, 2026, for eight nights with a small sober group (max 25) on Virgin Voyages — a journey of connection, clarity, and shared adventure at sea.

Set sail in August 2026 on an unforgettable 8-night Mediterranean adventure aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady — as part of a small sober-minded group (max 25) within a regular cruise. This adults-only itinerary combines iconic European ports, stunning coastlines, and vibrant city life, beginning and ending in the historic city of Barcelona, Spain.

Departing from Barcelona, Spain, this roundtrip cruise first takes you to the Balearic Islands, with a day ashore in Palma de Mallorca, Spain — a city known for its grand Gothic cathedral, sun-drenched beaches, and winding old town streets.

After a relaxing day at sea, you’ll arrive in Marseille, France, the gateway to Provence. Here, enjoy the blend of old port charm, contemporary culture, and the region’s celebrated cuisine.

Next is glamorous Cannes, France, famed for its palm-lined boulevards, boutique shopping, and French Riviera sparkle. Spend time soaking up Mediterranean flair in one of Europe’s most iconic seaside cities.

The journey continues to Ajaccio on the island of Corsica (France), a Mediterranean gem with dramatic coastal scenery and rich history — including the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte.

From there, you’ll sail to La Spezia, Italy, your gateway to Italy’s picturesque Ligurian coastline. La Spezia is perfectly positioned for exploring the colourful cliffside villages of the Cinque Terre or the artistic treasures of nearby Florence and Pisa.

After another day at sea, the voyage returns to Barcelona, Spain, where your Mediterranean experience — rich in culture, scenery, and connection — comes full circle.
