Creator's Key Takeaways

We're officially at St. John's International and we're kicking things off in the Maple Leaf Lounge.

I have a fancy pod. Chris is over there. There's a stranger over there, but there's a nice little divider.

I actually found a couple little pieces of metal in mine.

Melanie, on the other hand, locked out. She had the beef and said it was excellent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Air Canada e-upgrade points to bid for business class seats.
Arrive early at the lounge to enjoy the spread and relax before boarding.

YouTube Video Description

We’re officially kicking off our Virgin Voyages Transatlantic Cruise Series aboard Resilient Lady! In this first episode, we take you along as we travel from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Barcelona, Spain — starting with an Air Canada Business Class flight across the Atlantic. This journey begins at St. John’s International Airport, continues with a short hop to Toronto, and then jumps to an overnight flight to Barcelona in lie-flat seats. We’ll show you the lounges, the food, the cabin, the service, and our honest experience flying Air Canada Signature Class before boarding Resilient Lady for a 14-night adventure. Over the next few episodes, we’ll explore Barcelona, tour our beautiful Airbnb, and then take you day-by-day through our Transatlantic cruise with stops in Valencia, Casablanca, and Las Palmas — followed by 8 straight sea days!
