Virgin Voyages’ fourth ship Brilliant Lady will officially debut in September 2025.
It will sail its maiden voyage from New York City and offer a short season of five voyages from 5-13 nights to Canada and Bermuda.
It will then operate cruises from several US home ports starting in Miami between October 2025 and April 2026.

Brilliant Lady will then transit the Panama Canal for the first time to Los Angeles.
The ship has been constructed with an adapted frame which allows the Panama Canal transit and the ability to navigate the glaciers of Alaska.
On the west coast Brilliant Lady will later redeploy to Seattle for Virgin’s first Alaska cruise season in 2026.
“This ship is going to be brilliant in every possible way which includes all the new places we can travel to. Alaska, LA, New York,” says Virgin Group founder, Sir Richard Branson.
Brilliant Lady’s upcoming new dining and entertainment options will be shared in the coming months.
