History
AI-generated

Brilliant Lady is a cruise ship built by Fincantieri to the same design as Virgin Voyages' earlier vessels Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady. The ship is notable for being the first and only vessel in the Virgin Voyages fleet capable of traversing the Panama Canal, providing access to the west coast of the United States and Alaska. Operating adults-only cruises, Brilliant Lady entered service following delays caused by material shortages.
