About the Ship – Brilliance of the Seas
The Brilliance of the Seas, part of the Radiance Class, has a gross tonnage of 90,090 tons, spans 13 decks, and measures 293 meters in length. It accommodates 2,142 guests in double occupancy cabins and will undergo a major refurbishment in May 2025, just before starting its summer season from Piraeus.
Like all ships in its class, it features expansive glass walls throughout its public areas, offering guests uninterrupted sea views as the ship sails. Despite its range of activities and entertainment options, its moderate size — smaller than many of today’s mega-ships — gives it a warm, intimate feel, allowing guests to connect with loved ones and fellow travelers in a relaxed setting.
Onboard, guests can enjoy three complimentary restaurants (the Main Dining Room, Windjammer Marketplace, and Park Café) and three specialty dining venues — Giovanni’s Table, Izumi, and Chops Grille — along with the exclusive Chef’s Table, where the ship’s Chef de Cuisine takes diners on a five-course gourmet journey perfectly paired with fine wines.
Highlights include a rock-climbing wall, mini golf course, adult-only Solarium with pool and whirlpools, and a full-service spa. The ship also features a theater, casino, bars, arcade, duty-free shops, a basketball and pickleball court, and a giant pool deck screen showing the latest movies under the stars.
Children and teens have their own dedicated spaces, supervised by the ship’s trained youth staff, while parents can relax and enjoy a cocktail at the Solarium. Guests can also participate in salsa or craft workshops, pastry or sushi-making classes, silent parties, pool parties, theme nights, art auctions, and many more engaging activities — all promising endless entertainment and a truly unforgettable vacation experience.
