    I hope they have some UK sailings planned in the next release. There are some that cannot fly due to medical reasons and August this year will be our last for at least 2 years – longer if nothing included…

    1. The evidence is pointing to Amsterdam unfortunately but there is train options https://vvinsider.com/rumor-virgin-voyages-to-homeport-in-amsterdam-in-2028/

      1. Owen says:

        Fingers cross for Amsterdam as train isn’t too bad. But a train to Barcelona or Athens is out the question for most.

  2. Edwin says:

    Would love to see more European Itineraries in March tlrather than the fall. Starting to hate the VV is turning into a Caribbean cruise line va a worldwide one. Their really starting to put me off

    1. There simply isn’t a big enough market, Celebrity uses smaller ships to accommodate during Winter, ideally the other Winter market would actually be Australia but we know how that is at the moment!

  3. Glen Hendy says:

    I wonder if we will gain a Valiant Viking in 2028? Would make sense to mirror Brilliant Lady in Alaska, and visit the Fjords of Norway and maybe Sweden/Northern Europe on the way to and from? I can see the med becoming too busy for cruise ships and so if Virgin can sneak in a few Northern Europe trips to keep us Brits happy and offer something sort of similar to Brilliant Lady without the flights… 🤔

    1. Glen Hendy says:

      Oh, another thought… The remaining Med ship could offer 4/5 night ATH/BCN and then BCN/ATH trips that scratch the itch for those with a week off work and a back to back (or two!) for those with longer. It keeps both ports covered and increases turnover of guests. If they do this then they need to offer an incentive to book a back to back at a discounted rate or risk people being priced out.

    2. Howard Simons says:

      LOVE this idea. (Guy from California here). I’d be very interested in this type of itinerary. Tie in with the rumored Amsterdam presence perhaps

  4. Steve guy says:

    Will have done 4 valiant lady cruise in med this year plus one so far booked for 2027
    Will look at 2028 dates now
