Virgin Voyages has released details of new Southern Caribbean itineraries that are now bookable aboard Resilient Lady from late 2022 and into early 2023.
Reservations opened for the maiden itineraries on Virgin Voyage’s third ship in March this year. Resilient Lady will initially operate from Piraeus, Athens starting August 2022, cruising the Greek Isles and Croatian coastline.
This week, Virgin Voyages confirmed its next homeport for Resilient Lady will be in Puerto Rico, the brand’s second Caribbean hub behind Miami, Florida. From San Juan, the ship will cruise to destinations in Aruba, Curacao, St. Lucia, St Kitts & Nevis, Martinique, Barbados, Antigua, Guadeloupe and the British Virgin Islands.
Wrapping up its first summer in the Mediterranean is a 9-night Charming Greece, Italy, Spain & Portugal voyage on 23 October 2022 from Pireaus to Lisbon, with calls at Catania, Palma de Mallorca and Malaga.
