Virgin Voyages introduces Alaska Summer Season Pass
With Virgin Voyages’ new 2026 Alaska Summer Season Pass, luxury travelers can explore Alaska at a slow, restorative pace on 30 days of back-to-back cruises aboard Brilliant Lady — a ship where every space and experience is designed exclusively for grown-ups.
“Alaska is one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth,” said Virgin Voyages CEO Nirmal Saverimuttu. “Experiencing it aboard Brilliant Lady means you get the adventure without sacrificing comfort, style or that Virgin sense of discovery — and without a single child on board. This is what vacation is supposed to feel like.”

The experience combines premium comfort and adults-only experiences with glaciers, wildlife watching, dramatic landscapes, and unhurried exploration in one of the most sought-after cruise regions. Virgin Voyages’ Alaska sailings include visits to popular ports such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, and Icy Point Strait, as well scenic cruising to the Inside Passage, Hubbard Glacier, and Tracy Arm Fjord.
The 30-day season pass is designed for travelers seeking quiet luxury and adventure in a kid-free environment.
“People want vacations that actually restore them,” said Virgin Voyages Vice President of Growth Stephen Hopkins. “A month in Alaska aboard Brilliant Lady is exactly that — adventure, beauty and adult-only exploration in one of the most spectacular places on the planet.”
