Brilliance of the Seas

Brilliance of the Seas is one of four ships in the Radiance class. Smaller and with less adrenaline fueled action than newer classes of ship, Brilliance retains traditions of classic cruising, with loads of fun for all. Her brilliance lies in the endless views offered by acres of wall to ceiling glass, from the dining room to the external glass lifts. You will enjoy impeccable standards of service, from your suite to the dining room to the late night entertainment.

Good   1 , Australia, Apr 2024
Can't complain about Rachael but extremely unhappy about not getting to New Caledonia. Hobart isn't quite the same. Rachael was always eager to help.
Once in a lifetime cruise to Alaska   5 , NSW, Australia, Apr 2023
Toni from Global Journeys was excellent and helped book us an amazing cabin on our cruise. As first time cruisers she helped us through the process and made sure our trip booking was perfect.
