Brilliant Lady: the only one of the four that transits the Panama Canal, with departures that left from Quebec City

Brilliant Lady entered service on 5 September 2025, from New York, for Virgin Voyages. We carry 105 departures across 79 dates and 49 routes, from 30 July 2026 to 21 February 2028. One thing before anything else: the fleet is adults only.

What sets her apart from her three sisters

She is the only one of the four able to transit the Panama Canal. That is what opens the West Coast and Alaska to her, where her sisters do not go. Her first season covered New York, New England, Atlantic Canada and Bermuda — and some departures left from Quebec City, which does not happen often with this line. She then moved down to Miami for the winter, before the West Coast and Alaska in 2026 out of Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver.

The ship, and a gap between sources

Fincantieri, Sestri Ponente. The class runs to one hundred and ten thousand gross tons for two hundred and seventy-eight metres, two thousand seven hundred and seventy guests and one thousand one hundred and sixty crew. One trade source gives one hundred and forty thousand tons for this one; we keep the class figure and flag the gap rather than settling it in silence. The same goes for delivery: one source dates it to early 2024, another to 5 September 2025. Both agree on the entry into service, so that is what we give.

What the line says is included

Meals, Wi-Fi, group fitness classes and "essential drinks". "Essential" is not "all". Ask your advisor for the written list before booking.

The other three

Scarlet Lady since 2021, Valiant Lady since 2022, Resilient Lady since 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

Since 5 September 2025, out of New York.
She is the only one of the four able to transit the Panama Canal, which opens the West Coast and Alaska to her, where her sisters do not go.
Yes, her first season had some. That is rare with this line, and it is worth checking season by season with your advisor.
Not entirely. One trade source gives one hundred and forty thousand gross tons where the class runs to one hundred and ten thousand, and one dates her delivery to early 2024 while another gives 5 September 2025. Both agree on the entry into service, so that is what we give, and we flag the gap rather than settling it in silence.
One hundred and five, across seventy-nine dates and forty-nine routes, from 30 July 2026 to 21 February 2028.
No. The Virgin Voyages fleet is adults only. It is the first thing to check before booking as a family, and finding out at the check-in desk is a very poor way to start a trip.
Virgin Voyages states on its site that the fare covers meals, Wi-Fi, group fitness classes and "essential drinks". We report what the line announces, we do not assert it on its behalf. The word "essential" is not "all": ask your advisor for the written list before booking.
Fincantieri, at Sestri Ponente, in Italy. One hundred and ten thousand gross tons, two hundred and seventy-eight metres, two thousand seven hundred and seventy guests and one thousand one hundred and sixty crew. The four ships share the same hull.
Four: Scarlet Lady since 2021, Valiant Lady since 2022, Resilient Lady since 2023 and Brilliant Lady since September 2025.
They share the same hull. What changes is the ground they cover, the home ports and, for Brilliant Lady, the ability to transit the Panama Canal.
Service is in English. If French matters to you, say so to your advisor before booking.
We will not assert it here: we have not measured the line's policy on this point. That is a question for your advisor, and one to get in writing.
Families with children, without exception: the fleet is adults only. And anyone looking for a quiet ship: two thousand seven hundred and seventy guests on a hull built for a young clientele is not a yacht.
Your agency, and it alone. Voyages AquaTerra operates under a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur, your payments pass through a trust account, and the compensation fund for travel agency clients covers your departure.
By ground and duration rather than by ship: the four hulls are the same. Look at the home port, the season and the number of days at sea.
