Creator's Key Takeaways

It's such a good show with some incredible choreography, powerful vocals, and a great amount of humor throughout.

However, even in its current form, I'd highly recommend seeing this as it's a truly unique event on board Brilliant Lady.

I was so impressed with this ship and the onboard experience.

The ship along with Virgin Voyages as a whole feels so inclusive and diverse, so you can't help but feel welcome here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book dinner reservations far in advance.
Ask staff about menu changes in Test Kitchen to visit again for a new menu.
Pre-order dairy-free options if you have dietary restrictions.

YouTube Video Description

ad • Join me as I give you a full ship tour of Brilliant Lady – the newest Ladyship in the Virgin Voyages fleet! In this video I’ll explore all her interior venues and open decks, so you can get an idea as to what it’s like to sail on Brilliant Lady. Along the way, I’ll also highlight some new spaces exclusive to this ship I’ll also let you know my own thoughts about what I enjoyed, and what can be improved. *Recorded In August 2025 during Brilliant Lady’s Portsmouth Launch Party* A massive thank you to Virgin Voyages for inviting me for this overnight stay. As a result of this invite you’ll see a paid promotion flag on this video. Although I haven’t been told by Virgin to say things in a particular way, instead you’ll get my usual honest opinion. Permission was also given by Virgin to record in their shows as well as to use their title cards in my video.
