Virgin Voyages is setting sail for the Last Frontier in the summer of 2026 aboard the Brilliant Lady, the newest addition to their fleet. The cruise line has recently revealed the exciting offerings for the upcoming Alaska cruises.

  • Seven- to 12-night itineraries will depart from Seattle and Vancouver, starting with the inaugural MerMaiden voyage from May 21-28.
  • The Alaska cruises will include stops in Ketchikan, Sitka, and a scenic sail through the Tracy Arm Fjord, with a docking in Prince Rupert, BC.

Presale access opens this week for passholders, while the itineraries will be available to the general public starting November 13.

Guests can look forward to a variety of shore excursions, including whale watching, salmon fishing, glacier trekking, lumberjack shows, and dog sledding. New ‘Treat Yourself’ culinary options will highlight locally sourced Alaskan seafood.

Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages, stated, “Soon our Sailors can visit one of the world’s most incredible destinations, all while enjoying new and exciting artists, chefs, and musicians.”

Brilliant Lady will make her debut in September 2025, launching her inaugural season in New York, with additional voyages planned from Miami, LA, and Seattle, including a remarkable 16-night journey through the Panama Canal.

In addition to the Alaska routes, Virgin Voyages is also introducing a new seven-night itinerary from Los Angeles, featuring highlights such as Cabo San Lucas, enchanting Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta.
