Virgin Voyages has welcomed the arrival of Brilliant Lady into Los Angeles, ahead of the launch of its first-ever US West Coast programme.
The ship completed its 16-night repositioning sailing from Miami, via the Panama Canal, calling at Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Cabo San Lucas before arriving on the West Coast. She becomes the first ship to homeport in Los Angeles.
The arrival signals the start of a programme of five- to eight-night itineraries sailing along the California coast through May 2026.
New additions to the ship includes a morning wellness experience, in addition to a series of eight, 45-minute West-Coast themed indoor cycling classes. Both are included within the cruise fare.
An enhanced wellness bar, Juice Sea, has also been added for the season.
Nathan Rosenberg, Chief Marketing Officer at Virgin Voyages, said:
“Brilliant Lady was built for people who treat their body, their time and their experiences as serious investments. They want movement and ritual alongside the best night out they’ve ever had at sea. The West Coast has always had a deep affinity for the Virgin brand and its values, so this feels like a homecoming moment for us.”
Following the West Coast season, Brilliant Lady will reposition to Seattle, with the line’s inaugural Alaska programme set to begin on May 21, 2026.
