Your next great meal comes with a table full of new friends. Join The Foodie Cruise on our Alaska sailing, June 24–July 1, 2027, a seven-night Virgin Voyages sailing from Seattle. Enjoy restaurant discoveries and meals with new friends, with a welcoming travel community and time to explore at your own pace.
BOOK THE FOODIE CRUISE
You’ll sail with Virgin Voyages, an adults-only cruise line known for its modern ships, more than 20 places to eat, and lively entertainment. Between restaurant discoveries and meals with new friends, the ship’s restaurants and shows, and exploring ashore, you can make the trip as social or as relaxed as you want.
GOOD FOOD. EVEN BETTER COMPANY.
Explore Virgin Voyages’ restaurants with people who enjoy making dinner part of the adventure. Compare favorite dishes, discover new flavors, and let an unhurried meal turn into the conversation you remember most from the trip.
You don’t need to be a chef or a food critic. Bring your appetite, your curiosity, and your willingness to try something delicious.
A DIFFERENT DINNER, A NEW CONVERSATION
From shared plates to a relaxed breakfast with new friends, there are plenty of ways to connect over food. We’ll help arrange your dinner reservations so you can spend more time looking forward to the meal and less time organizing it.
Restaurant availability and group seating vary. Specialty experiences and drinks may carry an additional charge.

YOUR SHIP
VIRGIN VOYAGES’ BRILLIANT LADY
Your home for The Foodie Cruise is Brilliant Lady, one of Virgin Voyages’ adults-only ships.
Virgin does cruising differently, with a modern approach focused on great food, stylish spaces, entertainment, nightlife, wellness and plenty of places to relax.
You’ll find multiple restaurants and food experiences, bars and lounges, live entertainment, pools, fitness and wellness spaces, and nightlife ; all designed with adults in mind.

YOUR ALASKA ITINERARY
June 24–July 1, 2027 | Brilliant Lady | 7 nights
Seattle • Ketchikan • Sitka • Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier (scenic cruising) • Victoria • Seattle
Port calls and scenic cruising are subject to change.
KETCHIKAN & SITKA
In Ketchikan, colorful waterfront buildings and the historic boardwalks of Creek Street welcome you to Alaska. Explore local Alaska Native heritage, enjoy fresh seafood, or head into the surrounding rainforest for a day of adventure with new cruise friends.
Sitka pairs forest-covered mountains and Pacific Ocean views with a rich blend of Tlingit heritage and Russian history. Stroll the waterfront, explore historic sites, or choose a wildlife excursion before returning to the ship for dinner and another evening with your vacation crew.
GLACIER SCENERY & VICTORIA
Scenic cruising through Endicott Arm toward Dawes Glacier brings a different kind of show: steep mountain walls, waterfalls, floating ice, and the unforgettable blue of an Alaskan glacier. Bring your camera and a warm layer, and share the view with your vacation crew. Glacier access depends on weather and ice conditions.
Victoria adds British Columbia charm to the adventure, with its scenic Inner Harbour, grand architecture, gardens, and inviting cafés. Explore at your own pace, enjoy a waterfront stroll, and toast a week of new friendships before we return to Seattle.
The Foodie Cruise brings together food lovers who want to meet fellow travelers. Before departure, connect in our private Telegram group to introduce yourself, share ideas, and start making vacation plans.
Once onboard, join our meet and greet to put names to faces. We’ll also make your dinner reservations, making it easier to keep the conversation going over a great meal.
Solo travelers, couples, friends, and adult families are welcome in the wider Social Vacations community. Join the activities you enjoy and keep plenty of time for your own vacation. There is never an extra cost to participate when you book through Social Vacations.
The Foodie Cruise is part of a larger Social Vacations community sailing, alongside The Karaoke Cruise, The Trivia & Board Game Cruise, The ’80s & ’90s Cruise, The Solo Cruisers Cruise. All five communities share the same sailing, and you’re welcome to join the events and activities across them. Meet more cruise friends over dinner, karaoke, trivia, games, or throwback dancing. Activity details will be shared with the community.
