Virgin Voyages to offer Scandinavia and Baltics itineraries for first time in 2028

Virgin Voyages is set to put its inaugural Scandinavia and Baltics voyages for 2028 on sale in August.

Valiant Lady will homeport from Amsterdam for the first time between July and September as part of the adult-only line’s largest ever European deployment.

The 2,770-passenger ship will operate six sailings between seven and 12 nights, featuring 15 maiden ports.

Highlights include a 12-night Scandinavia and Stockholm Overnight on July 19, a seven-night Norwegian Fjords cruise on July 31 and an 11-night Arctic Circle and Norwegian Fjords on August 14.

Virgin Voyages will offer a package Summer Season Pass comprising all sailings departing between July 19 and August 14, which includes four back-to-back sailings totalling 37 nights.

The package includes a Central Sea Terrace cabin for two passengers, $15 per passenger in onboard drinks credits, a complimentary shore excursion, upgrade Wi-Fi, priority boarding, among other inclusions.

The Summer Season Pass requires double occupancy and full payment is usually required at the time of booking, although a $100 refundable deposit can be used to hold the cabin.

Bookings for the new sailings will open for the trade on August 13 at 5am with an incentive running until September 30 offering agents the chance to win a place on a voyage from the collection.

New bookings must be logged on firstmateloot.co.uk and agents will also receive bonus £10 rewards per booking.

UK director of sales SJ Walker said: “After the success we have seen from Alaska, this is the natural next step for us.

“The regional and international connections to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport opens things up from a global perspective and is a key development area for us.”
