Virgin Voyages’ newbuild, Brilliant Lady, has successfully crossed the Atlantic and is set to host its first guests on September 5, 2025, from New York City.
The ship’s private Friends & Family cruise from Portsmouth to New York, which included a stop in Dublin, also visited Ponta Delgada and Halifax. The ship will offer cruises from New York to Bermuda, Canada, and New England, with itineraries ranging from five to 13 nights, visiting destinations such as King’s Wharf, Boston, and Halifax.
In mid-October, Brilliant Lady will reposition to Miami for a series of Caribbean cruises and will also undertake a summer 2026 season in Alaska from Seattle and Vancouver.
The Brilliant Lady will facilitate a short West Coast season with cruises to the Mexican Riviera and will return to the Caribbean for the 2026-27 winter, departing from PortMiami.
Deployment will include regular visits to Virgin’s private Beach Club on the island of Bimini.
