So confused by these huge price hikes.
We had been waiting for VV to release their summer 2025 prices, had my eye on a 10-11 day European sailing in September. VV charging £11K+ for their entry-level suite. DH joked that we could get a premium line for less than that. So I checked. The first two I looked at - Explora and Oceania - had very similar 11- and 12-night itineraries also in September, similar cabin types, both £1-£1.5K cheaper than VV.
We had never considered a smaller, premium ship before now, so I guess I should thank VV for that.
But I am sad that so many guests who had tried - and loved - Virgin are now priced-out.
