It's finally here. After a couple of
0:02
years of delays, the brilliant lady is
0:03
having her final preparations to get
0:05
ready for launch later this year. And
0:07
right now, she's entering an estimated
0:09
twoe wet dock in Palmo, Italy. I'm David
0:12
from VB Insider, and I'm going to round
0:14
up all of the features that we've done
0:16
on the Brilliant Lady to let you know
0:17
what to expect on the brand new lady
0:19
ship as she launches later this year,
0:21
and crucially how she differs from her
0:24
four sisters, Scarlet Lady, Valiant
0:26
Lady, and Resilient Lady. There's so
0:28
much to cover, including some big
0:29
structural changes that are going to
0:31
allow her to enter new waters, unlocking
0:34
new itineraries in the west coast of the
0:35
USA and beyond. A brand new cabin type
0:38
that will only be seen on Brilliant
0:40
Lady, which will offer a new flexibility
0:42
in how you enjoy your sea terrace or
0:44
your balcony. A brand new dining concept
0:46
is coming to the Razledazzle restaurant.
0:49
We even have a sneak peek at some of the
0:50
new menu items that are going to be
0:52
available there as well. And where
0:53
brilliant lady makes her biggest flashes
0:55
are the new entertainment offerings. So,
0:57
we have news about new red room headline
1:00
shows as well as some new shows that are
1:02
going to be seen in the mana as well.
1:04
So, come along with me as we have a look
1:06
at all these sneak peek previews before
1:07
we get to the big launch party which is
1:09
coming up in August. Vsider is the
1:12

1:35
So before we get on to the structural
1:37
changes of what you're going to see on
1:39
Brilliant Lady, the first thing to
1:40
mention are the new fantastic
1:42
entertainment offerings. And this is
1:44
where Virgin Voyages really want you to
1:47
see the differences in each of their
1:48
ships. Even though the ships are all
1:50
very similar, where the experience
1:53
really differs if you're sailing on
1:54
board Scarlet, Valiant, or Resilient is
1:57
in the entertainment available on board.
2:00
This really kicked off when Resilient
2:02
Lady launched in 2023 in Athens in
2:05
Greece, where sailors were the first to
2:07
see some brand new entertainment,
2:09
including Lola's Library and Pesphanany.
2:12
And this was really the biggest
2:13
departure from the entertainment that
2:15
you'd seen historically on Scarlet and
2:17
Valiant. And this was met with
2:19
incredible feedback and Virgin Voyages
2:21
really responded to that by making
2:23
differences to the entertainment on
2:25
Scarlet and Valiant as well. So we've
2:27
seen this with launches of shows like
2:29
It's a Ship Show and Red Room
2:31
experiences like Y2K on Scarlet Lady for
2:34
example. And this is a really good way
2:36
of offering a different experience on
2:38
different ships across the fleet. So
2:40
that brings us on to Brilliant Lady when
2:42
she launches when it comes to the
2:44
entertainment. So let's take it from the
2:45
top and look at what's going to change
2:47
in the Red Room. If you're not familiar
2:49
with Virgin Voyages and how
2:51
entertainment works on board, the Red
2:53
Room is the largest of the entertainment
2:55
venues available. The Red Room is quite
2:58
unique in the fact that it can be
2:59
changed around to suit the style of show
3:02
that's happening at the time. So they
3:04
have flexible seating that they can move
3:06
around. There's large sections of
3:08
staging that they can move in and out.
3:10
It's a very technologically advanced
3:11
space which allows a lot of flexibility
3:13
for these production teams when they
3:15
come in and make brand new shows
3:17
available. So that flexibility can be
3:19
seen in one of the shows that's
3:21
returning for Brilliant Lady and that is
3:24
Dual Reality. Dual Reality is a show
3:26
that launched with Scarlet Lady and
3:28
there's a reason why Dual Reality has
3:30
been chosen to return to the fleet. It's
3:33
a fantastic show which is based around
3:35
the classic story of Romeo and Juliet,
3:37
but it's told in a really unique way
3:39
with incredible acrobatics and feats
3:42
that you wouldn't expect to see on a
3:43
ship. But let's move on to something
3:46
brand new, and that starts off with a
3:48
show called Red Hot. And Red Hot has
3:50
been described as a high energy musical
3:53
which celebrates five decades of Virgin
3:56
Records. So, of course, we haven't seen
3:58
too much about these new shows, but what
4:00
we've heard from Virgin Voyages is that
4:02
this will include fantastic, lively
4:04
choreography and costumes, which
4:06
celebrates those different decades of
4:09
music as we bring it all the way up to
4:11
the present day. Now, from what we
4:13
understand, this will be a theater style
4:15
production show. Joining Red Hot is a
4:18
new show that's called Out of Time. And
4:20
this show in particular sounds really,
4:22
really interesting. Out of Time is going
4:24
to be a narrative-led journey which will
4:26
follow a character called Dr. Victoria
4:29
Vortex. And this promises to mix humor
4:31
and live vocals with some sci-fi
4:34
choreography and costumes as well. Now,
4:36
at this point, Virgin Voyagers haven't
4:38
released enough information for us to
4:39
know whether this is going to be a
4:41
sitdown production theater style show or
4:44
whether it's going to be a little bit
4:45
more akin to something like Pesphanany
4:47
on Resilient Lady or Untitled Dance Show
4:50
Party Thing, which is a production that
4:52
shows on both Scarlet Lady and Valiant
4:54
Lady, where most of the activity and
4:56
choreography happens in the round and it
4:58
feels much more like an immersive
5:00
experience. But Out of Time Itself
5:02
sounds like a really fun adventurefilled
5:04
show. and the team behind it have worked
5:06
on other productions for Virgin Voyages
5:08
as well, including Lola's Library. So,
5:10
if you've ever seen Lola's Library on
5:12
Resilient Lady, you'll kind of know the
5:14
fun and campy atmosphere that Out of
5:17
Time will promise to deliver as well.
5:19
So, those are the three headline shows
5:21
that we know about that will be making
5:23
their way to The Red Room on Brilliant
5:24
Lady. Now, let's leave the Red Room and
5:27
walk through the casino and turn into
5:29
the Mana. If you're new to Virgin
5:31
Voyages, the Mana is the nightclub style
5:33
venue on board. The manor itself has an
5:35
interesting design. It's set across two
5:37
levels. So, the main bar and seating is
5:40
available on level one, and then there's
5:42
a smaller bar and more seating available
5:44
on level two. The mana plays host to
5:47
some more of those intimate shows, as
5:49
well as the club and party nights as
5:52
well. Since Virgin Voyages launched,
5:54
there's been more and more activity
5:56
happening in the manor, including some
5:58
dinner shows. So, shows like this that
6:01
you would have seen already if you've
6:02
been on board. You might have been to
6:04
It's a Ship Show, which is a comedy
6:06
music variety style show. If you've been
6:09
on Scarlet Lady, you might have been
6:11
along to Lol's Supper Club, which is a
6:13
stand-up comedy event, which again
6:15
includes a meal that's served at your
6:17
table. And then finally, if you've been
6:19
on board Resilient Lady, you might well
6:22
have experienced an event called Another
6:24
Rose. Another Rose is fairly unique in
6:26
the fact that it's an upcharge event.
6:28
It's something you have to pay extra to
6:30
attend. And the reason why it's an
6:32
upcharge event is because you get a lot
6:34
more with your experience. So along with
6:37
your meal, you're served alcohol and the
6:39
alcohol is included as part of your
6:41
booking. And the show itself includes a
6:43
lot more interactive elements and the
6:45
cast is larger as well. So you are
6:47
getting a lot in return for that
6:49
upcharge. It's certainly well worth
6:50
doing if you're on Resilient Lady. The
6:53
reason why I mention another rose is
6:55
because the first thing I'm going to
6:56
tell you about the manor on brilliant
6:58
lady is a new show called up with a
7:00
twist. And it's our understanding that
7:02
Up with a Twist will be akin to Another
7:05
Rose where it's an immersive seated
7:07
experience where you're served food but
7:09
crucially the alcohol is included as
7:12
well. So actually it is more along the
7:14
lines of Another Rose than those other
7:16
types of cabaret shows that you'll see
7:18
in the manor. And this one in particular
7:19
we're very excited about because we love
7:21
Another Rose. So we can't wait to see Up
7:24
with a Twist. The show is inspired by
7:26
The Glamour of the Roaring 20s. So for
7:29
this show, the Mana will be transformed
7:32
into Lady Valentina's Emporium of
7:34
Excess, which promises to be a surreal
7:37
supper club. There is going to be a live
7:39
band. So if you've seen a ship show,
7:41
you'll know the live band that Virgin
7:43
Voyagers get on board are absolutely
7:45
fantastic. So really looking forward to
7:47
that with some worldclass vocalists and
7:50
dancers as well. Now we're not sure how
7:52
this is going to work, but they also
7:54
promise that the audience are part of
7:56
the experience and they will help
7:58
navigate how the show will go. The
8:00
production team behind Up with a Twist
8:01
have promised that no two shows will
8:03
ever be the same. So we can't wait to
8:05
see how this plays out. Joining Up with
8:07
a Twist in the Manor is another brand
8:10
new show which is called Murder in the
8:12
Manor. Murder in the Mana is a new show
8:15
that's being developed by No Ceilings,
8:17
which is the production team behind
8:19
Lola's Library. This is inspired by 1980
8:22
style murder mystery films, but they're
8:25
going to bring a light-hearted and fun
8:26
twist to this classic genre. The
8:29
production team have also mentioned that
8:31
they're going to bring a type of escape
8:33
room element into this show as well, so
8:35
be interesting to see how that plays
8:37
out. They've promised this show is going
8:39
to be lighthearted and spooky. It sounds
8:41
like they're not going to take things
8:42
too seriously. This sounds really fun.
8:44
Another new show that's coming to the
8:46
mana is a show called Duets, which is a
8:49
show with a little bit more of a strip
8:51
back approach. From what we understand,
8:53
this is going to be a music show where
8:54
there will be live musicians playing
8:56
smooth jazz. So, we're going to see the
8:58
Mana transformed into a bit of a jazz
9:00
bar. This sounds like it's a really
9:02
great option for those that look at the
9:04
other types of entertainment that I've
9:06
mentioned and think it's all a bit
9:07
fullon. This is a much more subtle and
9:09
subdued style approach to entertainment.
9:12
Now, we can't step away from the mana
9:14
without talking about the resident drag
9:16
queen on board Brilliant Lady. We now
9:19
know that the first diva on board
9:20
Brilliant Lady will be Dixie Crystals,
9:23
who is a fantastic drag performer from
9:25
the United States, and she's already
9:27
made a huge splash in the world of
9:29
Virgin Voyages. And she's bringing a
9:32
brand new Diva show to Brilliant Lady
9:34
called The Diva Goes West. Again, we're
9:37
going to know so much more about this
9:38
new drag show when the ship launches
9:40
later this year, but for right now, all
9:42
we know is that this is going to be a
9:44
country and western themed experience
9:46
with music, live singing, comedy. It
9:49
promises to be absolutely incredible,
9:51
and we can't wait to see this. Now, I
9:53
realize I've just rattled off a huge
9:55
number of different events that will
9:56
happen on Brilliant Lady. If you'd like
9:58
to read more about anything that I've
10:00
mentioned or if you just like to follow
10:02
along and see how these shows pan out
10:04
when the ship launches later this year,
10:06
do follow vinsider.com.
10:09
We have pages for each of the shows on
10:11
board Brilliant Lady, but also each of
10:12
the shows that are available across the
10:14
entire fleet. So, if you have a voyage
10:17
planned on Scarlet, Valiant, or
10:19
Resilient, you can go on vvincside.com
10:22
and see all of the events that are
10:24
available on the ship that you're
10:25
sailing on. So, you can really plan
10:27
ahead and decide which shows sound like
10:29
something that you'd enjoy. Now, we've
10:31
talked about entertainment. Let's move
10:32
on to something even more fun. Let's
10:34
talk about the parties at Brilliant Lady
10:37
will be hosting. First of all, I'm going
10:38
to mention briefly that Scarlet Knight
10:41
will of course be returning to Brilliant
10:43
Lady. So, we will still have that red
10:45
themed night. If you want to learn more
10:47
about Scarlet Knight, we have a video
10:48
telling you everything you need to know
10:50
about it. That's just went out a couple
10:52
of weeks ago, which I'll link at the end
10:54
of this video if you want to go and
10:55
watch that. But Scarlet Knight promises
10:57
to be a little bit different on
10:58
Brilliant Lady. And that's because some
11:00
of the Brilliant Lady itineries will
11:03
take the ship to some colder climates.
11:05
And what that means is that the big pool
11:08
party that you would generally see at
11:09
the end of a Scarlet Night sometimes
11:11
needs to be brought inside. And this
11:14
already happens. So, some of those
11:15
experiences on Scarlet Night are brought
11:17
inside if the weather isn't great. But
11:20
from what we understand, Virgin Voyagers
11:22
are planning ahead with this and making
11:24
sure that they can really deliver a
11:25
fantastic Scarlet Night every night that
11:28
it has to be done inside. So, we've
11:30
heard they're making some changes to
11:32
make sure that the entertainment that's
11:33
offered inside is just as good and just
11:36
as fun as it would be if the pool party
11:38
was being hosted. Now, of course, we
11:40
don't know what this looks like in
11:41
practice. We'll learn more about that
11:43
later on this year as Brilliant Lady
11:45
launches. Some things that we do know
11:47
when it comes to partying is that there
11:49
will be two new parties available on
11:51
Brilliant Lady. And if you've sailed
11:53
with Virgin Voyages in the past, you
11:55
will know that the parties on Virgin
11:57
Voyages are next to nothing. So, you
11:59
might have seen the PJ party where
12:01
everyone wears PJs. You might have seen
12:03
Club Rubik, which is the 80s theme party
12:06
where everyone dons some neon and
12:08
sweatbs to join in the fun. Or you might
12:10
have heard about we fancy which is the
12:11
golden glittering party. So what will
12:14
brilliant lady offer when it comes to
12:16
these parties? So first up is a party
12:19
called electric. And what we know so far
12:21
is that this will be a really fun neon
12:24
themed experience where with the help of
12:26
a black light in the manor everything
12:28
will be glowing neon. There'll be UV
12:30
reactive face paint and costumes from
12:33
the cast. We've heard rumors about a
12:35
jellyfish parade that's going to happen
12:37
during this event as well. and something
12:39
about a glowing photo booth. So, it'll
12:41
be interesting to see how that all pans
12:43
out. It sounds like a really interesting
12:44
idea for a new party. And then secondly,
12:47
we have a party called Disco
12:48
Re-Imagined, which takes the baton from
12:51
another party that happened on Virgin
12:53
Voyages called Studio 72, which is a
12:56
party that's themed around disco music.
12:58
So, it promises to have acrobatics
13:01
involved. You're invited to dress in
13:03
retro flare for this party as well.
13:05
Sounds like a really fun event. Studio
13:07
72 has always been a strong sale of
13:09
favorites. So, it'll be interesting to
13:11
see how it will evolve. Now, that's all
13:13
the brand new stuff that's happening
13:14
when it comes to entertainment and
13:16
parties for Brilliant Lady. But that's
13:18
not everything. They are, of course,
13:20
bringing back favorites that you will
13:22
see across the rest of the fleet. So,
13:24
don't worry. things like the PJ party,
13:26
the Grog Walk, karaoke with the
13:28
Happenings cast, all the food and drink
13:30
events that happen normally, and also
13:32
some of those shows that you would
13:34
expect to see across the fleet as well,
13:36
including Love, Love, Love with the
13:38
Hostess. The inaugural hostess on
13:40
Brilliant Lady will of course be Abby
13:42
the Hostess. So, she'll be bringing her
13:44
version of Love, Love to the Mana. So,
13:46
we can't wait to see that. So, do make
13:48
sure you follow along and subscribe to
13:50
this channel if you haven't already to
13:52
make sure you don't miss a thing. Now,
13:54
before I get into the big structural
13:56
changes and the changes to the venues
13:58
and cabins on board, I just have a quick
14:01
plea to help our YouTube channel. So, if
14:04
you've made it this far, I really hope
14:06
that this has really helped you plan and
14:07
you found this really useful. Now, we
14:09
want to make more videos like this. And
14:12
the best way for you to support that is
14:14
to make sure that you give us a like and
14:16
also something as simple as leaving a
14:18
comment on this video will help us reach
14:21
more and more people. So, why don't you
14:23
leave us a really quick comment telling
14:24
us what you're excited most about seeing
14:26
on Brilliant Lady? That would be a
14:28
really great way of helping support the
14:30
work that we do here at VV Insider. Now,
14:33
let's talk about what's actually
14:34
tangibly different when it comes to
14:36
Brilliant Lady, the ship herself. So,
14:38
the biggest change and the thing that
14:40
really sets Brilliant Lady apart from
14:42
the rest of the ships will be the
14:45
ability for Brilliant Lady to pass
14:47
through the Panama Canal. What they've
14:49
done is they've structurally brought the
14:51
lifeboats closer to the size of the
14:53
ship. So where normally they would jut
14:55
out, they're actually on a new system
14:57
which brings them further into the ship,
14:59
which makes the overall width of the
15:01
ship slightly narrower than it would be
15:03
if the lifeboats were in their normal
15:05
position. So although this is a really
15:07
subtle change, it makes a huge
15:09
difference in the itineries that
15:11
brilliant lady can explore because it
15:13
means she now falls under the limit of
15:15
what would be required to pass through
15:17
the Panama Canal and get into the west
15:20
coast of North America. Now, what we
15:22
know so far is that that will enable
15:24
itineraries such as California, Alaska,
15:27
the west coast of Canada, but it could
15:29
have much further implications in the
15:31
future if Brilliant Lady, for example,
15:33
wanted to make her way to Hawaii or back
15:36
to Australia or New Zealand, and that's
15:38
a possibility as well. There is, of
15:40
course, been nothing officially
15:41
confirmed around that, but the
15:43
possibility is there. So, that's very
15:45
exciting indeed. Now, in order to
15:47
accommodate this change to the
15:49
lifeboats, they've also had to make a
15:51
change to the cabins that are around
15:52
this area as well. So, the cabins that
15:55
normally would be just behind the
15:56
lifeboats are the limited view sea
15:59
terrace cabins. And the reason why they
16:01
were limited view in the first place was
16:03
because there was a lifeboat in front of
16:04
them or a piece of engineering. So,
16:06
what's happened with these limited view
16:08
sea terraces on Brilliant Lady is
16:11
they've now been slightly adapted and
16:13
they have a new name, the slightly
16:15
smaller sea terrace cabin. Now, when we
16:17
say slightly smaller sea terrace, what
16:20
Virgin Voyages means by that is that the
16:22
sea terrace or the balcony itself is
16:24
slightly smaller. So the room itself or
16:26
the cabin itself will still be the same
16:28
size as it normally would be, but in
16:30
order to accommodate those lifeboats
16:32
coming in slightly, the balcony has had
16:34
to shrink a little bit to accommodate
16:36
that. They're not going to be able to
16:38
comfortably accommodate the furniture
16:40
that would normally be on a balcony. So
16:42
to get around the limits of this floor
16:44
space, what they're doing instead is
16:46
hanging two of those iconic red
16:48
hammocks. So, if you do like those
16:50
hammocks and you found that one isn't
16:52
enough because maybe you and your
16:54
partner both want to relax in at the
16:56
same time, now is your opportunity with
16:58
this slightly smaller sea terrace cabin,
17:00
which will be exclusively available on
17:03
Brilliant Lady. Other than that small
17:05
change with those cabins, it's our
17:07
understanding that the cabins and the
17:09
suit available on Brilliant Lady will be
17:11
exactly as they are for all the
17:13
remaining ships. A few other structural
17:16
changes or changes to venues that we've
17:18
been made aware of so far are changes
17:20
around the roundabout. So the roundabout
17:23
is the atrium style area on Virgin
17:26
Voyages. The Virgin Voyagers fleet don't
17:28
have that huge opulent atrium style area
17:31
that you might come accustomed to on
17:33
other cruise lines, but instead they
17:35
have a huge marble spiraling staircase
17:38
which is surrounded by small seating
17:40
areas, a bar, and also a place where you
17:43
can book your next voyage. Well, for
17:45
Brilliant Lady, they're making some
17:47
slight adaptations to this. And one of
17:49
the reasons is something that I
17:51
mentioned earlier where they're making a
17:53
more accessible internal Scarlet Knight.
17:56
So, because more activities are
17:57
happening inside the ship, the
17:59
roundabout is likely to be one of those
18:01
areas where you'll see some of that
18:03
Scarlet Knight entertainment happening.
18:05
And in order to accommodate that,
18:07
they're improving the visibility around
18:09
the roundabout, so you can see more of
18:11
the action happening. If you've been on
18:12
the other ships, you'll know that
18:14
there's a big red plastic table that's
18:16
sometimes used for things like shore
18:18
excursions. Maybe on the first day you
18:20
can go up there and ask about dining
18:22
reservations, but generally it's unused
18:24
most of the time. So, Virgin Voyagers
18:26
are taking it away and instead they're
18:28
going to replace it with a nice relaxed
18:30
seating area which almost looks like a
18:33
lounge or a library. We know from our
18:34
own experience that people love to find
18:37
places to sit and relax, especially
18:39
during a sea day. And this will extend
18:41
the possibilities to be able to sit
18:43
around the roundabout. And because it's
18:45
central to the ship, it's a lovely
18:46
people watching area as well. If you
18:48
want to sit down and just have a nice
18:49
drink, or if you just want to find a
18:51
nice quiet place to sit and read your
18:53
book, for example, it's a great place to
18:55
do that, too. Now, crossing over to the
18:57
other side of the roundabout, we get to
18:59
the Draft House. The Draft House is
19:01
exactly what it sounds like. It's a pub
19:04
style bar with draft beers available.
19:06
It's also sometimes used as a venue for
19:08
some of the happenings events, things
19:10
like events with the artists where
19:12
you're doing small paintings, things
19:13
like that. Well, this space will look
19:15
quite different on Brilliant Lady. Some
19:17
of the dividing partitions you might
19:20
have seen on board the other ships, they
19:22
are going to be removed, which will open
19:24
up this space quite nicely to allow more
19:26
seating and better visibility for those
19:29
events that I've mentioned earlier. This
19:31
also opens up the DraftHouse bar a
19:33
little bit and makes it more visible,
19:35
which I think will be a really good
19:36
change. They do intend to change the
19:38
Draft House bar slightly. So, what
19:40
they're going to do is they're going to
19:41
make coffee and juices available from
19:43
the Draft House as well. This is a
19:45
really welcome change cuz historically
19:47
there's only been two places to reliably
19:50
get coffee on board, and that is the
19:52
Grounds Club, which is on deck 7, and
19:54
the Ground Club 2, which is located in
19:57
the galley. And sometimes the cues for
19:59
coffee, especially in the morning when
20:01
people are getting off the ship, are
20:03
really, really long. So sometimes if
20:04
you're waiting to go on a shore thing or
20:06
a shore excursion, you're waiting in
20:08
that line and you're thinking, there's
20:10
not enough time to get this coffee
20:11
before I need to get off the ship. Well,
20:13
now this solves that problem a little
20:15
bit by opening up a new venue to get
20:17
coffee from. And finally, one of the
20:19
biggest material changes that you will
20:21
notice on Brilliant Lady is the new
20:24
dining concept for Razled Dazzle. So the
20:27
idea of having different cuisines
20:28
available in Razledazzle started with
20:31
Scarlet Lady as she launched Post Dry
20:34
Dock last year and that's where we found
20:36
that Scarlet Lady was launching with a
20:38
new restaurant called Lucky Lotus by
20:41
Razled Dazzle which has some really
20:43
delicious Panasian themed cuisine
20:45
available. And this was our first
20:47
indication that Razledazzle is going to
20:50
be that venue of choice for when those
20:52
ships go into dry dock or they make a
20:54
change. It's going to be a different
20:56
world cuisine that you can experience on
20:58
board these individual ships. So,
21:00
because Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady
21:03
haven't had a dry dock yet, they still
21:05
have the normal standard Razledazzle.
21:08
But because Brilliant Lady is launching
21:10
brand new, they have brought a new
21:12
dining concept called Rojo by
21:15
Razledazzle. Rojo is going to be themed
21:18
around the food of Spain. So, we're
21:20
going to see exclusive menu items on
21:22
Brilliant Lady like paella, grilled
21:25
octopus, croquettes, tortillas, and of
21:28
course, the razzledazzle churros make a
21:30
return on Brilliant Lady, but this time
21:32
with a much more authentic Spanish
21:34
theme. The concept art that's been
21:36
released from Rojo by Razledazzle looks
21:39
absolutely stunning. We can't wait to
21:41
see this place in person. And likewise,
21:43
the shots of the food that have come out
21:45
from Virgin Voyages look incredible.
21:48
This looks like a really exciting
21:50
addition for the already incredible
21:52
dining options that are available on
21:54
Virgin Voyages. So, Brilliant Lady will
21:56
be the perfect ship to sail on if you're
21:58
a foodie and you want to explore
22:00
everything that Virgin Voyages has to
22:02
offer. So, that is everything we know so
22:05
far about Brilliant Lady before she
22:07
launches. We of course are building up
22:09
more and more of a picture of what to
22:11
expect on Brilliant Lady as we get
22:13
closer to her launch. And that launch is
22:15
going to kick off on the 20th of August
22:18
in Portmouth. There is an exclusive
22:20
launch event that's going to happen in
22:22
the UK. Right now, it's a completely
22:24
soldout event. They were selling tickets
22:26
on Virgin Red, which is Virgin's loyalty
22:29
reward scheme. We thankfully managed to
22:31
grab some tickets ourselves. So, we
22:33
can't wait to see Brilliant Lady in
22:35
person. We're going to be getting
22:36
footage from that event put straight
22:38
onto YouTube as soon as we have it. So,
22:40
make sure you're subscribed to this
22:42
channel to see what happens at that
22:44
Brilliant Lady launch night. Brilliant
22:46
Lady officially launches on the 5th of
22:48
September in New York City as her
22:50
mermaid maiden voyage. So, we're really
22:52
looking forward to seeing what comes
22:53
from that as well. This is an incredibly
22:56
exciting time for Virgin Voyages. We're
22:58
very excited to see what happens over
23:00
the next few weeks. One thing that we
23:02
know is pending is the full announcement
23:04
for the happenings cast that will be
23:06
launching Brilliant Lady. We already
23:08
know three of them. We know that Abby is
23:09
going to be the hostess. We know that
23:11
Dixie is going to be the diva. And we
23:12
know that Big Lou is going to be the
23:14
gamer as well. But we have our ears to
23:16
the ground to know the rest of the
23:18
Happenings cast. And we're going to let
23:20
you know exclusively on bvincider.com
23:23
when that happens. So make sure you
23:25
follow our socials for that as well. And
23:27
don't forget, if you're looking to sail
23:29
on Brilliant Lady yourself, there's no
23:31
better way to do it than to book your
23:33
next Virgin Voyage with
