Virgin Voyages reveals entertainment lineup for new cruise ship
Brilliant Lady will debut in New York City this fall with a “shipload” of new cruise entertainment.
Adults-only cruise line Virgin Voyages is launching a brand-new ship, Brilliant Lady, this fall and with it will come an array of new shows designed specifically for the new lady ship.
The fourth and final ship in the Virgin Voyages fleet, Brilliant Lady will set sail on her maiden voyage in September from New York City. The ship’s inaugural season will be a North American tour featuring a series of longer itineraries of up to 14 nights.

During her inaugural season, Brilliant Lady will sail from New York City to Bermuda and Canada; Miami to the ABC Islands – Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao; Los Angeles to Mexico; and Seattle to Alaska. The ship will also take a journey through the Panama Canal to Costa Rica and Guatemala.
As the lady ship embarks on her grand North American tour, passengers will have the opportunity to experience a diverse lineup of new shows that are exclusive to the new ship.
Developed as a “manifestation” of passenger feedback that requested more comedy, more music, and more genuinely immersive storytelling, Brilliant Lady’s entertainment promises something for type of “Sailor,” as Virgin Voyages calls its passengers.

Brilliant Lady will feature new dinner show, time-travel musical
Brilliant Lady’s shows and events will include:
- Up With a Twist - This all-new dinner show is a supper club for the adventurous. Dine elegantly while a live band, dancers, and world-class vocalists put a modern spin on vintage tunes — and stay ready because the end of the show changes every night, according to choices made by you.
- Red Hot: A celebration of the Virgin brand and the playfully rebellious spirit of its founder. Expect thrilling choreography, hits from Virgin Records artists, and gems from the label’s video archives. (*Show title in development.)
Out of Time: Take a wild ride through time, from the Paleolithic era to the roaring ’20s and into a far-distant future. Song and dance transport you through this musical-comedy race to fix a busted time machine! (*Show title in development.) - Duets: A classic sit-on-a-stool-and-sing event. Soak in the ambiance of the world’s best-loved duets, newly arranged in jazz style — without losing their original Motown, classic rock, or contemporary flavor.
- Electric: Virgin Voyages’ take on a glow party, complete with neon clothing, and UV-reactive everything. Join the jellyfish parade, smear on some face paint, and take pics in a special glowy photobooth.
- Scarlet Night…reimagined: It’s a Sailor favorite, the signature evening on every itinerary Virgin Voyages’ ships sail, a night that brings everyone on board together in celebration of the collective experience they’re taking part in. Now, the cruise line is updating Scarlet Night with new choreography, new songs, and new moments to share together.
More shows will be announced as Brilliant Lady’s debut approaches.
