Virgin Voyages’s latest vessel, Brilliant Lady, will hit the high seas beginning September 2025 and then head to Miami in October, officially kicking off the winter season in the Caribbean. This will be a great opportunity for Floridians to come aboard the newest ship in the fleet and discover the world’s No. 1 cruise line. Keep an eye on Virgin Voyages’s website for early booking opportunities and special promotions for inaugural sailings.
