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.
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.
Two Alaska port towns, a full day in a glacier fjord, and a stop in Victoria, BC on the way home.
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.
A slow, easy day. Coffee, a blanket, and forested coastline sliding past the window.
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.
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.
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.
Spa morning, a fitness class, a long lunch, a nap. Nobody needs anything from you today.
Gardens, the Inner Harbour, and afternoon tea if you want the full Victoria experience. A lovely, unhurried last stop.
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.
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.
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.
I have sailed Virgin myself, so when you ask me what life on the ship is like, you're getting a firsthand answer.
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.
Your own balcony with a hammock, located in the middle of the ship - a shorter walk to everything and a smoother ride.
Your own balcony with a hammock. Glacier day from your own private space is hard to beat.
More space, more privacy, and extra perks for the trip where you want it all handled.
Secure your spot with a deposit of 20% of your cabin price, and pay the rest over time.
Balance due by February 24, 2027. I'll send reminders so it never sneaks up on you.
Travel protection is available for your fare, flights, and hotel. I'll walk you through the options before you pay anything.
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:
Or one of these combinations:
These rules come from government regulations and can change, so I'll double-check what you're bringing before you sail.
Yes. Everyone onboard is 18 or older.
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.
Yes. I can book several cabins on this sailing, and everyone who books with me gets the same perks.
Yes. Reach out and I'll check solo pricing for you.
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.
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 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. 💜
