Each “sip, savour and sea it all” ship visit will run for five hours and will allow up to 50 agents to eat dishes prepared in The Galley and take a ship tour. 

The ship visits run on 27 August, 29 August, 3 September, 8 September, 19 September and 29 September. 

The adults-only line said travel agents would “disembark Resilient Lady with a true understanding of Virgin Voyages’ product and its key selling points”. 

Starting on 23 August, the 2,770-passenger ship will operate nine voyages from its UK homeport before it repositions to Greek port Piraeus on 20 October. 

The ship had been due to reposition to Australia but due to tensions in the Red Sea and the wider Middle East region Virgin Voyages decided to cancel sailings earlier this year.

It will instead head to Puerto Rico for a new Caribbean season offering up to 11-night voyages to the likes of Colombia, Dominica and St Maarten.
