Brilliant Lady’s Winter 2027–2028 season is now on sale, with sailings from Los Angeles and Miami, including Mexican Riviera voyages, a Panama Canal repositioning and Caribbean itineraries.

Virgin Voyages has released the Brilliant Lady Winter 2027–2028 deployment, which spans both the Pacific and Caribbean. You can also get up to $200 in VV Insider Sail Forward Sailor Loot on eligible sailings when booking with us.

The schedule begins with Mexican Riviera sailings from Los Angeles before the ship repositions through the Panama Canal to Miami for a full Caribbean season.

Los Angeles Sailings and Mexican Riviera Routes

The first part of the season will see Brilliant Lady sailing from Los Angeles, visiting ports across Mexico’s Pacific coast.

These voyages include stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta and La Paz, alongside several sea days along the Baja Peninsula. One itinerary also includes San Diego and Ensenada.

The Los Angeles season also includes a longer repositioning sailing through Central America and the Panama Canal before arriving in Miami.

Panama Canal Repositioning Voyage

Two longer repositioning sailings appear in the schedule.

A 17 night Panama Canal voyage sails from Los Angeles to Miami in November 2027, visiting ports including Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Panama City and Cartagena before arriving in Florida.

Later in the season a second repositioning sailing takes the ship back to Los Angeles from Miami in February 2028, again transiting the Panama Canal.

These longer voyages typically include a higher number of sea days and are among the most unique itineraries in the fleet.

Miami Caribbean Season

After arriving in Miami, Brilliant Lady will operate a range of Caribbean sailings throughout December, January and February.

  • Short Bahamas sailings including a 3 night visiting Nassau, Freeport and the Beach Club at Bimini
  • Western Caribbean routes including Ocho Rios and George Town
  • Longer Eastern Caribbean voyages visiting St. Thomas, Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Croix and Puerto Plata
  • Holiday departures over Christmas and New Year’s are also available.

Many itineraries feature a stop at The Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin Voyages’ private beach destination in the Bahamas.

    We recently returned by a 9 day cruise on Brillant Lady. We purchased 2 place holders for additional trips. We are interested in the Brillant Lady Sister at Sea 10 cruise in February 2027. We like the Sea Terrace room on deck 12 or 13.

    What pricing are we looking at for this cruise?

      Hey Lynn. Have sent you a message 🙂

    Rob, The 10 day Eastern Caribbean on 07th Feb 2028 mentions Beach Club Bimini but there is nothing in the schedule that shows it calling there. The one on 08th Feb 2027 is calling there as its last port of call as I have this one booked. (Birthday on a VV again, Cartagena this year)

    1. Rob Sammons says:

      It’s likely the final day, as it’s a preview the title and information was provided by Virgin Voyages so may provide mistakes until we update our VV Insider Booking Portal.
