Virgin’s Brilliant Lady Debuts in Los Angeles

More than 2,000 guests gathered for an inside look at the elements that have defined Virgin Voyages with a hosted media dinner at Rojo complemented by curated seatings across Pink Agave, Gunbae, Extra Virgin, The Wake and Test Kitchen. The milestone moment welcomed media personality, singer and influencer Dixie D’Amelio and actress Brec Bassinger — alongside media, influencers, First Mates and devoted Sailors, ushering in a new era for the brand in California.

Throughout the afternoon, guests explored at their own pace, moving between a First Mate Welcome Show for travel advisors, intimate Secret Vintage wine tastings and interactive moments like CTRL + ALT + DELUSION, all punctuated by pop-up performances from the Happenings Cast.

Brilliant Lady set out on her LA MerMaiden voyage April 7th, marking a pivotal expansion for Virgin Voyages. She now begins a season of West Coast sailings, including itineraries to the Mexican Riviera and Baja California, before heading north for the brand’s first-ever Alaska season.
