Virgin Voyages will operate Alaska cruises in summer 2026 aboard the Brilliant Lady, the fourth ship in Virgin's fleet that will debut in New York in September 2025.
The Brilliant Lady will sail seven- to 12-night cruises departing from Seattle and Vancouver, starting May 21, 2026.
This past May, Virgin Voyages said it gave members of its Sailing Club loyalty program a first shot at securing a front-of-the-line pass to buy Alaskan cruises. Bookings open for them on Oct. 31. Cruises go on sale for the general public on Nov. 13.
The Brilliant Lady's inaugural season includes voyages from multiple U.S. ports, including New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Seattle. They include a 16-night sailing through the Panama Canal.
