Creator's Key Takeaways

The panoramic views from this spot are probably the best place you want to position yourself for this cruise

Every dish here is amazing. So, highly recommend trying to get a dinner reservation here.

It's a series of events that pins both sides of the audience against each other. So, you have axe throwing, you have wood chopping

FAQs About Our Alaska Sailings on Virgin Voyages: Q: Which Virgin Voyages ship sails the Alaska itineraries? Our ship Brilliant Lady, proudly sails our spectacular Alaska itineraries, featuring purpose-built spaces designed to give Sailors incredible views of the glaciers, fjords, and local wildlife. Q: Are shore excursions included in the voyage fare, and how can they be booked? Shore excursions (which we call Shore Things) are not included in the standard voyage fare. Sailors can browse and book these curated local experiences before their voyage through the Virgin Voyages app, in My Account on the Virgin Voyages website, or by calling Sailor Services. Once on board, Shore Things can also be booked through the Virgin Voyages app or by visiting the Sailor Services desk. Q: How does the "Ship Eats" room service delivery fee work? Room service ("Ship Eats") has a nominal $10 delivery fee per order. However, if you order any specialty item priced at $10 or more—such as a specialty latte, an alcoholic beverage, or a premium non-alcoholic drink—the delivery fee is entirely waived. Q: What kind of dining options are available on Brilliant Lady? Like all our ships, Brilliant Lady features 20+ eateries with menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs, all included in your fare. This includes our signature venues as well as Rojo, a brand-new, Spanish-inspired restaurant exclusive to this ship, featuring authentic tapas and region-specific dishes like Alaska roasted cod.
