10/24/2025 Scott Sanfilippo

We’ve officially reached the final sea day of this eight-day MerMaiden voyage aboard Virgin Voyages’ newest ship, Brilliant Lady. It’s hard to believe this cruise is already wrapping up - it’s flown by. So far, we’ve visited just two ports of call - St. Maarten and Tortola - and tomorrow…

10/22/2025 Scott Sanfilippo

We’re officially in the homestretch of this eight-day MerMaiden Voyage aboard Virgin Voyages’ newest and fourth ship, Brilliant Lady. Hard to believe it’s flying by this fast!

The Aquatic Club Pool on Brilliant Lady

Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady Cruise Review – Day 2: October 18, 2025

10/19/2025 Scott Sanfilippo

After a great first day onboard for Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady’s MerMaiden Voyage from Miami, I'm starting to get settled in and more in-tune with the whole Virgin cruises style.  Sir Richard Branson himself is onboard for this inaugural sailing, which makes this already special voyage even more memorable, as…
