Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady

Cruise the most incredible spots in the Adriatic Sea — by way of Croatia’s coastline, Greece’s glamorous islands, and a bay in the Balkans. With a late-night stay in Dubrovnik, there’s plenty of time to explore the scenic city during the day and take part in the vibrant nightlife. Join Two Bad Tourists hosted gay group trip on brand new Resilient Lady from June 16-23, 2024. The 7-night cruise is round-trip from Athens with amazing ports of call. Our gay group trip will offer daily group dinners, shore excursions, private cocktail parties, activities & more.

Roman ruins, medieval churches, stylish shops, and hip bars — with a late departure from Split, you’ll have more than enough time to see it all before you split. Take in breathtaking views of the maze-like city of Kotor rising from the mountains on a scenic sail to the port — then do it again sailing out. Hit the shops downtown Corfu, cross the drawbridge to the Old Fortress, snorkel in the crystalline sea — with a late departure, you’ll get to do it all.

As usual for our hosted trips, singles, couples, friends or groups are welcome. In fact, Virgin Voyages even offers solo traveler cabins (with a reasonable single supplement). This is a great opportunity and unique in the cruise industry! Our gay group trip within the larger Virgin Voyages ship still allows us to get to know each other and make new friends easily onboard as we will be sharing meals and plenty of other group activities together.

Virgin Voyages Brand New Resilient Lady

Virgin Voyages' third ship set sail 2023. Be one of the first sailors to experience this revolutionary ship design where interior spaces were curated by world-renowned interior designers Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio, New York’s Roman and Williams, Concrete Amsterdam and Softroom.

The Resilient Lady has pulled out all the stops to become a floating design icon. From the VIP top deck, club lounge and sky rooms through to that unique tattoo studio, you’ll find that no detail has been overlooked. You’ll be cruising the Mediterranean in a ship that’s full of theatrical spaces and nautical touches, spiced up with a sense of drama and fun. And not a beige bedspread in sight.

Luxury Ship Features
If you’re in the Mediterranean, you better make absolutely sure you’re making the most of every sun-kissed second. The Dock, the ship’s exclusive outdoor lounge, is where you can find total peace and tranquillity, with just the gentle sound of the waves and the occasional chatter of dolphins as they play in the bow waves. Feeling a little more active? The Athletic Club is the spot to head to, with the world’s largest daybed (they never do anything by halves onboard the Resilient Lady) to relax on when you need a breather from all that chilling out.

At night, the stars emerge with the glitz and glamour of The Manor nightclub. This dazzling club tips a nod to Richard Branson, charting his history in the music industry, and then celebrating that heritage by banging out some insane tunes until the small hours. If you want a break from the beat, head out on deck where you can gaze out at the ocean while a billion stars shine. This is the stuff memories are made of (oops, looks like another trip to Squid Ink, then…).

Fuelling up on Food
No luxury ship is complete without food, food, and more food, and the Resilient Lady doesn’t short-change you when it comes to chowing down. There’s over 20 choices of meals whenever you’re peckish – there’s no set menus or enforced meal times here. Whether you want a healthy snack at 6am or a midnight feast, the crew will cater for you.

First up, there’s Razzle Dazzle, where you’ll discover your inner vegan. Or, try the gloriously opulent Pink Algarve, serving Mexican fusion with all the trimmings.

And wait, what’s this? Street food onboard a ship? At the Resilient Lady’s Galley, you’ll find eight different food stalls selling everything from tacos to sushi, burgers to bento boxes and noodles. You may be cruising the Med, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the world can’t join in.

Wellness and Zen Time on your Adult Voyage
There’s a concept at Virgin Voyages – Vitamin Sea. There’s nothing quite like the ocean to restore that inner wellness we all crave, so onboard you’ll get the time to re-energise with some state-of-the-art activities in the Crow’s Nest.

You can detox with sunrise or sunset yoga classes, or retox with a few rounds in the boxing ring. The B-Complex gym space gets your heart pumping with some serious cardio, or go for some zen time in Redemption, the Resilient Lady’s onboard spa.

Wallow about in glorious mud pools, get your chakras aligned on a quartz bed, or zone out with a spa treatment. Be warned, though: at night this mermaid’s hideaway transforms into a killer club, where the resident DJ gets things buzzing with some serious tunes.

Resilient Lady entertainment - mind-blowing revelry
Grab your glad rags, throw on your dancing shoes and be prepared to be amazed by some of the best cruise ship entertainment on the high seas. Virgin Voyages are going back to their musical roots with on board entertainment that’ll have you boogying until the sun comes up. Choose from a line-up of brand new, original shows and gigs developed by some of the best entertainers in the business. Like everything else on the Valiant Lady, cruise entertainment doesn’t get much better than this.

Just keep levelling up with an on-board party at the Manor, the Resilient Lady’s exclusive nightclub. Bag some front-row seats in the Red Room and be prepared to laugh your socks off or just stare slack-jawed in amazement at 21st-century magic and mayhem. The festival vibe keeps the curious entertained, and the cravers coming back for more. After a glorious meal and the best cocktails, it’s time to dance until dawn as the Resilient Lady steams her way to your next port of call.

Slumber at Sea in Luxury Cabins
Time for some snoozing, and Virgin Voyages have made sure that the cabins maintain that gloriously indulgent luxury you’ll find all over the Resilient Lady. Tom Dixon’s had a hand here too, designing the RockStar suites with flair and individuality, but with absolutely no compromise on comfort. All of the RockStar suites are on Deck 15, just under Richard’s Rooftop (RockStar VIPs get exclusive access to the club).

Book a RockStar suite and you get a host of VIP extras including airport transfers, luggage assistance and a private walk down the terminal pathway on arrival, as well as anytime boarding and early booking for special events. If you want to feel like a real rock star, this is your chance.
