Two eight-night itineraries

From Piraeus, Resilient Lady will be deployed on two eight-night itineraries: 'Greek Island Glow' (Santorini, Rhodes, Bodrum, Mykonos) and 'Adriatic Sea and Greek Gems' (Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu).

And then Down Under

After its inaugural Mediterranean season, on Oct. 22 Resilient Lady will depart Piraeus on a 44-night repositioning voyage to Sydney, Australia. This will show off the brand at new destinations in Egypt as well as Dubai, Bali, Mumbai, Phuket and Singapore.

Celebrations are planned for Resilient Lady's arrival in Sydney on Dec. 4, heralding Virgin Voyages' first Australia/New Zealand season.
