Virgin Voyages has opened bookings for Brilliant Lady’s 2028 Alaska season.
The cruise line is introducing four new itineraries within a line-up of 18 sailings from Seattle and Vancouver, ranging from seven to 12 nights.
Running from May 1 through September 14, 2028, the season offers roundtrip and one-way voyages showcasing Alaska’s coastlines, glaciers and port towns.
Each sailing pairs adventures ashore with distinctive dining and destination-inspired entertainment.
Season highlights include:
- A scenic start: A 10-night voyage from Vancouver to Seattle departing May 1, 2028, with calls including Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan, plus scenic cruising at Hubbard Glacier.
- A week in the wild: Seven-night Seattle roundtrips featuring Ketchikan, Sitka, Victoria and scenic cruising through Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier.
- Time to explore: A 12-night Seattle roundtrip departing July 13, 2028, visiting Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Haines, Juneau and Skagway, plus scenic cruising at Hubbard Glacier.

- A Vancouver finale: A seven-night Seattle-to-Vancouver voyage departing September 7, 2028, closing the season with coastal discoveries and glacier views.
During its initial Alaska season, Virgin Voyages introduced Happenings tailored to the cooler climate, including Drawn to the Wild, You Don’t Know Lumberjack, Baking Alaska and Headphones and Horizons.
Two Alaska-specific Happenings cast roles – The Lumberjack and The Naturalist – added local character and wildlife insight to life at sea.
Shore Things offer opportunities to explore Alaska through wildlife watching, glacier adventures, fishing and cultural experiences.
Alongside those wildlife encounters comes a commitment to helping protect the waters Brilliant Lady explores.
Virgin Voyages partnered with marine conservation charity ORCA to train its marine team to spot whales and take steps to reduce the risk of vessel strikes.
The brand also participates in Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies, a voluntary vessel speed reduction program in California waters that helps reduce whale-strike risk, underwater noise and air pollution.
