Virgin Voyages Alaska Cruise: Planning + Excursions!

Previewing Virgin Voyages’ First Alaska Itinerary

Virgin Voyages is going to Alaska for the FIRST time ever, and I board tomorrow. So the night before, I opened the app and went through the entire itinerary with you: what's new, what's different, and exactly what to expect on this sailing. This is Brilliant Lady's first-ever Alaska voyage out of Seattle, a 7-night roundtrip through the Inside Passage, Ketchikan, Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, and Prince Rupert. I've sailed Virgin 36 times, but Alaska is brand new for all of us, so we're doing the homework together. I walk through the app day by day, call out the new shows and entertainment, break down what's changed from a normal Virgin sailing, and drop my honest tips so you step on that ship knowing exactly what's coming. 📝 Get the Alaska packing list!https://christinelozada.kit.com/20453131bf 🎥 Excursions video and more Alaska video tips are coming soon! ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! ***** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?

Virgin Voyages Barcelona Cruise Port Tips

If you're cruising in or out of Barcelona with Virgin Voyages, there are a couple things I wish I knew before arriving. What surprised me the most is that Virgin Voyages can use two different cruise terminals in Barcelona, and they are not right next to each other. That alone can completely change your experience getting to or from the port, so it’s really important to check your app closer to your sailing date. I’m also sharing what disembarkation was like, including luggage pickup, passport tips, and my real experience choosing between Uber and a taxi (spoiler: not what I expected). If you're planning a Europe sailing, these small details can make a big difference in your travel day. There’s a full Europe playlist with more tips. I’ll see you in the next one.
