Virgin Cruise – The Adriatic, Albania & Greece

This 8-night adults-only holiday is a fantastic way to experience the highlights of the Mediterranean and the Balkan coast in comfort. Your trip starts with a flight from Dublin and includes an initial night in a central Athens hotel, giving you the perfect opportunity to settle into the Greek capital before your voyage begins. Once you board the 5-star Scarlet Lady, you will find a ship designed for relaxation and modern style, offering a straightforward and high-quality environment for mature travellers. As a Virgin Cruise Adriatic experience, this itinerary focus on delivering great value by including essentials like all dining, soft drinks, and onboard wifi in the upfront price.

The itinerary is thoughtfully organised to showcase the best of the region. A major highlight is Dubrovnik, where you can walk the ancient fortifications or take a cable car for a bird’s-eye view of the red-tiled roofs and shimmering sea. In Montenegro, the town of Kotor offers a more intimate feel, with its narrow streets and mountain backdrop providing a truly atmospheric setting. You will also visit Sarande, a rising star of the Albanian coast known for its clear waters, and the iconic Greek island of Mykonos, famous for its historic windmills and nearby archaeological treasures.

Onboard the ship, the dining experience is a particular standout. There are over twenty eateries to choose from, ranging from casual grills to more formal settings, all of which are included on a full-board basis. This means you can enjoy world-class cuisine without worrying about a large bill at the end of your stay. The entertainment is equally impressive, with a variety of day and evening shows tailored for an adult audience. This is a restorative and well-paced Escorted Tour on the water, ideal for those who want to see several countries in one trip without the hassle of constant packing and unpacking.
