Alaska: Glacial Fjords & Coastal Views

June 24 – July 1, 2027

Discover Alaska... Reimagined.

Forget everything you think you know about cruising.

Virgin Voyages has redefined the traditional cruise experience, and now it's bringing that award-winning adults-only concept to one of the most spectacular destinations on Earth—Alaska.

Towering glaciers. Snow-capped mountains. Whales breaching beside the ship. Bald eagles soaring overhead. Charming waterfront towns rich in Native Alaskan culture. Every day brings a new adventure, while every evening welcomes you back to the luxury and comfort of Brilliant Lady.

There are no crowded buffets here. Instead, you'll enjoy 20+ made-to-order restaurants, all included in your voyage. Savor everything from premium steak and fresh seafood to Korean barbecue, Mediterranean cuisine, handmade pasta, and late-night favorites—all without worrying about dining packages or assigned seating.

When you're not exploring Alaska's breathtaking ports, your days at sea are yours to enjoy. Relax in Virgin's signature hammock on your private Sea Terrace, unwind by the pool, indulge in a spa treatment, join a complimentary yoga or fitness class, or simply watch glaciers drift by with your favorite drink in hand.

One of the highlights of your journey is scenic cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord, where towering blue glaciers, cascading waterfalls, harbor seals, bald eagles, and the possibility of whale sightings create an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself putting your camera down for a moment—just to take it all in.

As the sun sets, Brilliant Lady comes alive with world-class entertainment, live music, rooftop cocktails, and unforgettable evenings designed exclusively for adults. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, every day feels effortless.

This isn't just another Alaska cruise.

It's an unforgettable journey through the Last Frontier—experienced the Virgin way, and shared with new friends through Via Rosa Experiences.

  • Our voyages require Sailors to have a valid passport with an expiration date at least 6 months after the voyage end date. Additionally, depending on your country of citizenship, certain ports may also require a visa for entry.

    However, we understand that spontaneous getaways sometimes occur without sufficient time for passport arrangements. If you fall into this category and you are sailing out of Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle, or New York on an eligible closed-loop voyage, and are a United States citizen, we can make an exception to the passport requirement. In such cases, you will need to present one of the following documents:

    • Original valid US Passport

    • Original valid US Passport Card

    • Original valid Trusted Traveler Card (NEXUS, FAST)

    Or one of the below combinations of documents:

    • Original or copy of your state-issued birth certificate AND a physical Government-issued photo ID

      • Puerto Rico birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010 are not acceptable

      • Hospital-issued birth certificates are not acceptable

    • Original Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the Department of State AND a physical Government-issued photo ID

    • Original Certificate of Naturalization issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services AND a physical Government-issued photo ID

    In the unlikely event of a medical emergency or unexpected departure from the vessel, a passport will be necessary. Please keep in mind, the above guidelines are based on government regulations, which are subject to change at any time.

  • Final payment is typically due at least 120 day before travel. Please refer to your reservation confirmation. You can also email info@viarosaexperiences.com

  • Most providers let you buy coverage anytime before you leave, but waiting until the last minute severely limits your choices. Please refer to your terms and conditions received with your reservation confirmation or email info@viarosaexpereinces.com

  • If you'd like to finance your vacation using Flex Pay, simply indicate your interest in the reservation form. Via Rosa Experiences will submit your information through our authorized Flex Pay partner, and you'll receive a secure link via text message to complete your application directly with Flex Pay. Once your application has been approved and finalized, Via Rosa Experiences will be notified so we can complete your reservation.

  • That's perfectly okay! You do not need to have a roommate selected when you submit your reservation request. However, a roommate must be confirmed by the final payment deadline. If a roommate has not been assigned by that time, you will be responsible for the full cost of the stateroom based on single occupancy.

  • While Via Rosa Experiences does not book airfare, we are happy to assist with pre- and post-cruise hotel accommodations to help make your travel experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
