Virgin Voyages to Debut Scandinavia and Baltic Cruises in 2028

Virgin Voyages will expand into Northern Europe in 2028, with Valiant Lady sailing from Amsterdam for the cruise line’s first-ever Scandinavia and Baltic season.

The new deployment will feature six itineraries, each including at least one maiden port call, and will culminate in a voyage that crosses the Arctic Circle, the company announced.

Virgin Voyages also noted the strong demand for its existing itineraries, revealing that its 2026 Mediterranean season has sold out, along with its inaugural Alaska season.

The Northern Europe program will include four in-depth itineraries around Scandinavia and the Baltic, as well as two open-jaw sailings operating between Barcelona and Amsterdam.

“One of the things that’s most exciting about seeing more Sailors come back to us year after year is that it gives us the confidence to keep expanding into new parts of the world,” said Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages. “We’ve become the go-to brand for anyone traveling without kids. And now, Northern Europe felt like the right next step. We’ve built these voyages around the kinds of experiences that make people fall in love with a destination, from the fjords and Baltic capitals to sailing beneath the midnight sun.”

Nathan Rosenberg, Virgin Voyages’ Chief Brand Experience, Marketing and Momentum Officer, added: “We have so much love for our Mediterranean & Alaskan experiences we can’t wait to show off how Virgin Voyages will celebrate this new part of the map we have unlocked.”

“The fjords called for something calmer. The Baltic cities called for something later. The Arctic Circle called for something we’d never staged before and it will be epic. Crafted for our sailors but inspired by the new places we are headed.”
