Virgin Voyages Announces New Cruise Ship "Brilliant Lady

Virgin Voyages has announced its fourth cruise ship named "Brilliant Lady". Scheduled to set sail in September 2025, this ship will offer new routes to well-known ports in North America, such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Seattle.

The first season of "Brilliant Lady" will include routes from New York to Bermuda and Canada, from Los Angeles to Mexico, from Miami to the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), and from Seattle to Alaska. The cruises are planned to last from five to fourteen nights.

"Brilliant Lady" will include many of Virgin Voyages' design elements, such as red balcony hammocks and over 20 restaurants. The new liner will be adapted to navigate the Panama Canal and travel to Alaska.

Among the new routes is a 16-day cruise through the Panama Canal from Miami to Los Angeles in March 2026. Summer cruises to Alaska are scheduled to start in May 2026.

The "Brilliant Lady" will offer diverse dining options, from Korean BBQ to fine Mexican cuisine, providing a culinary experience for passengers. The ship will also feature wellness spaces, including a mermaid-inspired spa and a yoga perch with ocean views.

Virgin Voyages is also introducing the "Brilliant 4 You Pass," which offers passengers access to all of "Brilliant Lady's" inaugural voyages. This pass allows travelers to book multiple cruises with a single transaction.
