A City at Sea: Inside the Virgin Voyages Experience
Immersive spaces, curated meals, rich destinations, and a floating city filled with possibility... Sometimes travel reminds us how good it feels to be taken care of. In this episode, Daniel follows content creator Cynthia Andrew aboard Virgin Voyages, where a solo cruise became an unexpected reset. From cozy corners and quiet sea days... to live music, thoughtful dining experiences, and spontaneous connection with others, Cynthia basks in all of the luxury and fun that Virgin Voyages has to offer, and shares the many reasons cruise skeptics are missing out. Through her island stops in the Caribbean, locally guided excursions, and moments of stillness under open ocean skies, Cynthia maintains a balance between festivity and calm, and reconnects with the part of herself she’d been craving.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
