Sir Richard Branson's cruise line for adults, Virgin Voyages, has added a new chapter to its voyage with the arrival of the Brilliant Lady in Halifax. This marks the first time the port has welcomed a vessel from the Virgin Voyages fleet.

The Brilliant Lady, the newest ship in the Virgin Voyages fleet, set sail from Italy and arrived at the port of Halifax on Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. The vessel, capable of holding around 2500 passengers, is the latest addition to Virgin Voyages' growing fleet of four ships.

Sir Richard Branson was in Halifax during the Brilliant Lady's visit and expressed his delight at the good weather. He also took the opportunity to express his excitement about the Brilliant Lady's new restaurant on board.

The Brilliant Lady's first stop in North America was Halifax, and it will return to the city on Sept. 21st, 30th, and Oct. 6th. The ship will also make a stop in Saint John, N.B., on Sept. 19th.

The CEO of Virgin Voyages, Nirmal Saverimuttu, took the position in September 2023. Saverimuttu's leadership has led to Virgin Voyages winning every award for being the best cruise line in the world in the last five years.

The Brilliant Lady's first voyage, called the 'MerMaiden', will set sail on Sept. 5th out of New York City. The ship is currently heading down to New York and will embark on its maiden voyage shortly.

In conclusion, the arrival of the Brilliant Lady in Halifax marks a significant milestone for both the city and Virgin Voyages.
