Join us as we set sail on Virgin Voyages’ BRAND NEW Brilliant Lady on her very first voyage! From embarkation day in Portsmouth, UK, we’re sailing across the Atlantic to New York City for her MerMaiden season — and we were lucky enough to be onboard before anyone else! Come along with us as we show you what it’s really like to board Virgin Voyages’ newest ship, and because we're nice, we'll give you a quick ship tour of whats new. From that first step onboard Brilliant Lady to sailing out of Portsmouth, we’ll give you a sailor’s-eye view of this exclusive cruise. In this video we’ll show you: ✨ The brand new restaurant Rojo by Razzle Dazzle – a Spanish-inspired twist with elevated tapas and shared plates ✨ The redesigned Roundabout atrium and refreshed Draught Haus ✨ The stunning panoramic glass viewing area at the Athletic Club ✨ The pool changes that completely shocked us! This itinerary sails from Portsmouth, UK, with stops in La Coruña (Spain), Ponta Delgada (Azores), and Halifax, Nova Scotia, before arriving in New York City. If you’re curious about Virgin Voyages embarkation, the changes on Brilliant Lady, or just love following along on a cruise adventure, this video is packed with first looks, surprises, and the excitement of sailing Virgin’s newest ship!
