Cruising is having a moment, and Virgin Voyages is doing it differently. In this episode, Christal, Darci and Guest Dean Nelson form Personal Travel Management dive into the Brilliant Lady's Pacific Coastal sailing, an 8 night adults-only voyage departing Vancouver on September 11, 2026 and winding down the coast to Los Angeles, with stops in Astoria, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Catalina Island, and San Diego.But let's be honest, half the fun of a cruise is the food. Virgin has ditched the buffet and the main dining room entirely in favour of 20+ eateries, all included in your fare.
