Virgin Voyages presents an opportunity for remote workers to embark on a month-long cruise around the Mediterranean this summer, priced at less than GBP 8000 with double occupancy (GBP 4K pp).
Leaving roundtrip from Barcelona Spain, the adults-only cruise line will visit 9 Mediterranean ports in Spain, France, and Italy (twice), with destinations encompassing Ibiza, Cannes, Marseille, Palma de Mallorca, and Valencia.
Instead of working from their usual abode, passengers are invited to partake in the Scarlet Summer Season Pass, which allows them to "work from helm" aboard the Scarlet Lady. The ship boasts the fastest at-sea internet connection in the industry, enabling guests to draw inspiration from Europe's picturesque havens.
Onboard the Scarlet Lady, passengers have the freedom to work from any area of the ship, including outdoor lounges.
In addition to premium Wi-Fi, the pass includes group fitness classes such as yoga, spin, and HIIT, daily tea/coffee credits, wash and fold laundry service, access to the ship's "members only" sundeck, gratuities, and a complimentary bottle of fizz upon boarding.
Featuring 20 restaurants, including a Korean BBQ and a vegetarian eatery, guests have access to all dining options included in the fare, with some exceptions for premium dishes and "dinner shows".
Accommodations consist of mid-tier Sea Terrace cabins, complete with balconies equipped with hammocks, rainfall showers, and electric blinds.
Departure dates are available in the first or second weeks of June, July, August, and September.
Initially offering only 10 passes per month, the award-winning cruise line is reportedly considering making more passes available due to high demand.
The total price for 4 weeks is US$9990 (GBP7785) based on double occupancy.
