Thanks for article link. So, does this mean VL is doing the TA? Here's "confirmation" from Travel Weekly https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tour-operators/virgin-voyages-announces-tough-decision-to-postpone-brilliant-lady-launch
-
Hopefully it will get cleared up today. Thanks for posting! Not good news, but expected.
-
That’s for sure - prices have literally doubled on some of my booked cruises. 😒
-
Me too - as long as I keep all my sailor loot, DBP. Etc. 🙂 whatever happens though sounds like there will be cruisers impacted negatively.
-
Thanks @DrSch and @Lustate for sharing!!!
-
Yes indeed…hopefully @DrSch will give us a heads up. They have a lot riding on this😕

Deep Blue Extras Extended through end of 2024
librarylady19 replied to FFMilesJunkie's topic in Virgin Voyages
I actually got on chat with Virgin earlier (they were busy so created a case for me) and within an hour I got an email that the DBE was added. Good deal-now the cruise just has to sail 😏 -
I ageee with you that it’s highly unlikely that they’ll extend the voyage at no additional cost when they could do a short revenue sailing to Portsmouth (or perhaps a media cruise). .

Deep Blue Extras Extended through end of 2024
librarylady19 replied to FFMilesJunkie's topic in Virgin Voyages
It''s not showing up yet for BL TA but of course we STILL don't know if that cruise is even happening.I'll wait for the big announcement on 9/7 before checking up on that. -
Could get off in Lisbon I bet. I have another cruise for May 5th out of Rotterdam and have to meet up with my hubby there😀.
-
Any more indications that BL Caribbean sailings will be taken over by another ship (Valiant?) and BL will debut in Europe? That's my worry.....a lot of disruptions with that route. Far more than just the TA.
-
Yes, according to their marketing person in the article in travel weekly. Let’s just hope we get a definitive answer on the BL TA - one way or another.
-
Me too! Since the first appearance on the Amsterdam ship calendar until May 8, plenty of time to get from Lisbon to Portsmouth for the first short cruise.
-
Same here - In both Safari and Chrome. Did a search for Jan-April 2024 amd filtered results to “Brilliant Lady” only.
-
It’s been like that for months. Read back through this thread!
-
It’s a hobby😉
-
What are the “latest rumors”?
-
Also checked the Virgin website in case there is a press release - nada.
-
Nope…keep checking website. Anyone able to look at UK site maybe?
-
Thanks again for the tip. Got on chat with VV today and they credited me the 10% discount. Now, fingers crossed the TA is on!!
-
Totally agree - and so much cooler too! Easy to get there from the MW (lots of points flights) and easy access to the rest of W. Europe.
-
Has anyone put together a spreadsheet for this thread (similar to those on Celebrity)?
-
The official Portsmouth port website only has the cruise schedule through end of 2023, but they do have Virgin listed as a cruise operator there!! https://portsmouth-port.co.uk/cruise/cruise-operators/

Hope so!! The official Portsmouth port website only has the cruise schedule through end of 2023, but they do have Virgin listed as a cruise operator there!! https://portsmouth-port.co.uk/cruise/cruise-operators/

Follow this thread. Lots of interesting speculation there!
