Why Beyond Travel chose it

Let the journey change the scenery.

Beyond the Ordinary starts with the decision to arrive somewhere different. Barcelona opens the journey, Casablanca changes its texture, and an overnight in Lisbon lets the city have an evening of your time. La Coruña and Cherbourg lead you north before Amsterdam becomes the final chapter. We chose these ten nights for travelers who like contrast: different streets, different flavors, and the satisfaction of watching one part of the world give way to another.

  • Cities and culture
  • A longer journey
  • Different start and finish

Virgin Voyages, chosen by Beyond Travel

The ship is part
of the reason to go.

Long dinners. A show you talk about afterward. A slow morning that turns into an afternoon by the pool. We chose Virgin Voyages for its adults-only atmosphere, distinctive spaces, and freedom to spend the day your way.

With so much already in your fare, there is room to follow your appetite and your mood. Beyond Travel brings the personal planning that makes it all fit.

Central Sea Terrace

That horizon won’t gaze at itself

Get ready at the glam area, rinse off in the rain shower, then step outside for a hammock break with the sea in front of you. Central Sea Terrace adds a location in the middle portion of the ship, a convenient base for days spent moving between its restaurants, decks, and venues.

Sea Terrace category range: 185–225 sq ft

  • Central location on the ship
  • Private terrace with a hammock in most cabins
  • Roomy Rainshower
  • Glam area
  • Mood lighting
  • Large flat-screen HDTV

Why Beyond Travel prefers it

The cabin we would choose for the moments between everything else.

A little of the sea, all to yourself

Morning coffee in the fresh air. A hammock break before dinner. With a private terrace, quiet time becomes part of the holiday. Insider keeps the fare lower, but cannot give you that outdoor space or horizon view.

A central place to come back to

A midship location puts you between venues toward the front and back, making the cabin a useful base when you come and go throughout the day. Your exact deck and room affect walking distances.

The balance that matters to us

Central Sea Terrace combines the outdoor space we love with a convenient position. XL is the better choice when a larger bathroom is your priority. We’ll help match the room to how you like to travel.

Most Sea Terraces have a hammock. Beyond Travel checks the specific layout when helping you choose your cabin.

XL Sea Terrace

$6,8002 sailors · totalView details

The Sea Terrace experience with a larger bathroom and more room to get ready. Choose XL when bathroom space matters to you, while keeping the sea views, private terrace, and easy indoor-outdoor feel.

XL Sea Terrace

The horizon, with a little more room

The Sea Terrace experience with a larger bathroom and more room to get ready. Choose XL when bathroom space matters to you, while keeping the sea views, private terrace, and easy indoor-outdoor feel.

  • Larger bathroom than Central Sea Terrace

Practical questions (FAQs)

This sailing starts in Barcelona and finishes in Amsterdam. We’ll help coordinate flights and any stays around both cities.

Casablanca adds a Moroccan port day between Spain and Portugal. We can help arrange transport and sightseeing that fit the port day.

Destination & LGBTQ+ guidance

Morocco’s laws and customs differ from those at the European stops. Same-sex sexual activity is illegal, and public displays of affection can carry legal risks.

Share any concerns with Beyond Travel. We’ll help you consider the destination guidance and plan time ashore with care.

We’ll help you work through documents, flights, transfers, and insurance for your itinerary. These arrangements are priced separately from your sailing.
