Hi all! I am an avid cruiser but have mainly done them in the Caribbean. We would love to do one in Europe in 2025. For anyone that has done a European itinerary with Virgin, I would love to hear or thoughts or let me know which of the following I was looking at would be the best.
Note: I liked the idea of having a different start and end port so we could bookend the trip with an extra day or two in those cities, but that is not a mandatory consideration factor.
If you did an itinerary I am not considering and think it is superior or if there are any ports you would avoid, let me know.
