With three ships in the water by the end of the summer, we - along with Scarlet, Valiant, and Resilient Lady - are delighted to welcome our fourth lady ship to the Virgin Voyages fleet. 

Like her three sisters who’ve come before, we’ve been extremely thoughtful about selecting her name; making sure that whatever we call her not only represents her, but represents the values and the beliefs we hold so dear. And as we set out to continually create a bright and radiant experience for our Sailors - much like the sparkling seas she'll sail on - it was only appropriate that our fourth ship reflect that (yes, the pun is most definitely intended). So it’s our absolute honor to introduce Brilliant Lady to the fleet. 

Brilliance - which means both radiance and exceptional talent and intelligence - was purposefully chosen for the duality of its meaning. We set out, on every single sailing, to give our Sailors a radiant experience - giving you such a glowing experience that you can’t help but beam upon returning home; matched only by the luminous stars above and the glistening sea below. 

But our name goes far beyond the vivid, incandescent glow of the sea and the inevitable post-vacation glow we set out to give our Sailors. Each and every one of our ships rocks a beautiful and strong mermaid at its helm - and Brilliant Lady will be no different. So as we thought about the strength and resilience we’ve touched upon with our other mermaids, we also wanted to highlight the powerful intelligence of women across the globe.

Because in a world where women are still fighting for their place at the table, intelligence is something women are often taught not to claim for themselves. Women are taught to be pretty, patient, and strong - and those are often traits we’re allowed to own. But being smart, being absolutely brilliant, is a characteristic that women are so rarely allowed to celebrate without fear of being called arrogant. Without fear of being “too much.” Without fear, period. 

While on the other hand, traditionally, men are encouraged to claim their intelligence; it's seen, rightfully, as confident and knowing their worth. Our Brilliant Lady represents the smart, thoughtful, boundary-pushing minds of women around the world - unafraid of owning their intelligence, aware of their importance, and confidently in touch with their own sense of self worth.

So as we welcome our newest lady ship to the fleet, we do so loudly and proudly. And while her mermaid, and all her brilliant destinations are still to come, we’re so excited for her arrival. And we can’t wait to tell you more about her, and all the places she goes, (very, very) soon.

The Manor

The two-story, three bar space, named after Richard’s first recording studio, is inspired by a classic theatrical zeitgeist - layered with a moody and sexy ‘70s, punk vibe. Ground-breaking shows will kick the night off before it transitions into a mind-blowing, goodbye-early-morning-workout nightclub.

The Casino 

There’s no wrong way to casino (just ask the guys from that 1970s Vegas movie), but a great way to start is by choosing your slot machine district. Whether it be Little Asia, Ocean Drive Tournament Central or Adventure Alley, there is a district (and 115 slot machines) to satisfy every gamer’s desire. If you’re more of a table player, we’ve got craps, roulette, electronic Texas Hold’em, single deck blackjack, three card poker and ultimate Texas Hold’em and Baccarat. But if you’re not a gambler, grab a drink and let our dealers teach you how to play - so you have the confidence to play when we’re off on international waters.

The Red Room

Our larger-than-life entertainment space is the first ever transformational, multi-form theater at sea. Boundary-pushing performances on the traditional Proscenium stage or late-night dance parties on the flat-floor configuration - undiscovered experiences are always unfolding here. Designed by renowned theater design consultants, Auerbach Pollock Friedlander - we’ve created a unique and flexible (while still being intimate) theater space that delivers a sea (lol) of possibilities.

Aquatic Club

With smooth curves and nautical details, we’ve created a pool deck with the sophisticated glam of a contemporary yacht. Whether you’re looking to sunbathe in one of our daybeds or let last night’s choices melt away in the pool, you can detox and recover, or start the party all over again. Don’t be surprised if paparazzi mistake you for celebs - we’re legally not responsible for how good you look on this ship.

The Groupie

With song choices that span decades, genres, and octave abilities, these bookable private sessions only require having your go-to tracks chosen, singing voice warmed up, and invited friends ready for a private dance and song battle to remember.

Voyage Vinyl

With our brand’s history rooted deeply in music, our sonic identity peaks at our record shop on board. Stocked with music magazines, headphones and record players, you can pull up to a listening station with a stack from our selection of both classic and current albums including special and limited editions.

The Social Club

From The Arcade and The Loose Cannon to The Social Club Diner within it - The Social Club is where you go to relax, game, or casually get to know the other Sailors. Inside, you’ll find games like air hockey, shuffleboard, foosball, and a plethora of board and card games. And if you get thirsty, head over to The Social Club Diner for a taste of nostalgia at our lighthearted and modern take on the soda fountain bar.

The Arcade

Located in the Social Club, The Arcade pays homage to the epic childhood arcade games of yesteryear - like pacman and other various vintage arcade games, a race car game, air hockey tables, a shuffleboard table and a foosball table. Inner-children are permitted to run wild here.

Aquatic Club

With smooth curves and nautical details, we’ve created a pool deck with the sophisticated glam of a contemporary yacht. Whether you’re looking to sunbathe in one of our daybeds or let last night’s choices melt away in the pool, you can detox and recover, or start the party all over again. Don’t be surprised if paparazzi mistake you for celebs - we’re legally not responsible for how good you look on this ship.

Redemption Spa

If vacation for you isn’t complete without the ultimate form of self-care, our spa will be your second home. From massages so good they’ll make you question life itself, to a mudroom that will revitalize your body and soul, we call it Redemption for a reason. Our Thermal Suite includes a mud room, salt room, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools and heated marble hammam benches - so many ways to reveal a new version of you.

Stubble & Groom

Our barbershop on board is a gentleman’s haven that nods to the past British traditions of men looking (and feeling) ship shape. From beard trims and haircuts to pedicures designed to put an extra pep in your step, Stubble & Groom is the perfect place to refresh and refine.

Squid Ink

We’ve teamed up with World Famous Tattoo Ink, Soho Ink and Freshly Inked Magazine to open our very own tattoo studio on board. The historical roots of tattoo art can be traced back to sailors celebrating nautical milestones like a first time crossing the equator, crossing the Atlantic or mementos of epic voyages. Inspired by that beauty and tradition, we celebrate creative self-expression, tales of adventure and unforgettable life experiences.

The Athletic Club

Designed with the aesthetic of athletic social clubs of the past, our club incorporates not just an active Training Camp room and boxing classes, but also a full-on basketball court and adult-sized seasaws. After you’re done sweating it all out - or even just hanging out in the sun on the daybed that wraps around the back of the space - head to the bar for a healthy juice or a craft cocktail from our full-bar.

Gym & Tonic

After working up a sweat at B-Complex, relax with a wellness beverage at Gym & Tonic. A juice bar with numerous wellness offerings - including a full-bar - Gym & Tonic has a myriad of drinks to help you wind down after giving your all… or some of your all. From made-to-order shakes and fresh or cold pressed juices to our Reset Cocktails that are healthy in spirit (while putting the spirit in healthy), there’s no wrong way to thank yourself for taking care of your mind, body and soul.

The Wake

The perfect mix of sophistication, nostalgia and cool - entering The Wake is an event in and of itself. And once you've made your way down the grand staircase, you'll enter a world that harks back to the old steakhouse, three-martini-lunch days of Madison Avenue ad men. But ya know, now with, thankfully, gender equality. And less cigar smoke.

Razzle Dazzle Restaurant

So your best friend wants something light and healthy, and you want… unicorn toast? This is that place. Boasting a bold interior, this happening spot offers creative surprises on some classic, comfort go-to’s. With a menu that’s being coined “naughty or nice”, you can choose from one side that skews toward plant-based vegetarian dishes, or the indulgent side - meats, sweets, and gluttonous treats. So whether you’re looking for something familiar or something spicy and out of left field, this place does all of that with a (unicorn) twist.

Gunbae

If you’re into hands-on meat-grilling and soju drinking, our Korean BBQ is the perfect spot to do all of that with maximum social engagement (in real life, of course, but feel free to ‘gram it if you want). It’s a catalyst for great conversation, and since we all have that one friend who insists on being the meat-master - go ahead and roast the master while they roast the meat.

The Sweet Side

The Sweet Side of The Galley houses pastries in the morning (for the sweet-toothed breakfast lovers among us) and desserts later on. It’s a non stop sweet fest, so leave your rude friends by the pool.
