Oregon Adventures & The Wilds of Alaska
Experience the best of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska on this unforgettable journey that blends cool city culture, rugged coastal beauty, and breathtaking natural wonders. Begin with three nights in Portland, Oregon, known for its creativity and laid-back charm, followed by two nights in Seattle, the gateway to adventure, before setting sail aboard Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady for a seven-night adults-only Alaskan cruise through some of the world’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.
Portland, Oregon
Start your adventure in Portland, one of America’s most distinctive and creative cities. Known for its leafy neighbourhoods, craft coffee culture, and independent spirit, Portland combines small-town friendliness with big-city sophistication. Explore the Pearl District for boutique shopping and art galleries, wander through Washington Park with its famous International Rose Test Garden, or savour farm-to-table cuisine in the city’s renowned restaurants.
Don’t miss a visit to Powell’s City of Books, the world’s largest independent bookstore, or enjoy a relaxed afternoon exploring the Portland Saturday Market and nearby Willamette River waterfront. With its bike-friendly streets, eclectic food carts, and stunning mountain backdrop, Portland is the perfect introduction to the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle, Washington
Next, travel north to Seattle, a city of innovation and stunning natural beauty. Visit the world-famous Space Needle for panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, then immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavours of Pike Place Market. Explore the Museum of Pop Culture, take a waterfront stroll to the Seattle Aquarium, or enjoy coffee at the original Starbucks Reserve Roastery.
By night, dine on freshly caught seafood overlooking Elliott Bay or relax in one of the city’s stylish rooftop bars. With its blend of creativity, history, and dramatic scenery, Seattle perfectly sets the tone for your upcoming Alaskan adventure.

Step aboard Brilliant Lady, the newest ship in Virgin Voyages’ award-winning, adults-only fleet. Designed for modern travellers, Brilliant Lady combines cutting-edge style, world-class dining, and relaxed sophistication – making it one of the most exciting ways to explore Alaska.
Sail north from Seattle through spectacular waterways surrounded by snow-capped peaks, misty fjords, and sprawling forests. Discover Alaska’s majestic beauty with stops in historic frontier towns and scenic ports, where you can witness calving glaciers, spot whales breaching in the distance, or explore local cultures and coastal villages.
Onboard, indulge in over 20 unique restaurants – from the social dining of Gunbae Korean BBQ and the Italian flavours of Extra Virgin to the innovative cuisine at The Test Kitchen. Enjoy live shows in The Red Room, dance under the stars at The Aquatic Club, or unwind at the luxurious Redemption Spa. With no buffets, no formal dress codes, and no children, this is cruising at its most liberating — sophisticated, inclusive, and designed for adults only.
