A New Era of Luxury Cruising
Virgin Voyages is getting ready to welcome travelers aboard its newest ship, the Brilliant Lady — a floating tribute to America’s most famous destinations. From the electric streets of New York to the serene glaciers of Alaska, this ship combines modern luxury with the spirit of adventure.
Every corner of Brilliant Lady tells a story, blending the energy of New York, Miami’s Latin flair, Los Angeles’ glamour, and the wild beauty of Alaska. It’s a cruise designed for travelers who want more than a vacation — they want a memorable journey.
Design That Feels Like Home
Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the welcoming and stylish interiors. Navy blue banquettes, jewel-toned seating, and warm wood finishes make the ship feel cozy yet sophisticated. Subtle lighting in shades of soft blue and purple sets a relaxing mood, like a quiet Alaskan evening sky.
Brilliant Lady is designed for comfort, so guests can unwind the moment they step onboard.
Spaces Made for Connection
The social heartbeat of the ship is Draught Haus, a lively bar that’s perfect for meeting new people. Once a spot for craft beers only, it now serves barista-style coffees, cocktails, and sparkling wines on tap. It’s where friendships begin, stories are shared, and nights are unforgettable.
Dining gets a vibrant twist at Rojo by Razzle Dazzle. This Spanish-inspired restaurant is full of warmth, with terracotta and crimson tones that create a cozy, relaxed vibe. Small plates are perfect for sharing while enjoying good conversation — making it a favorite for those who like their meals social and unhurried.
Wellness with a View
For those who like to stay active, the Athletic Club is a must-see. One wall has been removed to reveal sweeping views of the ocean, making workouts and wellness sessions even more inspiring. Circular daybeds are placed around the area for lounging, while mesh sail canopies create shaded spots for yoga, meditation, or simply soaking in the views.
From spotting whales to gazing at the Northern Lights, this space is as relaxing as it is energizing.
Balconies Built for Two
The Sea Terraces, Brilliant Lady’s signature balcony rooms, have been redesigned to be more intimate and inviting. Each balcony now has two bright red hammock chairs, so guests can relax side by side while watching the waves or the changing Alaskan landscapes.
Alaska Like You’ve Never Seen It
The real magic happens when the Brilliant Lady sails through Alaska’s breathtaking routes. Guests can explore Glacier Bay’s icy wonderlands, take in the colorful local life in Juneau, and even go on excursions to get up close with nature.
Each stop is carefully planned to create once-in-a-lifetime moments, from spotting wildlife to learning about the region’s unique history and traditions.
Why Brilliant Lady Stands Out
Brilliant Lady isn’t just another cruise ship — it’s an experience built for travelers who crave adventure, comfort, and connection.
- For explorers: Unforgettable itineraries in Alaska with access to wild landscapes and unique cultural experiences.
- For social travelers: Stylish gathering spots like Draught Haus and Rojo make it easy to meet and mingle.
- For those seeking relaxation: Luxurious interiors and serene terraces ensure plenty of quiet moments at sea.
With its blend of design, wellness, and adventure, Brilliant Lady is setting a new standard for luxury cruising.
