Norwegian Gem’s Transatlantic Crossing Is Turning Heads

Mon, 11 May 26 09:00:48 +0000

There’s been a noticeable shift toward longer, slower itineraries lately, and this Norwegian Gem sailing fits perfectly into that mindset.

The 15-day journey begins in Rome (Civitavecchia) before stopping in places like Barcelona, Cádiz, and Ponta Delgada in the Azores on the way to Nassau. It’s the kind of itinerary that mixes well-known cities with destinations many people wouldn’t normally think to visit on the same trip.

Part of the appeal is the pacing itself. In Cádiz, you can spend the day walking through Mercado Central de Abastos, stopping for seafood, local wine, and small cafés tucked between market stalls. In Ponta Delgada, the experience shifts completely with volcanic scenery, coastal roads, and natural hot springs that make the stop feel far removed from a typical European itinerary.

The sea days are also a big part of why this sailing stands out. Instead of constantly packing schedules with excursions and early mornings, there’s ample time to enjoy being on board. Long dinners, ocean views, quieter mornings, and a more relaxed atmosphere become part of the trip rather than just the downtime between destinations.

For those looking for something beyond the usual, this itinerary offers a completely different pace without feeling overly complicated or rushed.

Reach out to us to learn more about Norwegian Gem’s upcoming Transatlantic departures and available offers.

Depending on the resort and length of stay, guests can also receive up to $400 per person, per week in instant savings.

The offer also brings added value for families and solo travellers alike. Children under 4 stay free, while most participating resorts are offering no single supplement, making it easier for more travellers to plan the kind of getaway they actually want without the need for compromise.

What continues to set Club Med apart is the atmosphere surrounding the experience. Mornings that begin slowly near the water. Long lunches that turn into afternoons without plans. Evenings that feel relaxed rather than overproduced. Whether it’s the turquoise coastline of Turks & Caicos or the mountain scenery of Charlevoix, each destination carries its own distinct rhythm.

The offer is available until July 7, 2026, with travel dates running from May 23 through December 18, 2026.

Thu, 23 Apr 26 15:36:32 +0000

From sailing the Rhine through storybook landscapes to exploring the cultural richness of the Danube or discovering Southeast Asia along the Mekong, each journey is thoughtfully designed to balance discovery, comfort and connection.

On board, the experience remains seamless, with regionally inspired dining, attentive service and the welcoming atmosphere that defines an AmaWaterways river cruise.

This is travel for those who want more than just a destination. It is for those who want to understand it.

10 facts you didn't know about Alaska with Virgin

Wed, 22 Apr 26 18:53:21 +0000

Alaska doesn’t whisper. It roars. With glaciers the size of cities, skies that refuse to darken, and wildlife that casually outweighs your car, the great north does everything at full volume. But beyond the postcard peaks and breaching whales, there’s a whole other side to America’s wild north. Let’s peel back the parka and uncover 10 facts you probably didn’t know about Alaska and why it’s even more magical when explored with Virgin Voyages.

It has more coastline than the rest of the US combined

Yes, really. Alaska’s coastline stretches over 33,000 miles when you include its islands. That’s longer than all other US states combined.

Translation? This place was practically made for sailing. Cruising through Alaska isn’t just scenic. It’s strategic. From narrow fjords to glacier-carved bays, many of Alaska’s most dramatic landscapes are best accessed by sea.

With Virgin Voyages’ elevated take on exploration, you’ll glide past those rugged shores in signature style, champagne in hand, binoculars at the ready.

It’s home to 100,000 glaciers

Alaska holds more glaciers than the rest of the inhabited world combined. Some are retreating. Some are advancing. All are jaw-dropping.

Sailing into glacier country is one of those goosebump moments that sticks with you. The electric blue ice. The thunderous crack of calving. The stillness just before a massive shard splashes into the sea.

On a Virgin Voyage through Alaska, you won’t just see glaciers. You’ll feel their scale. From expansive viewing decks to cozy lounges wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, every vantage point is curated for awe.

The sun sometimes doesn’t set

In parts of Alaska during summer, the sun barely dips below the horizon. In places like Utqiaġvik, it doesn’t set at all for more than two months.

That means longer golden hours. More time for wildlife spotting. Late-night deck strolls under a pastel sky that feels like it’s been filtered by nature itself.

On board, that extended daylight pairs perfectly with Virgin’s late-night energy. Sunset cocktails that turn into stargazing sessions. Dinner that drifts into dancing. When the sun refuses to clock out, neither do the memories.

It has the highest peak in North America

Denali towers at 20,310 feet, making it the tallest mountain on the continent. On a clear day, it dominates the skyline with a presence that feels almost mythical.

While Denali National Park sits inland, Alaska’s coastal towns like Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau serve as gateways to towering ranges, forested valleys, and alpine adventures.

Through expertly curated Shore Things, Virgin Voyages connects Sailors to helicopter rides over icefields, wildlife expeditions, and immersive cultural tours that bring the scale of Alaska into sharp, unforgettable focus.

You can witness humpback whales bubble-net feeding

Bubble-net feeding is a rare, coordinated hunting technique where humpback whales swim in a spiral, blowing bubbles to trap fish before lunging upward in unison. It’s part science, part ballet, all breathtaking.

Alaska is one of the best places in the world to witness this behaviour.

From the decks of your Virgin ship, or on a guided whale-watching excursion, you may see these giants breach, slap their tails, or surface in synchronized arcs. It’s the kind of wildlife encounter that turns even the most seasoned traveller into a wide-eyed kid again.

Alaska has more than 3 million lakes

That’s not a typo. Alaska’s landscape is dotted with over three million lakes and countless rivers carving through mountains and tundra.

This abundance of freshwater shapes everything, from salmon runs to bald eagle habitats. It’s why fishing villages thrive and why coastal communities feel so deeply connected to the rhythms of nature.

When you sail with Virgin Voyages, those landscapes become more than scenery. They become stories, shared by local guides, Indigenous communities, and crew members who help you understand the ecosystem behind the epic views.

It was once sold for two cents an acre

In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. At the time, critics called it “Seward’s Folly.” Today, it’s widely regarded as one of the greatest land deals in history.

Gold rushes, oil discoveries, and thriving tourism transformed Alaska into an economic powerhouse. But beyond its resources, its true wealth lies in its wilderness.

Virgin Voyages approaches Alaska with a modern traveller’s mindset. Respect for the environment. Smaller crowds. Thoughtful itineraries that prioritize immersive experiences over checklist tourism.

It’s one of the best places on earth to see the northern lights

From late August through April, the aurora borealis dances across Alaska’s night skies in waves of green, pink, and violet.

While summer sailings focus on long daylight and peak wildlife, shoulder-season voyages increase your chances of spotting the lights, especially as evenings grow darker.

Imagine standing on deck, wrapped in a blanket, watching ribbons of color ripple overhead. It’s not just a bucket list moment. It’s a perspective shift.

It’s bigger than you think. Way bigger.

Alaska is larger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. If it were its own country, it would rank among the largest in the world.

That scale means diversity. Rainforests in the southeast. Arctic tundra in the north. Volcanic islands stretching into the Pacific.

A cruise allows you to experience multiple regions without unpacking more than once. With Virgin Voyages’ adults-only approach, the journey feels refined, relaxed, and refreshingly unhurried. You explore boldly by day, then return to world-class dining, immersive entertainment, and ocean-view serenity by night.

It’s still deeply rooted in Indigenous cultures

Alaska is home to rich Indigenous cultures, including Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Inupiat, Yupik, and many others. Totem poles, storytelling traditions, and art forms carry histories that span thousands of years.

In ports like Ketchikan and Sitka, you’ll encounter living culture, not museum pieces. From heritage centres to locally guided experiences, Alaska invites you to listen, learn, and engage.

Virgin Voyages’ Shore Things are designed to spotlight authentic connections, helping Sailors go beyond surface-level sightseeing and into meaningful discovery.

Why Alaska feels different by sea

Alaska isn’t just a destination. It’s an atmosphere. Crisp air. Pine-scented breezes. The hush of glaciers meeting water. Experiencing it by sea mirrors the spirit of the place itself. Fluid. Expansive. Uncontained.

With Virgin Voyages, that wild beauty pairs with elevated design, chef-driven dining across 20+ eateries, wellness spaces that look out over open water, and entertainment that surprises at every turn. It’s adventure without compromise. Nature without roughing it.

The Last Frontier may be untamed, but your voyage doesn’t have to be.

Ready to meet the wild north?

Alaska is bigger, bolder, and more surprising than most people imagine. From midnight sun to bubble-net feeding whales, it’s a place that redefines scale and stirs something elemental inside you.

And when you explore it with Virgin Voyages, you experience the best of both worlds. Untouched wilderness by day. Elevated, adults-only indulgence by night.

The only question left is when you’re sailing.

Over 90 years of expertise in guided travel
A 95% guest satisfaction rating, reflecting consistently high traveller experiences
Travel styles that blend comfort, storytelling, and seamless organization

Being Irish-owned isn’t just a heritage point — it means access to trusted local partners, insider knowledge, and experiences that reflect Ireland as it truly is. From the guides who share personal stories to the carefully selected routes that showcase the country’s beauty, every detail is shaped by local expertise.

The CIE Tours Inclusive Advantage

One of the reasons travellers return to CIE Tours again and again is the CIE Tours Inclusive Advantage — a clear, guest-first approach that makes travel easier, more transparent, and more enjoyable.

With this approach, most of what matters is included in one up-front price:

Comfortable, well-located hotels
Transportation throughout the journey
Guided sightseeing and iconic attractions
Many meals featuring local flavours

There are no hidden costs and no pressure to purchase optional extras along the way. Instead, travellers can relax, knowing the essentials are already taken care of — allowing them to focus fully on the experience.

The Taste of Ireland holiday reflects this philosophy perfectly, offering exceptional value alongside unforgettable experiences.

An Ideal Introduction: Taste of Ireland

Designed as a “greatest hits” journey, the Taste of Ireland tour is a fast-paced yet carefully balanced holiday that introduces travellers to Ireland’s most celebrated sights and cultural moments.

Over 7 days and 6 nights, the itinerary moves at a comfortable rhythm — combining guided experiences with time to explore independently. From Dublin’s historic streets to the windswept Cliffs of Moher, from medieval castles to traditional music and dance, this journey delivers a true taste of Ireland in every sense.

Day-by-Day Highlights

Day 1: Arrive in Dublin – Independent Discovery

Your holiday begins in Dublin, Ireland’s dynamic capital city. With included vouchers and a hop-on, hop-off bus, you’re free to explore at your own pace. Choose from some of Dublin’s most popular attractions, such as the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery Bow St. Experience, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, or the historic GPO Museum.

Spend the evening discovering the city independently — from cosy pubs to modern restaurants — soaking in Dublin’s lively atmosphere and unmistakable charm.

Day 2: Dublin City Tour & Traditional Irish Evening

Today offers a deeper introduction to Dublin’s story. A guided panoramic tour highlights Trinity College, elegant Georgian neighbourhoods, and modern landmarks along the River Liffey. A visit to the Little Museum of Dublin adds humour and personality, sharing the city’s modern history through a collection of unique artifacts donated by the public.

The evening brings your first group experience — a warm Irish welcome complete with dinner and entertainment at the Merry Ploughboy Pub. Traditional music, step-dancing, and hearty Irish dishes create a festive atmosphere and an unforgettable start to your journey.

Day 3: Blarney Castle & Killarney

Leaving Dublin, travel through Ireland’s lush countryside, stopping to admire the dramatic Rock of Cashel, a hilltop site rich in medieval history. Continue to Blarney Castle, where you can climb the famous stone steps to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone or stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens.

Later, arrive in the lakeside town of Killarney, known for its natural beauty and welcoming spirit. Dinner is included at your hotel this evening, offering time to relax after a full day of exploration.

Day 4: Ring of Kerry, Skellig Experience & Sheepdog Demonstration

This day showcases some of Ireland’s most breathtaking scenery. Travel the famed Ring of Kerry, a scenic drive that winds past mountains, lakes, and rugged Atlantic coastline. Stops along the way provide countless photo opportunities and moments to take in the views.

Visit the Skellig Experience on Valentia Island to learn about Skellig Michael — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and filming location for Star Wars. Later, enjoy a traditional sheepdog demonstration, a fascinating look at rural Irish life and age-old farming traditions.

The evening is free in Killarney, allowing you to explore the town’s pubs, restaurants, and live music at your leisure.

Day 5: Cliffs of Moher & Medieval Castle Banquet

Few sights rival the impact of the Cliffs of Moher. Rising nearly 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, these dramatic cliffs stretch along the western coast, offering sweeping views and a powerful sense of Ireland’s natural beauty.

That evening, step back in time at a medieval-style castle banquet. Enjoy traditional Irish cuisine in a historic setting, accompanied by music and entertainment inspired by Ireland’s past — a truly memorable highlight of the holiday.

Day 6: Galway & Return to Dublin

Travel north to Galway, a lively and artistic city known for colourful streets, street performers, and a strong connection to Irish tradition. Enjoy free time to browse local shops, relax in a café, or experience the city’s vibrant atmosphere.

Later, return to Dublin for your final evening. Whether you choose a quiet dinner or one last night of live music, it’s the perfect way to reflect on your journey through Ireland.

Day 7: Farewell to Ireland

After breakfast, your Taste of Ireland holiday comes to an end. While the journey may be over, the memories — from sweeping landscapes to shared moments — will stay with you long after you return home.
