THE DECK

Ponte VIP: chaise longues, privacy and a panorama

The Virginia’s Ponte VIP on the third deck reserves 50 individual chaise longues in an adults‑only area for an intimate, tranquil vantage over the archipelago, with a dedicated hostess attending guests.

THE ROUTE

Secret bays and the Piscine Naturali

The itinerary favours less crowded anchorages: a first swim at Cala dell’Amore on Isola di Spargi, then extended time at the turquoise Piscine Naturali between Razzoli, Santa Maria and Budelli — with an optional short gommone ride to reach tighter, more sheltered spots.

THE SERVICE

Refined comforts, food options and eco-minded operation

Onboard comforts include two bars and a pizzeria with vegan and gluten‑free options, lifejackets and floating boards for swimmers, and an operational approach that avoids direct landings to protect island ecosystems.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day unfolds slowly from the sheltered serenity of the VIP deck: short transfers between wide blue reaches and sheltered coves, timed swims and snorkels in crystalline water, and an unhurried close to the day with either a stroll through La Maddalena’s historic centre or a final gommone exploration of Caprera.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this experience suits—and who should reconsider.

1
Couples and romance seekersWell suited: an adults‑only VIP area, reserved chaise longues and a quiet atmosphere make this a strong choice for couples seeking privacy and panoramic views.
2
Luxury and comfort travelersA match for travelers who prioritise onboard service, dedicated hostess attention and refined, relaxed cruising rather than active expeditionism.
3
Non‑swimmers and cautious water usersPossible fit: lifejackets and floating aids are provided, so non‑swimmers can participate, but the trip is not recommended for those with a strong fear of deep water.
4
People with limited mobility or certain medical conditionsNot a good fit: the excursion is not accessible for guests with mobility impairments or wheelchair users; pregnant guests should contact customer service to confirm safety based on conditions.
