Brilliant Lady Mermaid Revealed.

[CruisingWalter]

No itineraries announced, nor will they be for some time.  But Tamika posted this on Facebook today, Brilliant has her mermaid. 

We are thrilled to unveil our Brilliant Lady Mermaid to the world, continuing our tradition of inclusivity. Our fourth Mermaid (who was just painted while in dry dock) celebrates the cultures of Southeast Asia and was beautifully brought to life by artist Janice Sung.‘Brilliant Lady’ symbolizes living meaningfully and purposefully. With her unwavering gaze, she reminds us of the boundless potential within each one of us to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.

This is the completion of our story across the fleet. The full expression of every part of ourselves brought to life in our four ladies:

Scarlet - to explore and immerse in your bright and passionate side.

Valiant - to live boldly and courageously, and to take charge.

Resilient - to have strength through adversity and to rise up to challenges.

Brilliant - to live meaningfully and purposefully.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Janice resides in British Columbia, Canada, where she crafts art fueled by a multitude of influences. Drawing inspiration from the enduring allure of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, the refined intricacies of Japanese and Chinese traditional art, as well as the rich diversity of fauna and flora, she endeavors to produce pieces that are both enchanting and enduring, transcending time with their captivating essence.

Astoria, Oregon posted an update to their cruise schedule for 2026 just yesterday which includes Brilliant Lady making a routine day call (8 to 7pm).  Presumably heading to Alaska?  Previous call appears to be Catalina Island.  I know the ship is potentially different to fit through the canal so its probably not too much of a surprise, but I haven't been following the development of BL that closely.  Additionally, Astoria posts these port calls pretty far out and they can be inaccurate as lines continue to make tweaks to itineraries, especially on these US coastal voyages.

The date would imply that this is a repositioning cruise for the start of the Alaska season.

Yes, seems like it.
