Virgin Voyages has opened bookings for four new California Coast & Mexico cruises aboard Brilliant Lady in November 2027. The new 3-night and 4-night itineraries depart from Los Angeles, visiting Catalina Island and Ensenada.

Four New California Coast & Mexico Cruises

All four cruises sail round-trip from Los Angeles aboard Brilliant Lady. The 4-night itineraries include Catalina Island and Ensenada, while the 3-night options focus on Ensenada with time at sea.

Departing Los Angeles on Saturday, November 6, Brilliant Lady begins with a full day at sea before arriving at Catalina Island on Monday, November 8.

Sailors can explore the waterfront town of Avalon, visit its shops and restaurants, or enjoy the island’s coastal scenery. The following day, Brilliant Lady visits Ensenada, Mexico, where sailors can explore the waterfront, sample local food or take a trip to La Bufadora.

The ship returns to Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 10.
