Virgin Voyages are still relatively new and I wanted to see what it was really like to cruise with them. Join me as I board the Valiant Lady in Barcelona for the Irresistible Mediterranean cruise and my first experience of Virgin Voyages.

I show you what a typical cruise is like with Virgin, from the facilities onboard to the food, a quick tour of my cabin and show you some of the entertainment. I even look at the atmosphere onboard and the range of passengers, or sailors as Virgin calls them.

Onboard I found there was plenty to do and the facilities were very nice, I especially liked the gym which was huge for a cruise ship. The ship had a pretty relaxed atmosphere and the range of passengers was very mixed. I thought it may be more younger people as this is who Virgin seem to be targeting but the age group in reality was everyone from 18-70+, i'd say the average age was probable around 40 though. There was a sizeable portion of LGBT people onboard too.

I journeyed to Toulon in France, La Spezia in Italy, the French island of Corsica as well as Ibiza in Spain. This was part of the Irresistible Med cruise which is one of the cruises operated by Virgin in the Western Mediterranean.
