Here is our Virgin Voyages Irresistible Med Review from sailing onboard Valiant Lady in October 2022. We sailed on Valiant Lady three times in 2022, and have sailed both the Irresistible Med and French Daze & Ibiza nights itineraries.
Both offer fantastic med sailing, but each has a slightly different vibe. Irresistible Med takes in more of the Italian side of the Med, but also includes a fantastic overnight in Ibiza.
We share our boarding experience, dining tips, what we did in each port, and what we thought of the onboard entertainment.

Our second day onboard Valiant Lady on the Irresistible Med itinarary was equally as alcohol-fuelled and amazing. Today we arrived in Toulon, and I awoke early with what I call my “I’m on a cruise” excitement. However, I think I’d have preferred not to be awake before 6 am… Sunrise in the Hammock https://youtu.be/32qDtsL5_GA I took the early wake-up call…
