Virgin Voyages is heading north for the very first time. In summer 2026, the brand-new Brilliant Lady — the newest ship in the fleet — sails her debut Alaska season roundtrip from Seattle, bringing Virgin's adults-only, all-inclusive style to the Inside Passage. If you've wanted glaciers and grown-up vibes on the same trip, this is the season to watch.
Brilliant Lady comes to Alaska
Brilliant Lady launched in 2025 and is Virgin Voyages' fourth ship, joining Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady. For 2026 she repositions to the West Coast and runs 17 Alaska and Pacific Northwest itineraries from May through September, with the Alaska season kicking off May 21. Most sailings depart roundtrip from Seattle, with select Vancouver calls.
Brilliant Lady Alaska 2026 itineraries
You'll find two main lengths to choose from:
- 7-night Inside Passage (roundtrip Seattle): a relaxed mix of sea days and Alaska ports - think Ketchikan, Sitka, scenic glacier cruising at Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier, and Prince Rupert, BC.
- 12-night Alaska & Canadian Coasts: a deeper dive adding Hubbard Glacier, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, and Haines alongside Ketchikan, Sitka, and Prince Rupert.
Ports and glaciers you'll see
Season highlights include Ketchikan (Alaska's salmon capital and gateway to Misty Fjords), Sitka (Russian heritage and wildlife), Skagway (Gold Rush history and the White Pass railway), and Icy Strait Point and Haines for bears and bald eagles - plus jaw-dropping glacier cruising at Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier and Hubbard Glacier. Keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales, orca, sea otters, seals, and eagles.
What's included on Brilliant Lady
Virgin Voyages keeps it refreshingly simple. Your fare includes Wi-Fi, gratuities, group fitness classes, soft drinks, and dining at all the included eateries - no main dining room, no buffet, and no surprise tipping at the end. It's an adults-only (18+) ship: no kids and no formal nights, just a stylish, grown-up way to experience Alaska.
Why an adults-only Alaska cruise hits different
Alaska has long been a family and big-ship destination. Brilliant Lady changes that with a smaller, design-forward ship (about 2,770 guests), included tips and Wi-Fi, and a calmer, couples-and-friends atmosphere. It's ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, girlfriend getaways, and anyone who wants the scenery without the splash pads.
