The upcoming season of ABC’s “The Bachelorette” was filmed aboard Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady during a Mediterranean cruise.<\/p>\n
The first episode airs on Monday, Aug. 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Virgin Voyages says it will take bachelorettes Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey “on the adventure of a lifetime.” The women will stay in the ship’s two Massive Suites.<\/p>\n
“Episodes will feature romantic and adventurous dates, all with some of the Mediterranean’s most alluring backdrops,” the cruise line said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Virgin Voyages said ship spaces will be featured prominently on the show. The Manor nightclub “makes a special appearance during one of the season’s most competitive dates, while Redemption Spa’s relaxing thermal suite and mud room doubles as a merman hideaway and hangout for the guys,” Virgin Voyages said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When not on dates, the bachelors may be seen enjoying the outdoor daybeds of The Dock, playing air hockey at The Social Club and kicking back at the Loose Cannon bar.<\/p>\n
