Virgin Voyages will operate its inaugural Scandinavia and the Baltics season in summer 2028, with Valiant Lady homeporting in Amsterdam for the first time
The adults-only cruise line will offer six sailings between July and September 2028, ranging from seven-to-12-nights, with 15 maiden ports. The programme includes two Western Europe voyages between Barcelona and Amsterdam, four Northern Europe sailings roundtrip from Amsterdam and an itinerary crossing the Arctic Circle.
The new itineraries include: 'Western Europe: Barcelona to Amsterdam', 'Scandinavia and Stockholm Overnight', 'Norwegian Fjords', 'Scandinavia and Hamburg', 'Arctic Circle and Norwegian Fjords', and 'Western Europe: Amsterdam to Barcelona'.
UK First Mates (travel agents) who book their Sailors on any of the six sailings will be entered into a draw to win a place on one of the voyages. Each qualifying booking gives the First Mate one entry, meaning the more bookings they make, the more entries they receive.
Bookings open on August 13st, 2026, at 5AM.
Nathan Rosenberg, Chief Brand Experience, Marketing and Momentum Officer of Virgin Voyages, commented, "We have so much love for our Mediterranean and Alaskan experiences and we can't wait to show off how Virgin Voyages will celebrate this new part of the map we have unlocked. The fjords called for something calmer. The Baltic cities called for something later. The Arctic Circle called for something we'd never staged before and it will be epic. Crafted for our Sailors but inspired by the new places we are headed."
