Winter is almost over in the northern hemisphere, and what better time to think ahead for winter cruises in 2026/27? While feeling the chill in winter 2025, it is good to plan a voyage to warmer environments, starting with winter next year. Meanwhile, Virgin Voyages has announced the new winter 2026/27 cruise itineraries for Brilliant Lady, including short getaways and extended voyages.

Think ahead to winter 2026/27 with Virgin Voyages

Virgin Voyages has revealed a selection of cruises in winter 2026 that will warm a traveler’s heart just thinking about them. Next year, say goodbye to cold, snowy weather while heading off to the sunshine on a cruise on Brilliant Lady. The following is a selection to choose from:

4-Night Sailings

For those travelers with little free time, but needing a quick tropical break, the 4-night getaway cruises are ideal. The short cruises maximize adventure in minimal time by offering new, onboard entertainment, premium dining experiences, and the best Caribbean destinations. These voyages are ideal for taking a break from winter wear, changing into swimwear and enjoying cocktails on the beach.

10-Night Voyages

For those with more time to spare, wanting a more comprehensive cruise experience, 10-night voyages visit up to six Caribbean ports, while offering extended stays at exotic destinations.

The longer itineraries on Brilliant Lady offer guests more time to explore different cultures while visiting multiple Caribbean islands with no additional flights beyond Miami.

Themed Cruises

Holiday-centric voyages are a great option, booking with Virgin Voyages for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s or Valentine’s Day, perfect for couples and families looking for a treat. These voyages offer celebrations and holiday-related treats at sea, offering guests a chance to enjoy festive occasions in a warm, tropical paradise, rather than back home in the cold.

Visiting The Beach Club at Bimini

Most of Virgin Voyages’ winter cruises include one full day at The Beach Club at Bimini. This signature destination features clean, white-sand beaches, crystal-clear water, and DJ entertainment. This exclusive experience is a private paradise for Virgin Voyages guests.

Benefits of early booking with Virgin Voyages

Early booking is encouraged by Virgin Voyages to ensure guests secure the best deals and options as follows:

• Lowest fares with introductory pricing and a Best Price Guarantee
• An additional 10 percent savings when paying in full 365+ days before sailing
• First choice of cabin selection, from RockStar Quarters to Sea Terraces
• Group discounts and benefits when booking 180+ days in advance
• Special offers for Sailing Club members

These Brilliant Lady winter voyages, ranging from 4 to 10 nights, offer guests a refreshing alternative to traditional winter experiences. Heading out to sea offers sun-soaked days and clear, starry nights rather than winter blues back home.
