The Experience
There are cruises, and then there is this. Sailing May 30 – June 6, 2027, MOOD Travel Club and Black Cruisers Club are taking the group to the Mediterranean — and not just anywhere in the Mediterranean. The French Riviera. The coast of Provence. Valencia in bloom. And an overnight in Ibiza, where the island does not sleep and neither will you. This is the summer sailing that your passport has been waiting for.
The Ports: What Awaits You
Barcelona, Spain
Your embarkation city and one of Europe’s most electric urban destinations. Arrive early to explore Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, and Barcelona’s world-famous tapas bars. Give yourself at least two full days before boarding.
Cannes, France
The glamour capital of the Côte d’Azur. Home of the Cannes Film Festival, La Croisette boulevard, crystal Mediterranean water, and the kind of sun-drenched luxury that makes you rethink your entire life. This is the French Riviera at its most iconic.
Provence, France
The softer, more sensory side of the South of France. Lavender fields, Roman ruins, rose wine country, local markets bursting with color and scent, and the historic charm of cities like Toulon, Marseille, and Cassis.
Valencia, Spain
Spain’s third city and one of its most underrated. The birthplace of paella, home to the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, historic silk exchange buildings, and beautiful beaches. Valencia in late spring is absolutely stunning.
Ibiza, Spain (Overnight)
The crown jewel of this itinerary. An overnight stay in Ibiza means you get both the legendary nightlife AND the stunning daytime beauty of this Balearic island — white-washed villages, crystal coves, local Ibizan cuisine, and the most spectacular sunsets in Europe. This is the port day that people talk about for years.

As of the date of this sailing, US citizens do not require a visa for short stays in France and Spain (Schengen Area). However, the EU's ETIAS travel authorization system may be in effect by 2027 — a simple online pre-registration similar to the US ESTA. MOOD will provide updated entry requirement guidance to all signed-up travelers well in advance of the sailing date. Always verify current requirements with your government's travel advisory.
Absolutely — at minimum one full day early, ideally two. Barcelona is one of the great cities of the world and deserves real time. MOOD VIP package information (including recommended Barcelona hotels and pre-cruise meetup details) will be sent to your inbox after you complete sign-up.
An overnight port call is one of Virgin Voyages' most special experiences. Rather than a typical day in port, you stay docked overnight and have the full evening — and the next morning — to experience Ibiza. This means evening dinners in the old town, access to world-class clubs and beach bars, and a sunrise in Ibiza before sailing. Your MOOD advisor will share a curated Ibiza guide after booking.
Signing up is free and commits you to nothing. You enter your name and email on this page and receive our exclusive Virgin Voyages group booking link via email. You then use that link to book your cabin and deposit directly through Virgin Voyages. No money is collected during sign-up.
Yes. Virgin Voyages is strictly 18+ with absolutely no exceptions. No children can board under any circumstances. This creates an elevated, grown-and-sexy atmosphere that is exactly the vibe MOOD Travel Club and Black Cruisers Club are built for.
Absolutely — solo travelers are celebrated in the MOOD community. Single-occupancy cabin options are available, and the entire trip is designed to connect you with like-minded travelers. Many MOOD solo travelers leave with friendships and travel partners for life.
Your fare includes all dining at 20+ onboard restaurants (no extra charges, no fixed dining times, no buffet), Wi-Fi, group fitness classes, entertainment shows, and your MOOD group perks including up to $300 Bar Tab credit per cabin. Tips and gratuities are NOT included in the base fare — they are a separate cost. However, Virgin Voyages offers a discounted gratuity package that can be added at the time of booking, and we strongly recommend locking it in early at the lower rate. Other out-of-pocket costs include alcohol beyond your Bar Tab credit, spa treatments, shore excursions, and specialty add-ons.
No — tips and gratuities are NOT included in the Virgin Voyages base cruise fare. This is an important distinction. Virgin Voyages does offer a discounted crew gratuity package that you can purchase at the time of booking before you sail. Adding gratuities early locks in the lower pre-sailing rate, which is better value than paying onboard. MOOD Travel Club strongly recommends adding the gratuity package when you book your deposit. Your Pre-Voyage email will include instructions on how to do this.
The Bar Tab credit — up to $300 per cabin — is a group perk applied when you book through our exclusive MOOD group link. It covers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages ordered throughout the ship and is loaded onto your Virgin Voyages wristband (your onboard ID, cabin key, and payment device). Unused Bar Tab credit does not carry over.
Yes — highly recommended. Download the Virgin Voyages app before sailing and make dining reservations as soon as your booking is confirmed. Popular venues like Gunbae (Korean BBQ) and The Wake book up quickly. MOOD coordinates group dining where available, but personal reservations are smart backup.
