Brilliant Lady’s new 2026/27 winter itineraries give Sailors the best of both worlds.

From four-night getaways to 10-night island-hopping adventures visiting up to six breathtaking Caribbean destinations – featuring longer stays in exceptional ports like St. Maarten, St. Croix and more – these itineraries offer the best of both worlds: quick escapes and immersive journeys.

Most sailings feature a day at the Beach Club at Bimini, so your Sailors will be sipping and lounging where the sun always shines.

She’s also levelling up the classic American road trip.

Enjoy 5-16 sailings out of all four exquisitely unique corners of North America – from the iconic metropolis of New York City, the vibrantly fun Miami, coastal California out of Los Angeles and awe-inspiring Alaska out of Seattle.

New York City sailings will visit charming cultural hubs like Boston and Halifax. Via Miami, Sailors will cross through the historically monumental Panama Canal.

And in May 2026, she’ll journey into Alaska’s awe-inspiring wilderness, giving Sailors a front-row seat to its rugged landscapes, majestic wildlife and serene beauty.

BRAND-NEW ENTERTAINMENT

Brilliant Lady is about to make waves!

As she prepares to set sail this spring on her inaugural voyages, Virgin Voyages is rolling out an entertainment line-up that’s as bold and blazing as she is.

From brand-new productions to immersive experiences and fresh takes on Sailor-favourite shows, this Lady is raising the curtain on a whole new level of fun at sea.

Brilliant Lady introduces seven original productions alongside beloved fleet favourites, each tailored for longer itineraries across New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Alaska.

Here’s what sets the entertainment apart:

Diverse Genre Appeal – From jazz duets to acrobatic theatre, Virgin Voyages’ line-up includes comedy, mystery, music retrospectives, and interactive performances.

Audience-Centric Design – Shows like Up with a Twist let Sailors influence the narrative, while Murder in the Manor merges escape-room thrills with live theatre.

Technical Innovation – Cutting-edge projection mapping and UV-reactive staging in Electric Dance Party push the boundaries of maritime productions.

Cultural Connection – Shows that pay tribute to Virgin Records’ legendary artists, blending archival footage with modern choreography.

NEW DINING CONCEPTS

By day, Sailors can still enjoy the Razzle Dazzle they know and love, including signature bottomless brunch with dishes rooted in American classics elevated with Spanish flavours.

By night, Razzle Dazzle transforms into Rojo (below), offering a contemporary Spanish-inspired menu featuring small plates (tapas & pintxos), large dishes like paella and a curated selection of Spanish wines and cocktails – think crisp cava, herbaceous vermouth spritzes, classic sherry pours and elevated Mediterranean gin & tonics.

It’s a flavourful way to end the day after exploring Brilliant Lady’s incredible new itineraries in New England, Canada, the Caribbean and Alaska.
