After a quick flight from London to Barcelona, it was anchors aweigh as they boarded Virgin Voyages for a Mediterranean journey packed with fun, food, and fabulous destinations. First stop? The Galley—because priorities. And yes, the salad bar there really is next-level.

Day 2: Sea Day Bliss Nothing beats the first full day at sea! The team started their morning with a guided meditation (zen achieved), followed by breakfast and a bit of ship exploring. Brunch was at Razzle Dazzle—a vibrant, flavor-packed spot full of surprises. Afternoons were spent shopping, reading on the balcony, and trying their luck at the casino. Dinner at Gunbae was a hit, complete with sizzling Korean BBQ and a hilarious drinking game. Cheers to making the most of sea days!

Day 3: Sun, Sangria & the Spirit of Cádiz In the ancient port city of Cádiz—one of the oldest cities in Western Europe—the team hopped on a hop-on, hop-off bus to scope out the coastal views and historic landmarks. After jumping off near the iconic cathedral, they explored a charming local art market, picked up handmade souvenirs, and then indulged in sangria and tapas at a sunny plaza café. Bonus? Friendly local cats adding to the charm.

Day 4: Casablanca, Morocco – Where History Meets Heartbeat Casablanca dazzled the team with its mix of modern energy and timeless beauty. A private tour took them to the stunning Hassan II Mosque, the French-Moroccan charm of Quartier Habous, and the bustling Old Medina. They visited serene churches, busy markets, and capped the day with mint tea seaside in Ain Diab. Every moment told a story, and every story deepened their love for this unforgettable city.

Day 5: Valencia Vibes Next stop: Valencia! A city where gothic architecture meets sunny beaches and modern flair. The team strolled the city center, shopped local boutiques, sipped on cool drinks, and treated themselves to gelato (when in Spain...). As the birthplace of paella and home to Europe’s largest fresh market, Valencia delivered culture, flavor, and serious travel inspo.
