Virgin Voyages is known for many reasons, namely being an exclusively adult cruise line that includes more than $1,000 in value in every sailing, such as premium dining at 20+ eateries, group fitness classes, Wi-Fi and award-winning entertainment. But they should be known more for their award-winning Lady Ships, including the recently launched Brilliant Lady.
Having made its celebrated debut in September 2025, Brilliant Lady is the fourth Virgin Voyages ship, joining Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady. And while Brilliant Lady has all the same hallmarks that set these ships apart — including hand-woven terrace hammocks, modern designs, signature venues and even a tattoo parlor at sea — this ship also boasts unique onboard spaces that make it extra special.
The Dock, Brilliant Lady
Let’s start with The Roundabout, the primary hub of every Virgin Voyages’ ship. On Brilliant Lady, The Roundabout is completely reimagined to include warm, plush lounges where cocktails flow, melodies ripple through the air and friendships are made. The same holds true for The Athletic Club, a fun-filled playground for adults. On Brilliant Lady, the space now has expanded shaded zones with clusters of daybeds that invite you to stretch out and unwind in comfort. Plus, brand-new glass panels reveal the exciting views you pass, making it easy to sit back and enjoy Alaska’s icy peaks or New York’s glittering skyline.

Another popular space that has been rejuvenated on Brilliant Lady is The Dock, a relaxing outdoor area at the back of these ships. On this newest Virgin Voyages ship, you’ll find a new stage that hosts live music and redesigned lounges to relax and enjoy that music. It’s the ideal space to sip a cocktail or a mocktail as the day transitions from action-packed afternoon to entertainment-filled night.

While all these revitalized spaces are exciting, nothing surpasses Brilliant Lady’s brand-new restaurant concept: Rojo by Razzle Dazzle. Here is where you’ll find the celebrated flavors of Spain on full display, from tempting sangria and sparkling cava to tapas and pintxos that are perfect to share. This new restaurant is co-helmed by acclaimed chefs Justin Severino — a four-time James Beard Foundation Award nominee — and rising star Nate Hobart, so you know it’s going to be unforgettable.
