Have you sailed on MSC Virtuosa? She was the first Have you sailed on MSC Virtuosa? She was the first cruise ship to sail from the UK when cruising restarted on the 20th May 2021 - and we were lucky enough to be onboard, they only allowed 1000 passengers! It’s also where we hosted our very first group cruise - and we think we might’ve been the first UK-based vloggers to do one at the time!

Wow! We never expected our group cruise to sell ou Wow! We never expected our group cruise to sell out so quickly! A huge thank you to everyone who has booked to join our Christmas Markets cruise in 2026! 🎄 It’s a bit of a wait, but we just know it’s going to be worth it. We’re so excited to spend a week cruising with both familiar faces and new group cruise guests - it’s going to be a fabulous sailing! We decided to limit the number of group spaces to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. While the cruise itself still has capacity, only those booked as part of our group will be able to take part in the exclusive events and activities. We’ll be in touch in the next couple of days with details on how to access the dedicated group cruise Facebook page, so keep an eye out for an email from us. And finally, a big thank you to the fantastic team at Travel Village who’ve been looking after all your bookings - and a special shoutout to those working hard behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly. 🎅🏼 Roll on Cruisemas! 🎁🚢🎄
