Sailing snapshot

This 7-night ocean sailing runs from Athens (Piraeus), Greece to Barcelona, Spain and lists 6 distinct stops. It is a hosted LGBTQ+ group within a regular sailing, so the group experience and wider ship run side by side.

Why this sailing stands out

A hosted gay group aboard a regular, adults-only Virgin Voyages sailing from Athens to Barcelona. Two Bad Tourists advertises group dinners, cocktail hours, shore excursions, daily activities, a WhatsApp group, and hosted support—while the ship remains shared with other Virgin guests.

  • Seven nights from Athens to Barcelona aboard Scarlet Lady.
  • Calls at Mykonos, Catania, the Amalfi Coast (Salerno), and Civitavecchia for Rome.
  • Virgin Voyages fare includes Wi-Fi, standard dining, essential drinks, entertainment, and gratuities; the group program and its separate fee add the hosted social layer.
