Every once in a while, there’s a moment you just know you should not skip. Like passing on Taylor Swift’s Era Tour tickets and pretending you’re fine about it. That’s exactly where Brilliant Lady’s final leg sailings land. These are the last chances to sail her current season before she shifts gears, routes, and vibes. Blink, and they’ll be gone. Miss them, and you’ll be hearing about it from everyone who didn’t.
Leg one: winter sailings from Miami (already in progress)
Brilliant Lady kicked off her season with winter Caribbean sailings from Miami, serving sunshine, sea days, and iconic stops like The Beach Club at Bimini. This leg is already underway, but there are still select sailings available for Sailors who want to jump in before she changes coasts.
These itineraries are all about:
- Warm-weather escapes
- Easy Miami departures
- Shorter getaways and longer Caribbean explorations
You can see the remaining Miami sailings.
Leg two: the Panama Canal journey to Los Angeles (April)
In April, Brilliant Lady switches eras completely.
She leaves Miami behind and embarks on one of the most talked-about repositioning sailings in cruising: a Panama Canal voyage to Los Angeles. This is more than a cruise. It’s a once-in-a-season experience, sailing through one of the world’s greatest engineering wonders while hopping between Central American ports along the way.
Why this leg is iconic:
- Full Panama Canal transit
- Rare itinerary you can’t replicate later
- A true coast-to-coast moment for Brilliant Lady
These sailings are perfect for Sailors who love longer journeys, brag-worthy routes, and the kind of trip that instantly becomes your personality.
Leg three: the final leg — Alaska from Seattle
This is the finale. The last bow. The standing ovation moment.
After arriving on the West Coast, Brilliant Lady heads north to Seattle for her final seasonal leg, sailing Alaska itineraries that are equal parts wild, serene, and jaw-dropping. Think glaciers, misty mornings, dramatic landscapes, and cozy ship moments that hit differently when the scenery does all the talking.
This final leg includes:
- Round-trip sailings from Seattle
- Alaska ports and glacier-view cruising
- A completely different vibe from her tropical chapters
These are the last sailings of Brilliant Lady’s current season, and once they’re gone, this era officially closes. And it’ll be an era worthy of a Grammy. Er, I mean, maybe Travel + Leisure World’s Best award for the fourth year in a row? ;)

How to choose your Brilliant Lady era
Not every Sailor needs the same finale. If you want sunshine and simplicity, choose a remaining Miami sailing and lean fully into beach energy.
If you want the rarest experience, The Panama Canal leg is your moment. Long, legendary and unforgettable.
If you want the grand finale, Alaska is it. Cooler temps, bigger scenery, and true final-leg magic.
Brilliant Lady’s Era Tour isn’t over. She’s still mid-performance, with some of her most memorable moments yet to come. From Miami warmth to a Panama Canal masterpiece to an Alaska finale that deserves its own encore, these are sailings worth planning your life around.
Miss them, and you’ll hear about them forever.
