If you’re looking for places to eat, Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady is full of them – over twenty, in fact, when you count the food truck-style stations in The Galley! From fantastic Mexican meals in a comfortable restaurant to familiar favourites poolside, there will be something for everyone to enjoy onboard; and, without a traditional buffet-style restaurant, everything onboard is prepared fresh for you to indulge in.
The dining highlights aboard Brilliant Lady include:
On top of all this, you can also enjoy Ship Eats from the comfort of your stylish stateroom – Virgin Voyages’ take on room service. With a limited menu of items from a number of dining venues onboard, and plenty of drinks to choose from, this is well worth taking advantage of. It carries a nominal additional charge, which is something to keep in mind, but it’s far from as punishing as similar services on other cruise lines.
When it comes to entertainment options, Brilliant Lady has those in abundance; a real adult’s playground at sea, you’ll find live music, late-night discos, and more available onboard – and plenty of places to grab a drink when the sun starts to set. With innovative stage shows in The Red Room, table games like Texas Hold ‘Em in The Casino, and ground-breaking entertainment experiences in The Manor, you’ll have something exciting to do every evening you’re onboard.
Of all the venues available, entertainment highlights aboard Brilliant Lady include:
If you’re visiting Richard’s Rooftop, an exclusive sun deck, you’ll also find a well-equipped bar prepared to deliver delicious drinks throughout the day; so, you’re not going to need to go wandering if you’re looking for refreshment throughout the day.
Virgin Voyage’s ‘Vitamin Sea’ cruise philosophy is to relax and play all day and party the night away - or as they call it, ‘detox and retox’. As well as plenty of bars and sun lounger space to relax in by day aboard Brilliant Lady, there’s also the B-Complex outdoor gym to work up a sweat solo, the Athletic Club to join a group class or the basketball court where you can shoot some hoops. When the sun goes down though, the excess begins with all the great food on offer and a variety of bars and entertainment venues until the early hours!
And for those looking for something a little more exclusive, there's Richard's Rooftop - where those in RockStar and MegaRockstar Quarters can enjoy a private, panoramic alfresco lounge with a bar to indulge in your favourite cocktails.
On top of all this, you’ll also find a fantastic selection of wellness facilities – adding to the ‘Vitamin Sea’ experience – in the form of The Tune Up (this ship’s spa). Brilliant Lady is also home to The Groupie (a private karaoke venue), The Arcade (a gaming area with modern machines and classic cabinets), and Squid Ink (a tattoo parlour). Couple this with all the entertainment venues available and you’ll have more than enough things to do during sea days aboard this remarkable ship.
For those wondering where Brilliant Lady will be sailing to, you’ll be pleased to know that this incredible ship will be offering itineraries to some of the most spectacular destinations throughout North America, the Caribbean and beyond. From the mystical state of Alaska, to the sunny shores of California and the unique scenery of the Panama Canal, there’s an itinerary to suit every taste; whether you’re looking for a cruise filled with natural wonders or one that’s filled with plenty of chances to relax in the warmth of the sun.
Specially adapted to transit the Panama Canal, this sleek ship also boasts more sustainable technology, from smart and efficient cabins to using plug-in shore power infrastructure where available in port.
