Virgin Voyages Goes to Alaska: Brilliant Lady

Virgin Voyages is heading north for the first time, and it's a big deal. Starting in May 2026, the newest ship, Brilliant Lady, sailed their inaugural Alaska season on round-trip voyages from Seattle through the summer.

Where you'll go

Itineraries feature classic Alaska highlights — think Sitka, Ketchikan, and scenic glacier cruising at Hubbard Glacier — with the dramatic scenery Alaska is famous for. (Exact ports vary by sailing, so we'll confirm the itinerary for your dates.)

What's new for Alaska

  • Alaska-only Happenings: wildlife-viewing sessions, birch-canvas art workshops, a Northern night market, brewery tastings, and themed baking — alongside the usual Virgin energy.

  • New Happenings Cast roles like The Naturalist and The Lumberjack, plus Alaskan Native cultural guides.

  • Alaska on the menu: salmon, halibut, king crab and venison, with local flavors like huckleberry and birch, and cozy seasonal drinks.

It's unmistakably Virgin — adults-only and stylish — just swapped from sunshine to spruce forests and glaciers.
