Virgin Voyages is happy to announce that their 4th ladyship will be officially joining the epic fleet by the name Brilliant Lady.

Brilliant Lady is being constructed by Fincantieri and will enter service in 2023. Before then, the ship will reach some significant construction milestones, including the much-anticipated sea trials. The ship will be in the same class as her sister ships, the cruise line has not yet revealed a specific such as itineraries and features. The mermaid design is also yet to be revealed.

Like her three sisters who’ve come before, company has been incredibly thoughtful about selecting her name. Brilliance, which means both radiance and exceptional talent and intelligence, was purposefully chosen for the duality of its meaning.

So while it’s a seafaring nod to the shimmering seven seas, this name goes far beyond the vivid, incandescent glow of the sea and the inevitable post-vacation glow we set out to give you. Our Brilliant Lady represents the smart and boundary-pushing minds of women around the world — women unafraid of their own intelligence and unafraid to boldly own it. 

The inspirational power of being not only aware of your intelligence, but deeply proud and vocal about it.

The ship will be 110,000 gross tons and have a guest capacity of 2,700 at double occupancy. The ship will, of course, be for adults only.
