Guests will visit San Francisco, San Diego, and Ensenada instead of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, with Virgin excursions automatically refunded as onboard credit. This officially marks the fourth consecutive Brilliant Lady sailing disrupted by tropical weather. Just one day before departure, the October 17, 2026 sailing of Brilliant Lady has been completely rerouted. Virgin Voyages posted a notice on October 16, confirming that the three originally scheduled ports have been cancelled and replaced due to the projected path of Hurricane Trudy. As Cruise Hive detailed in its October 15 coverage , the latest sailing had already been facing the possibility of disruption before Virgin Voyages confirmed the revised itinerary.

Shore excursions allow cruise passengers to explore destinations with the convenience of a guided experience and the security of returning to the ship on schedule. Booking through the cruise line typically ensures the ship will wait if an excursion runs late.
