Virgin Voyages has announced that its newest ship - Brilliant Lady, will include Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) in her West Coast USA itinerary, debuting from Los Angeles CA in Spring 2026.
Brilliant Lady features 17 decks, 20 onboard restaurants, and modern amenities. Passengers can relax in state-of-the-art staterooms or opt for luxurious designer suites. The ship’s adaptable design enables a variety of voyages, including expeditions through Alaska’s glaciers and fjords.

After stops in major ports such as Miami and Seattle, the Brilliant Lady will transit the Panama Canal (RepositionCruises.com) entering the Pacific Ocean and marking Virgin's expansion into this region.
Currently, Virgin operates a fleet of three ships.
