Sir Richard Branson (pictured above), DJ Khaled, Swae Lee, The Real Housewives of Miami stars Kiki Barth, Alexia Nepola, Marysol Patton and Larsa Pippen, all came together to mark the debut of Brilliant Lady.
Guests were treated to the world premiere of Red Hot, a rockumentary-style spectacular inspired by Virgin Records’ legendary music catalogue.
Featuring hits from the Spice Girls, Janet Jackson, David Bowie, Queen, The Killers, and The Sex Pistols, the show celebrates Virgin’s 50-plus-year legacy in music, complete with archival footage of Sir Richard Branson and a high-octane cast.
The ship’s entertainment lineup also wowed with Up With A Twist, a Gatsby-inspired Supper Club that channels the Roaring Twenties with theatrical flair and old-world opulence.

Throughout the day, guests discovered new Brilliant Lady exclusives – from Secret Vintage, a speakeasy-style wine tasting, to The Stitch Up in the Social Club, and Rojo, the ship’s fiery Spanish-inspired eatery.
The night ended with Electric, a glowing, neon-drenched dance party in The Manor that pulsed long into the early hours.
Brilliant Lady will spend the coming weeks sailing the Caribbean before making her way through the Panama Canal to Los Angeles and onward to Alaska in spring 2026.
Soon after, all four of Virgin Voyages’ sister ships – Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady – will unite in the Caribbean for the first time.
