Virgin Voyages · Adults Only · June 24 - July 1, 2027

Alaska, with room to breathe

Seven nights round-trip from Seattle on Virgin Voyages' Brilliant Lady. Glaciers, rainforest towns, a day in Victoria, and a ship with no kids, no buffet lines, and tips already in your fare. Book this sailing with me and you'll sail with a $100 Bar Tab, $50 in Sailor Loot, and Classic WiFi already waiting for you - plus me handling everything around the cruise.

Who this trip is for

The "we keep saying we'll do Alaska" trip

This one's for the couple who's been talking about Alaska for years and the girlfriends who need a week that isn't built around everybody else's schedule. It's adults-only, so mornings on deck are quiet and the evenings can be as lively as you want them to be.

And if you'd rather explore on your own, you're welcome here too. Virgin is one of the most comfortable ships to sail solo - easy to strike up a conversation at the bar, or keep to yourself with a book and a glacier view. Whatever kind of week you want, I'll help you plan it.

Bringing friends or family along? I can book several cabins on this sailing so everyone gets the same perks and the same easy planning.

Seattle is an easy flight from almost anywhere in the U.S., and since the ship sails round-trip, you fly in and out of the same airport. No open-jaw tickets, no extra hassle.

Day by day

Where we're going

Two Alaska port towns, a full day in a glacier fjord, and a stop in Victoria, BC on the way home.

Day 1 · Thu, June 24

Seattle, Washington

Sails around 5:00 PM

Board in the afternoon, find your cabin, and watch the city fade out behind you. Flying in? Come the day before - we can book you a hotel and get you to the pier.

Day 2 · Fri, June 25

Inside Passage

Scenic cruising

A slow, easy day. Coffee, a blanket, and forested coastline sliding past the window.

Day 3 · Sat, June 26

Ketchikan, Alaska

About 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Rainforest town on the water. Walk the Creek Street boardwalk, see the totem poles, and keep an eye out for bald eagles and salmon - summer is their season.

Day 4 · Sun, June 27

Sitka, Alaska

About 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Tlingit and Russian history in one small, walkable town. Sitka National Historical Park and the Alaska Raptor Center are the two I'd put at the top of the list.

Day 5 · Mon, June 28

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier

Glacier cruising

The ship winds through a narrow fjord of granite cliffs, waterfalls, and floating ice up to Dawes Glacier. Dress warm and get out on deck - this is the day people talk about for years.

Day 6 · Tue, June 29

Day at sea

Onboard

Spa morning, a fitness class, a long lunch, a nap. Nobody needs anything from you today.

Day 7 · Wed, June 30

Victoria, British Columbia

About 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Gardens, the Inner Harbour, and afternoon tea if you want the full Victoria experience. A lovely, unhurried last stop.

Day 8 · Thu, July 1

Back to Seattle

Arrives around 7:00 AM

Home before the holiday weekend. If you're flying out, book something after noon so the morning isn't a rush.

Port times are based on Virgin Voyages' published schedule for this itinerary and can shift before sailing. I'll confirm final times with you.

What your fare covers

What's included (and what isn't)

Included in your fare

  • Every restaurant onboard - 20+ eateries, no extra charge for any of them
  • Gratuities - no daily tip charge added at the end

  • Specialty coffee

I'd rather you know all of this now than find out at the bar on night one. That's how I plan everything - no surprises.

Why book this sailing with me

Same ship, a lot more support

Anyone can book a cabin. Booking this sailing with me means these perks on top, and someone in your corner from the day you book until you're back home.

Your perks on this sailing (per cabin)

  • $100 Bar Tab - your first round (or three) is already covered
  • $50 Sailor Loot - spend it anywhere onboard, including on your Bar Tab
  • Classic WiFi - stay connected without paying extra
  • Buy One Sailor, Save On The Next - Virgin's current promotion stacks with these perks
  • Available until: Limited space, first come, first served

What I handle for you

  • Getting there: pre-cruise hotel and transfers to the pier
  • Each port: excursion picks matched to what you enjoy
  • Onboard: a plan for restaurant reservations so you get the ones you want
  • Packing: my Alaska-in-June list, so you're not guessing about layers
  • The whole time: questions answered by a real person, not a hold line

I have sailed Virgin myself, so when you ask me what life on the ship is like, you're getting a firsthand answer.

Choosing your cabin

Pick your view

Cabins go fast for summer Alaska, and the best picks in each category book first. Pricing starts at $3,262 per cabin - tell me what matters most to you and I'll find the right fit.

Central Sea Terrace

Your own balcony with a hammock, located in the middle of the ship - a shorter walk to everything and a smoother ride.

Popular for Alaska

Sea Terrace

Your own balcony with a hammock. Glacier day from your own private space is hard to beat.

RockStar Suites

More space, more privacy, and extra perks for the trip where you want it all handled.

Booking and payment

Easy to start, easy to pay

Small deposit

Secure your spot with a deposit of 20% of your cabin price, and pay the rest over time.

Final payment

Balance due by February 24, 2027. I'll send reminders so it never sneaks up on you.

Protection

Travel protection is available for your fare, flights, and hotel. I'll walk you through the options before you pay anything.

Good to know

Before you say yes

Do I need a passport?

A passport is the easiest way to go, and I recommend traveling with one. If there's ever a medical emergency or you need to leave the ship early, you'll need it. Make sure it's valid for at least six months after July 1, 2027.

That said, because this sailing is round-trip from Seattle, U.S. citizens can sail with one of these instead:

  • Valid U.S. Passport Card (original)
  • Valid Trusted Traveler Card - NEXUS or FAST (original)

Or one of these combinations:

  • State-issued birth certificate (original or copy) and a physical government-issued photo ID. Hospital-issued birth certificates and Puerto Rico birth certificates issued before July 1, 2010 aren't accepted.
  • Original Consular Report of Birth Abroad and a physical government-issued photo ID
  • Original Certificate of Naturalization and a physical government-issued photo ID

These rules come from government regulations and can change, so I'll double-check what you're bringing before you sail.

Is it really adults only?

Yes. Everyone onboard is 18 or older.

What's the weather like in late June?

Cool, often wet, and very long days - it stays light late in Southeast Alaska this time of year. Layers and a good rain jacket matter more than anything else you pack, and I'll send you my full list.

Can friends or family book with us?

Yes. I can book several cabins on this sailing, and everyone who books with me gets the same perks.

I'm traveling solo. Can I join?

Yes. Reach out and I'll check solo pricing for you.

Do I need to fly in early?

If you're flying, yes - plan to arrive the day before so a delayed flight can't cost you the ship. I'll set up your hotel and transfer so the morning of is easy.

What if I need to cancel?

It depends on the fare you choose and when you cancel. I'll explain the policy clearly before you book, and we'll talk through travel protection so you know where you stand.

Ready when you are

Save your spot on the ship

Ready to book, or still deciding? Either way works. Send me your name and who's coming, and I'll put together a personalized quote with cabin options, pricing, and how the current promotion works for your cabin. No pressure, no commitment.

You don't have to know where to start - I've got you. 💜
