Daytime Activities on Brilliant Lady

On Virgin Voyages' Brilliant Lady, your daily schedule isn't slipped under your cabin door – it's all on the app, and they encourage you to use it. The app's fantastic, not reliant on Wi-Fi, and details activities, events, shows, and bookings for classes like Yoga or Pilates. During the day, The Roundabout hosts a DJ and provides ample seating for people-watching. Workout classes, including themed ones like '80s workouts, are available on deck and in the Manor. The Social Club offers free games like air hockey and foosball, while The Arcade has classic video games like Space Invaders. Want to mix things up? Try a mixology, coffee crafting class, or a Squid Ink tattoo. Pro Tip: Fitness classes fill up fast; book early.

Nightlife Aboard Brilliant Lady

At night, the ship buzzes with live music, DJ sets, dancing, and spontaneous performances in various public spaces. Venture into The Dock, and you might witness impromptu musical performances or the band playing the engaging show Phantom Tales, a mix of micro-plays and soulful songs. Additionally, Scarlet Lady features the resident sexologist Dr. A in the late-night lounge Never Sleep Alone, an interactive show that pushes boundaries and involves the audience in playful and daring ways.

The ship also offers a vibrant nightlife scene with a DJ spinning tunes in The Roundabout. The Casino, located on Deck 6, offers various games and promotions, including Scarlet Night, where guests are encouraged to wear red and join the party on the pool deck after the top-deck show, Odysea.

Theatre and Entertainment

The Red Room, not your typical theatre, boasts flexible seating arrangements that adapt to each show. We witnessed Duel Reality, a spectacular performance blending West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet with street dancing and acrobatics, creating an immersive and thrilling experience.

The Manor, the ship's nightclub, stands out with its double-height space, dance floor, and varied entertainment, hosting live bands and DJ sets.

Bars and Nightlife Selection

Brilliant Lady offers a plethora of bars and lounges. Richard's Rooftop is a VIP space with craft cocktails and a relaxed ambience. Draught Haus, below a circular stairway, serves various beers and unique concoctions.

The Groupie is perfect for karaoke enthusiasts, boasting private karaoke booths. Grounds Club offers top-notch coffee and pastries, ideal for a morning pick-me-up.

Outdoor Activities and Relaxation

The Aquatic Club on Deck 15 features pools and hot tubs, though the main pool is more for lounging than swimming. There is ample space for sunbathing, with both loungers and private cabanas. While pricey, the Redemption Spa's Thermal Suite offers various calming experiences, from mudrooms to saunas and breathtaking views.

Fitness and Wellness

Virgin goes all out with fitness, offering dedicated spaces like Bike and Burn and Build & Balance for workouts. They've even installed a bright-red running track above Deck 16 and equipped the ship with basketball courts, outdoor training, and a boxing ring.
