Creator's Key Takeaways
It was the people. It was the crew members who were every bit as thrilled and in the moment as the sailors.
It was the symbolism of a huge company sailing their brand new high-profile ship into a world that feels increasingly less tolerant with a drag queen at the helm.
If you've never done an itinerary where the ship sails into a brand new destination, we can't recommend it enough.
It's a bold statement that inclusivity, visibility, and love will always matter.

✨ Our transatlantic adventure on Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady comes to a close! In this finale, during our Transatlantic crossing from Portsmouth, UK to New York City on Brilliant Lady’s first-ever voyage, we enjoy one last sea day onboard before experiencing something truly special — the first-ever sail into New York City on Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady! From passing the Statue of Liberty to watching the Manhattan skyline appear — all while joining our fellow sailors in song thanks to the Pub Choir — it was an unforgettable arrival and the perfect way to wrap up our journey. We’ll take you on a quick tour of New York, share our thoughts on Death Becomes Her on Broadway, and bring you along for disembarkation as we say goodbye to the ship that carried us across the Atlantic. Then it’s off to JFK, where we’ll show you around Virgin Atlantic’s iconic Clubhouse lounge. ✈️ Virgin Atlantic kindly provided us with complimentary access to their Clubhouse at JFK.
