The trip was fantastic; you did a wonderful job organizing it. The trains and the hotels were walking distances, and it was great. It was wonderful to get to the train stations, and our seats were pre booked. During the tours we just walked pass the long lines of people waiting to get into the sites. 😊. The tours were very informative and interesting. The ladies spoke English very well and my husband and I enjoyed talking to them later in Italian.

In 2027, Brilliant Lady takes you to the Last Frontier, and it’s anything but ordinary. No tour-bus vibes here. Pick your pace: Essentials that bring you closer to the destination, Elevated adventures that take you deeper, or Virgin Exclusives you won’t find anywhere else. Glaciers by day, late nights in port after dark, and zero kids in sight. This is Alaska with a little more Virgin in it. ...
