Virgin Voyages is once again collaborating with Atlantis Events to host two exciting all-gay charter cruises in 2025. These special sailings, aboard Scarlet Lady and Resilient Lady, are designed for LGBTQ travelers looking for a vibrant and inclusive vacation experience. Each journey will offer a mix of relaxation, adventure, and community, with plenty of entertainment both onboard and in the stunning destinations.

What is a Charter Cruise?

A charter cruise means that an entire ship is reserved by one organization or group — in this case, Atlantis Events. Everything from entertainment to themed parties is tailored for the guests, offering a unique and carefree experience at sea.

Scarlet Lady: Barcelona to Lisbon (July 13–22, 2025)

This 9-night cruise departs from Barcelona and sails through the Mediterranean and Atlantic, stopping at iconic cities along the way. The itinerary includes:

  • Marseille: A gateway to Provence, with stunning coastal views
  • Ibiza: An overnight stop to experience both the island’s famous nightlife and daytime beauty
  • Valencia, Malaga, and Seville: Spanish cities filled with culture and history
  • Lisbon: The cruise finishes with a full day in Portugal’s vibrant capital
