Virgin Voyages Cancels Select Valiant Lady Sailings for Winter 2025/2026
Virgin Voyages has canceled select Valiant Lady sailings for Winter 2025/2026, offering impacted travelers the option to rebook on Brilliant Lady or receive a refund.
Virgin Voyages has canceled several longer itineraries on Valiant Lady scheduled for late 2025 and early 2026. While the cruise line has not provided an official reason, these changes are likely due to lower-than-expected demand. Virgin Voyages has adjusted its itineraries in the past to better align with traveler interest and booking trends.

- December 2, 2025 – Cartagena & Caribbean Faves

Sailors booked on these canceled voyages have two main options:

Those who choose FVC and rebook within 60 days on Valiant Lady’s new 6- to 8-night itineraries from San Juan will receive $100 USD in Sailor Loot per cabin. These updated sailings will be available starting March 19, 2025, and include:
