‘The Bachelorette’ is traveling so much this season and the filming locations are stunning
After a few really dark pandemic seasons spent trapped in a compound, the bachelorette is finally back to doing what he does best: traveling the world to different filming locations and making everyone vaguely uncomfortable in the process! But—intrigue—this season is still going to look a little different. Whereas Gaby Windey and Rachel Rechia will visit the hometowns of their finalists and set off on a great European adventure, they will do so aboard a cruise ship. Meaning cast and crew are still quite bubbling except for their day trips to various port towns.
Here’s everything we know about Gabby and Rachel’s whereabouts thanks to a combination of Reality Steve’s ever-reliable detectives and spoilers. And of course, the season started in…
Single Mansion…where else?!
I mean, it’s tradition! the bachelorette spends the first few episodes of the season wandering the hallowed and emotionally traumatized halls of single mansionwhich is called Villa de la Vina in real life and is available for rent on Airbnb.
Fun fact: A real family lives in the mansion, and according to the Today To displaythey repack twice a year so The single person and the bachelorette can film for 42 days at a time. And once Gabby and Rachel are done with their Bachelor Mansion stint, they’ll be heading to…
A cruise ship around Europe
Elegant! Nick Viall was the first to reveal that this season will largely take place on a cruise ship, saying, “I heard it was going to be very different. And it’s going to have a Heaven feel it. It’s on a cruise ship – part of it. I asked people, because it looks like the producers think it’s going to be really interesting but very different.
As well as floating at sea, the Virgin Voyages ship (aptly called the Valiant Lady) will presumably dock for various shore-based adventures. Their exact the route is not known, but Reality Steve reports that they will make pit stops in Paris, Belgium and Amsterdam. You can see much of their European adventure content in this trailer from ABC:
