Wine, Waves & Wild Nights in Northern Europe

Europe has the winning trait of being versatile, with every country and even every city offering something truly singular. And our 7 Days in Amsterdam, Bruges & Bordeaux cruise with Virgin Voyages from September 5-12, 2025, will take you to four Northern European countries over just seven eventful days. After embarking from Portsmouth, England—the birthplace of Charles Dickens—we’ll sail to Amsterdam for a (sure to be eventful) overnight stay. Next, it'll be on to Bruges, Belgium—known as the "Venice of the North," famed for enchanting canals, medieval charm, world-class chocolate, and historic squares. We’ll finish our cruise with a touch of French flair in Bordeaux, the wine capital of France.

As part of our gay group trip, we’ll give you the full Two Bad Tourists VIP treatment through lavish cocktail parties, group dinners, private events, shore excursions, and more. There’s never a dull moment aboard a Virgin Voyages vessel, so you can also expect cutting-edge entertainment and themed parties made to paint the night red—literally, in the case of Scarlet Night!

Never a Lone Wolf in the Two Bad Tourist’s Pack

Worried about coming alone? You needn’t be—a large portion of our guests are solo travelers, too, and you won’t be alone for long. After you're all settled into your sumptuous cabins, we’ll kick off the cruise with our own private cocktail party as the boat pulls out to sea. From there, we’ll host our own private events every day and shore excursions when we’re at port—although you are also free to book your own with Virgin Voyages. Every night, you’ll be part of group dinners rotating around all the ship’s restaurants, ranging from a steakhouse to a Mexican. What’s more, there’s always one of our crew present at every event aboard.

Our private WhatsApp group will keep you updated on what’s going on, where, and with whom—whether that be drag queen bingo, a pub quiz, or a late-night party in The Manor, the ship’s nightclub. Even before our cruises begin, we open a separate WhatsApp group especially for our guests, giving you the chance to chat with your fellow shipmates before even beginning your voyage.

Solo Insider Cabins will certainly sell out soon and this price is the lowest we’ve seen. Don’t have the full amount upfront? We’ve got you there too! You only need to put down 20%, and you can even apply for monthly payments. We believe cruising should be for everyone, regardless of your budget.
