Briiliant Lady is a cruise ship operated by Virgin Voyages.

History

[edit]

In 2018, Virgin Cruises ordered a fourth ship from Fincantieri, Sestri Ponente, Italy to the same design as Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady.[1][2] It has accommodation for 2,770 passengers. It operates adults only cruises.[3]

Launched in November 2022,[4] Brilliant Lady entered service on 5 September 2025 after delays caused by material shortages.[5][6][7]

Brilliant Lady is the first and only ship in the Virgin Voyages fleet capable of traversing the Panama Canal, enabling access to the west coast of the US and notably Alaska.[6]
