French Riviera, Italy & Ibiza Overnight

July 2-9, 2028

Most Cruises Leave Before the Magic Begins.

Some places deserve more than a quick visit.

They deserve time to linger over a waterfront lunch, wander colorful seaside villages without watching the clock, toast the sunset with a glass of wine, and experience destinations after the day-trippers have gone home.

This hosted Via Rosa Experiences voyage invites you to experience the Mediterranean differently aboard Virgin Voyages' Valiant Lady. From the glamorous French Riviera and the pastel-colored harbor of Portofino to the whitewashed beauty of Ibiza, every day brings a new coastline, a new culture, and another unforgettable view.

The highlight of the journey? An overnight stay in Ibiza.

Instead of rushing back to the ship before sunset, you'll have the rare opportunity to experience the island after dark—whether that's enjoying an elegant dinner overlooking the marina, discovering Ibiza's charming Old Town, relaxing at a beach club, or dancing until sunrise at one of the world's most iconic nightlife destinations.

Between ports, Valiant Lady becomes your floating boutique hotel, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed for adults seeking something beyond the ordinary. Enjoy over 20 award-winning restaurants, spectacular entertainment, included fitness classes, stylish lounges, ocean-view terraces, and the freedom to vacation entirely on your own terms—without buffets, dress codes, or hidden dining fees.

Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, this hosted group experience combines breathtaking destinations, unforgettable moments, and the relaxed luxury Virgin Voyages is known for.

Wake up to a new view every morning. Stay out a little longer. Savor every moment.

This isn't simply a cruise through the Mediterranean.

It's the French Riviera, Italy, and Ibiza... experienced the Via Rosa way.
