Virgin Voyages is Heading North: New Scandinavia & Baltic Sailings for Summer 2028!
Ahoy, Sailors! If you thought Virgin Voyages couldn't possibly get any cooler, you might want to grab a jacket. We at The Cruise Boys® are beyond thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, Virgin’s adults-only vibes are heading to Scandinavia and the Baltics in Summer 2028!
That’s right—no kids, no buffets, and now, no holding back on exploring some of the most breathtaking northern destinations in the world. Valiant Lady will be trading the Mediterranean sun for the Midnight Sun, and she is mapping out an entirely new frontier for the fleet.
The Fast Facts
Virgin isn't just adding a couple of ports to their roster; they are completely rewriting the map.
The Ship: Valiant Lady
The Homeport: Amsterdam
The Season: July 9 – September 4, 2028
The Milestone: 15 brand-new maiden ports for the fleet!
The Itineraries
Whether you want to sip champagne while cruising through majestic Norwegian fjords or party during a late-night stay in Copenhagen, this lineup has you covered. The season consists of six sailings—four brand-new Marvelous Voyages and two epic Western Europe Crossings to get the ship there and back.
1. Scandinavia & Stockholm Overnight (12 Nights)
July 19 – 31, 2028 The grand tour! You'll hit five countries and six ports, including Oslo, Copenhagen, and a stop in Germany with direct access to Berlin. The highlight? An overnight stay in Stockholm, giving you a gorgeous golden-hour sail-in through the archipelago and plenty of time to explore the city properly.
2. Norwegian Fjords (7 Nights)
July 31 – August 7, 2028 If you want raw, uncrowded natural beauty, this is the one. Skipping the massive capital cities, this itinerary dives deep into the majestic fjords. You'll visit spots like Molde and Flåm, featuring some of the most dramatically beautiful coastlines on earth.
3. Scandinavia & Hamburg (7 Nights)
August 7 – 14, 2028 Three major cities, zero filler. You'll get a full day in Oslo, a late stay in Copenhagen (hello, Tivoli Gardens at night!), and a nearly midnight departure out of Hamburg so you can actually experience its legendary nightlife.
4. Arctic Circle & Norwegian Fjords (11 Nights)
August 14 – 25, 2028 The absolute marquee sailing of the season! Valiant Lady is sailing so far north that she'll actually cross the Arctic Circle. Expect a massive midnight sun deck party under 24-hour daylight and an exclusive onboard Arctic Circle Crossing Ceremony. You’ll also hit Tromsø and Honningsvåg, the gateway to Europe's northernmost point.
The Western Europe Crossings (10 Nights)
Want to be on board as Valiant Lady makes her way to or from Amsterdam? The two 10-night bookend sailings between Barcelona and Amsterdam are port-intensive beauties featuring stops in Morocco, Spain, France, and an overnight stay in Lisbon.
