Brilliant Lady — Virgin Voyages’ Next Bold Adventure

COURTESY OF VIRGIN VOYAGES

Virgin Voyages is turning heads once again with the arrival of its newest ship, Brilliant Lady. This fourth member of the “Lady Ship” family will officially make her New York MerMaiden Voyage on September 5, 2025, kicking off a fresh wave of style, innovation, and new destinations for travelers who love Virgin’s adults-only cruise experience.

While she shares the sleek lines and playful personality of her sister ships—Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady—Brilliant Lady has a few tricks up her sleeve that make her stand out.

Built for Bigger Horizons

One of the biggest design shifts is that Brilliant Lady has been crafted to sail through the legendary Panama Canal. This means subtle changes to her shape, lifeboat placement, and deck layouts, all allowing her to explore both coasts of the Americas. From Caribbean getaways to Alaska’s icy fjords, she’s set to unlock itineraries no other Virgin Voyages ship can reach.

Smarter, Sleeker, and More Sustainable

Virgin didn’t just copy and paste the blueprint. Brilliant Lady benefits from lessons learned on the first three ships:

• More energy-efficient systems that automatically adapt to weather and occupancy.

• Design tweaks for better traffic flow on board.

• Improved hydrodynamics to glide through the water using less fuel.

It’s all part of Virgin’s goal to keep the “lady ships” stylish and sustainable.

New Flavors and Fresh Entertainment

Every Virgin ship has its signature restaurants and jaw-dropping shows, but Brilliant Lady will debut a few surprises:

• A new dining venue inspired by Spanish flavors and late-night tapas culture.

• Brand-new stage productions alongside fan-favorite entertainment, keeping the nightlife as bold as the cocktails.

• Exclusive experiences for those on her first sailings—think special menus, unique performances, and commemorative keepsakes just for the September 5 MerMaiden crowd.

The Adventure Begins

With Brilliant Lady, Virgin Voyages isn’t just adding another ship—it’s expanding what the brand can offer. East Coast escapes, West Coast vibes, and even Alaska’s wild landscapes will now be within reach, all wrapped in that signature Virgin mix of luxury, fun, and a little bit of cheeky charm.

Whether you’re a repeat sailor or new to the Virgin Voyages style, Brilliant Lady promises something unforgettable, starting September 5.
