Alaskan Glacier Blues & Coastal Views

From skyline to shoreline, this unforgettable adventure blends the buzz of Seattle with the breathtaking beauty of Alaska.

Your journey begins in the heart of the Emerald City, where you’ll spend three nights soaking up the sights, sounds, and flavours of one of America’s coolest coastal hubs. I’ve included a guided “Taste of Pike Place Market” tour to give you a real flavour of the city – from artisan bites to foodie favourites.

Then it’s time to switch city streets for coastal peaks as you step aboard Brilliant Lady, Virgin Voyages’ brand-new, adults-only ship for a seven-night Alaskan sailing like no other. Think glacier viewing with Champagne in hand, immersive port experiences, world-class dining, and no kids or buffets in sight.

Your ship - Brilliant Lady

Sailing Alaska has never looked so stylish. Brilliant Lady is the latest ship to join the Virgin Voyages fleet, bringing the cruise line’s signature adults-only experience to the wild beauty of the Last Frontier.

Expect a ship that breaks all the traditional cruise rules. There are no kids, no buffets, no formal nights – just exceptional dining, incredible service, and a relaxed, grown-up vibe throughout. Think chic design, over 20+ eateries (with menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs), luxurious wellness spaces, and late-night entertainment that’s anything but boring.

Your voyage is all about freedom and flexibility. Every cabin includes Wi-Fi, gratuities, essential drinks, and access to top-tier fitness classes – so you can cruise your way without the add-on stress. Whether you’re soaking in glacier views from a waterfront daybed, dancing under the stars, or sipping craft cocktails at one of the ship’s sleek lounges, Brilliant Lady is all about doing Alaska differently.

Your itinerary

Day 1: Fly from Dublin to Seattle

Your Alaskan adventure begins! Board your flight from Dublin and make your way to the vibrant city of Seattle. On arrival, you’ll transfer to your centrally located hotel for a three-night stay. Unpack, unwind, and get ready to explore.

Day 2: Discover Seattle

Ease into your trip with a relaxed morning, then dive into Seattle’s food scene with your included “Taste of Pike Place Market” tour. This guided walking tour introduces you to the flavours and stories behind one of the city’s most iconic landmarks – from artisan cheeses to freshly baked pastries. The rest of the day is yours to explore. Fancy a ride up the Space Needle or a wander through the Museum of Pop Culture?

Day 3: Free Time in Seattle

Today is yours to spend as you wish. Why not take a ferry across to Bainbridge Island, visit the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit, or sample Seattle’s legendary coffee culture one last time? You’ll be amazed at how much this city has to offer.

Day 4: Embark Brilliant Lady

Check out of your hotel and transfer to the port, where you’ll board Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady for the next leg of your adventure. Get settled into your stateroom, explore the ship, and soak up the atmosphere as you set sail for the wild beauty of Alaska.

Day 5: Inside Passage (Scenic Cruising)

Enjoy a full day at sea as you cruise through the spellbinding Inside Passage – a route of forested islands, hidden coves, and marine life galore. Relax, take in the views, and make the most of everything onboard.

Day 6: Ketchikan, Alaska

Step into the storybook town of Ketchikan, known for its Native Alaskan totem poles, lush rainforest, and rich gold rush history. Whether you choose to zipline, kayak, or just explore the waterfront shops, it’s a day to remember.

Day 7:Sitka, Alaska

A cultural blend of Tlingit, Russian, and American influences, Sitka is full of surprises. Explore historic sites, take in spectacular coastal views, or join an optional wildlife tour to spot bears, sea otters, or whales.

Day 8: Tracy Arm Fjord (Scenic Cruising)

Cruise past towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and pristine glaciers as you glide through the majestic Tracy Arm Fjord. Keep your camera ready – this is Alaska at its most dramatic.

Day 9: Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Cross the border into Canada for a day in this charming coastal city. Discover Indigenous art, fresh seafood, and nature trails – or just relax and take in the peaceful pace of Prince Rupert.

Day 10: Day at Sea

Your final day onboard is a chance to unwind. Enjoy brunch at The Wake, treat yourself to a spa session, or sip cocktails at The Dock while soaking up the ocean views.

Day 11: Arrive Seattle & Fly to Dublin

Arrive back in Seattle early morning. After disembarkation, transfer to the airport for your return flight to Dublin – bringing home incredible memories of glaciers, great food, and a cruise like no other.
