Virgin Voyages has announced its third Alaska season: 18 Brilliant Lady sailings from May 1 through September 14, 2028. Every itinerary crosses the Inside Passage. The choice is between a seven-night Seattle roundtrip, two longer Seattle roundtrips, and one-way bookends between Vancouver and Seattle.
The season opens with a 10-night Vancouver-to-Seattle sailing May 1-11 that visits Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan, and Hubbard Glacier. The core schedule is 14 seven-night Seattle roundtrips with Ketchikan, Sitka, Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier, and Victoria. A 12-night Seattle roundtrip runs July 13-25 with six Alaska ports plus Hubbard Glacier, followed by a nine-night Hubbard Glacier roundtrip July 25-August 3. The season closes with a seven-night Seattle-to-Vancouver sailing September 7-14.
Virgin says booking opens November 12. Its announcement also says loyalty Sailors who book within two weeks of that date receive a $100 Bar Tab and that My Next Virgin Voyage benefits can stack. Treat those as launch guidance until the formal booking terms appear, and compare the cabin total—not only the credit—when inventory opens.

Virgin confirms the ship, season dates, 18-sailing count, five itinerary shapes, ports, glacier routes, and November 12 booking date. Public launch pricing and cabin availability are not yet posted, so Fruglar is not estimating a fare.
