Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm David from VB Insider, and I'm going to round up all of the features that we've done on the Brilliant Lady to let you know what to expect on the brand new lady ship as she launches later this year, and crucially how she differs from her four sisters, Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady.

The biggest change and the thing that really sets Brilliant Lady apart from the rest of the ships will be the ability for Brilliant Lady to pass through the Panama Canal.

We're very excited to see what happens over the next few weeks. One thing that we know is pending is the full announcement for the happenings cast that will be launching Brilliant Lady.
