October 24–29, 2026 | 5 Nights | Los Angeles

West Coast girlies, this one’s for you! 

Join us for the Halloween Spooktacular 2026, a magical Halloween cruise taking over the West Coast for five nights aboard Brilliant Lady, the newest ship in the Virgin Voyages fleet! 

We’ll embark on a roundtrip adventure from Los Angeles, with stops in San Diego, Catalina Island, and Ensenada, Mexico, all infused with the Halloween energy we love. 

Expect costumes, parties, incredible food, group dinners, new friends, and five nights with an amazing community of queer women. What more could you want?

• San Diego, California – Explore the waterfront, wander through the Gaslamp Quarter, visit Balboa Park, grab some incredible food, or head out on your own adventure.

• Catalina Island, California – Spend the day exploring Avalon, take in the island views, hit the trails, get out on the water, or find your own way to enjoy this iconic Southern California getaway.
