Virgin Voyages brought Miami to life with a dazzling celebration welcoming Brilliant Lady, its newest ship, to the city. The October 17th event drew more than 2,000 guests, including DJ Khaled, Swae Lee, Selling Sunset's Polly Brindle, and Real Housewives of Miami stars, as well as 1,000 loyal First Mates.
The evening showcased Virgin's signature style with the world premiere of Red Hot, a rockumentary spectacular featuring hits from the Spice Girls, Janet Jackson, David Bowie and Queen. The show celebrated Virgin Records' 50-year music legacy with archival footage and high-energy performances that electrified the crowd.
Guests explored Brilliant Lady's exclusive offerings, including Secret Vintage, an intimate speakeasy wine experience, Rojo, a fiery Spanish restaurant and Up With A Twist, a Gatsby-inspired supper club dripping with 1920s glamour.
The night concluded with Electric, a neon-fueled dance party in The Manor that kept guests celebrating until dawn.
Set against Miami's glittering skyline, the homecoming was especially meaningful for Virgin Voyages, recently named World's Number One Cruise Line for the third consecutive year. Brilliant Lady will cruise the Caribbean before heading through the Panama Canal to Los Angeles and Alaska in spring 2026.
