Not Just Travel with Ros Baker

05/09/2026

I’ll be honest, I think there are plenty of people who love the idea of travelling and waking up somewhere new 🌍✈️ but have never quite seen themselves as “cruise people”.

Maybe traditional cruising just doesn’t appeal. The thought of formal nights, fixed dining times and a more traditional cruise atmosphere might not be your thing and that’s completely fair.

But Virgin Voyages does things differently. 🚢

Adults-only, stylish spaces, incredible dining with the flexibility to eat when and where you choose, and no formal nights in sight. It feels like cruising has been given a completely different personality.

And that’s exactly why I think Virgin Voyages could appeal to people who may never have considered a cruise holiday before. 👀

I’ve put together a guide giving you a closer look at what you can expect on board, what makes Virgin different and, most importantly, whether it could suit your own travel style.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day onboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Borealis in Southampton, exploring everything this beautiful ship has to offer.

✨ A truly unforgettable moment in Milan 🇮🇹

One of the highlights of my recent trip was a visit to the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie to see Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic masterpiece, The Last Supper.

I arranged this experience as soon as my trip was booked, as tickets are very limited. Only a set number of visitors are allowed each day, and they often sell out months in advance, so securing your place early is definitely recommended.

The visit was exceptionally well organised, with timed entry and a carefully managed experience that allowed me to really appreciate the significance of what I was seeing. Standing in front of such a famous work of art one that has fascinated people for centuries was quite something.

Seeing The Last Supper with my own eyes was a very special travel moment and one that will stay with me long after my visit. It’s a perfect reminder that some of the most memorable experiences are the ones that need a little planning ahead. ✨

Orlando’s first 'villa hotel', Villatel Orlando Resort, has opened its doors. So if you like the idea of everyone having their own space, but with the amenities of a big resort or hotel – head this way, as we lift the lid on what’s in store… 🏘️👇

🏡 Think luxury villas set on a 77-acre site with hotel style facilities so you get the best of both worlds! Home comforts and stylish living spaces with exceptional amenities like waterpark, bar, sports courts and a gym

📍 Location wise, it doesn't get much better. The resort is on International Drive, the hub of activity in Orlando, just 10 minutes drive from thrilling theme parks and within super easy reach of restaurants, shops and other attractions

🛏️ From two to nine bedrooms sleeping up to 18 people, there's a villa option for everyone - great news for smaller families who often feel that they have to opt for a hotel but would prefer a bit more space

💦 Every villa comes with a private pool as standard, and select homes boast themed rooms for kids, home cinemas and even games rooms!

🚍 The resort runs a free shuttle to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort so you can avoid any taxi or parking costs, or even skip car hire altogether saving you some extra cash.
