With the next few years expected to deliver some of the most awe-inspiring auroras, solar eclipses, constellations and comets, Virgin Voyages is introducing its first ever Eclipse Voyages as part of its newest series: the Marvelous Voyages.
Eclipse Voyages
The Eclipse Voyages are set for August 2026, giving guests the opportunity to cruise towards the path of totality. While these epic 12- and 15-night itineraries are incredible in their own right – stops include Dublin, Glasgow and Reykjavik aboard Valiant Lady, and Amalfi Coast, Mallorca and Cannes on Scarlet Lady – Virgin Voyages is upping the ante with special on-board events and appearances to mark the spirit of the trip.
Esteemed space explorers and scientists will share the magic of the cosmos. Galactic grandstands outfitted with telescopes and binoculars will transform the ship’s upper decks into observation viewing spaces with astronomers on standby. New moon ceremonies, starry symphonies and cosmic culinary creations – like Milky Way milkshakes – round out the special programming. Guests will also snag a pair of solar eclipse shades and a commemorative guide as a fun takeaway.
Marvelous Voyages
In addition to the adventurer’s dreamstate that are the Eclipse Voyages, the brand’s new collection of Marvelous Voyages include six other sailings between March and August 2026, ranging from eight to 16 nights. Spanning Iceland to Istanbul, the British Isles to The Baltics, the Marvelous Voyages promise wonder and excitement, all with the comforts Virgin’s Sailors love. Twelve new ports are on the docket with highlights that include Salerno (Amalfi Coast, Italy), Edinburgh (Scotland), Stockholm (Sweden), Hamburg (Germany), Oslo (Norway), Tangier (Morocco) and eventually Greenland.
Michelle Bentubo, Chief Operating Officer at Virgin Voyages, said, “We already sail to more than 100 international ports, but our itineraries are ever-evolving based on what our Sailors and travel partners are asking for. We’ve graduated from only offering short Caribbean escapes and weekender voyages to give our Sailors longer itinerary options up to 14 nights at more ports around the world. Our Marvelous Voyages, paired with Brilliant Lady’s epic itineraries across all four corners of the US, just shows the growth and strength of this monumental brand and the choice we are committed to offering.”
