We’re officially kicking off our Virgin Voyages Transatlantic Cruise Series aboard Resilient Lady! In this first episode, we take you along as we travel from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Barcelona, Spain — starting with an Air Canada Business Class flight across the Atlantic.
This journey begins at St. John’s International Airport, continues with a short hop to Toronto, and then jumps to an overnight flight to Barcelona in lie-flat seats. We’ll show you the lounges, the food, the cabin, the service, and our honest experience flying Air Canada Signature Class before boarding Resilient Lady for a 14-night adventure.
Over the next few episodes, we’ll explore Barcelona, tour our beautiful Airbnb, and then take you day-by-day through our Transatlantic cruise with stops in Valencia, Casablanca, and Las Palmas — followed by 8 straight sea days!
This is going to be an incredible series — and it all starts right here.
