Before the Virgin Voyages Miami Departure 2026, Miami invites you to immerse yourself in its energy and elegance. This isn’t just a departure point — it’s a destination where art, ocean breeze, and fine dining blend seamlessly.
Stroll through Wynwood Walls to see the city’s renowned street art, browse designer boutiques in the Design District, or indulge in waterfront brunch at The Wharf. For travelers who appreciate modern luxury with cultural depth, Miami is the perfect overture.

When you arrive at Terminal V, you step into a space built for ease and anticipation. Every detail reflects Virgin’s signature style — minimalist, bright, and decidedly adult.
Upload your documents through the Virgin Voyages app, arrive at your assigned time, and sail through check-in within minutes. Champagne welcomes you on board as the crew sets the tone for nine nights of carefree indulgence.
To maximize your pre-sailing stay, consider arriving one or two days early. Here’s how to start your voyage right:
Choose a boutique hotel in Brickell for city luxury or a beachfront retreat in South Beach for easy access to sun and sea. Both offer world-class dining and rooftop views of the Bay.
Try modern Latin flavors at Amara at Paraiso or Japanese-Peruvian fusion at Naoe. Miami’s culinary scene matches Virgin’s philosophy — curated, contemporary, and unforgettable.
Visit Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) or take a sunset cruise through Biscayne Bay to get a preview of the sea you’ll soon sail.
As the clock approaches five, sail-away celebrations begin. Glass in hand, watch the skyline fade into gold while live music sets the mood. This moment is more than departure — it’s a shift into ease.
For many professionals, this cruise is a well-earned pause — a time to reconnect with self or partner without emails, meetings, or obligations. The Brilliant Lady was built for that freedom.
From Miami, the Brilliant Lady charts a course to five distinct destinations:

My adventure in Puerto Rico was beautifully balanced. Karina arranged a breathtaking visit to El Yunque National Forest, where the lush greenery and waterfalls created an awe-inspiring escape. We explored Old San Juan on both daytime and nighttime walking tours that gave me a rich sense of history, culture, and vibrant city life. During the day, the colorful architecture and lively streets drew me in, while the night tour brought the city’s music, energy, and la fiesta! Let me not forget, the trip to the Aguas Termales in Coamo to experience the healing power of the natural hot springs. All of the beaches were beyond amazing—relaxing, picturesque, and the perfect contrast to the city’s energy. Karina also curated unforgettable culinary experiences, from savoring authentic local dishes to snatching up street food. The culture and rhythms of the island were shared with me through Tamboricua performances that made me want to dance. What truly set this trip apart was Karina’s ability to create harmony between adventure, culture, and relaxation. She wove together the island’s natural beauty, historical richness, and artistic heartbeat into an itinerary that flowed effortlessly. Amour Getaways and Karina delivered an experience that was not just a vacation but a true immersion into Puerto Rico’s spirit. I left feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply connected to the culture. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone seeking a travel experience that is thoughtful, vibrant, and unforgettable. Muchas gracias Karina and Amour Getaways!!!!
