Virgin Voyages has confirmed details of its first Alaska season with Brilliant Lady to sail 17 voyages in Far North waters in the northern hemisphere summer of 2026. Between May and September 2026, peak orca-spotting season, the mega-ship liner will operate the new seven to 12 night itineraries which will depart from Seattle and Vancouver to take in the region’s rugged beauty and diverse wildlife. The 12 destinations will include Ketchikan, Sitka and the Tracy Arm Fjord. The new program comes on the back of Virgin Voyages commitment to “charting new paths” with the sell-out of its Front(ier) of the Line passes in May year showing high demand for Alaskan itineraries, according to CEO Nirmal Saverimuttu.
