Virgin Voyages has confirmed the deployment of its fourth ship, Brilliant Lady, for the 2028 season, with the vessel entering service from Miami in early 2028. The adult-only cruise line has released itineraries through April 2028, featuring expanded Caribbean programmes and its first full season of Mexico and Central America voyages. The deployment schedule represents a 25% capacity increase for the line since its 2021 launch.
The 2028 programme positions Brilliant Lady on 5- and 7-night Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami, calling at Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatán. The Resilient Lady continues its winter season from San Juan, offering 8-night Southern Caribbean sailings to Barbados, St. Lucia, and Antigua. The Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady maintain year-round operations from PortMiami, with 5-night Mexico and 7-night Eastern Caribbean routes. The Mediterranean season for 2028 features the Valiant Lady returning to Barcelona for summer operations.
Virgin Voyages has introduced 14 new port calls for 2028, including Cartagena, Colombia, and Puerto Limón, Costa Rica. The line’s 2028 deployment includes its first-ever Panama Canal transits, with the Brilliant Lady scheduled for two 14-night crossings in April and October 2028. Bookings for the 2028 season opened on August 15, 2026, with early booking discounts of up to 20% for sailors booking 12 months in advance.
