Virgin Voyages to sail Alaska itineraries in 2026

Virgin Voyages will sail 17 Alaska itineraries in summer 2026.

The line’s newest ship Brilliant Lady will sail seven to 12-night routes from Seattle and Vancouver between May and September.

Ports of call include Ketchikan, Sitka and Prince Rupert (British Columbia), and will see the ship sail through the Tracy Arm Fjord.

Pre-purchase of limited Alaska itineraries for Virgin Voyages loyalty programme members, called a ‘Front(ier) of the Line pass’, sold out in May 2024.

Presale for Alaska routes opens on October 31 and general sale launches on November 13.

Brilliant Lady will debut in September 2025 in North America with voyages from New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Seattle.

The ship will also complete a 16-night sailing through the Panama Canal.

Virgin Voyages chief executive Nirmal Saverimuttu said: “We have incredibly high repeat rates, so our sailors are always challenging us to seek new horizons; they always want to know ‘where else can we sail with Virgin?’

“This brand is charting new paths, and the sold-out response to our Front(ier) of the Line passes earlier this year showed us just how sought after our Alaskan itineraries are.

“We continue to reach for the high seas with our itineraries, with Brilliant Lady being no exception. Soon our sailors can visit one of the world’s most incredible destinations on the number one cruise line, all while enjoying new and exciting artists, chefs and musicians that bring the Virgin vibe.”
