Stateroom Accommodation

Brilliance features 1,075 staterooms in four main types: Suite, Balcony, Outside View and Interior. Every stateroom offers an interactive flat-screen TV with closed captioning, mini-bar and a vanity table with an extendable working surface for laptop computers, private bathroom with shower, 110/220 electrical outlets, a radio, telephone and a hair dryer. All rooms, save for the three Interior Studio Staterooms onboard, have a chair or sofa. Closet space in staterooms and suites is generally sufficient for four-person parties, each with one midsize suitcase and a carry-on bag. Most bathrooms are small but efficient, with glass-enclosed showers, compact counters, sinks and thin shelves for storage.

Dining Options

Minstrel Dining Room (decks 4 and 5, aft): The ship's main dining room spans two decks and has a gushing waterfall as its focal point. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and operates on an open-seating plan for breakfast and lunch.

There's undoubtedly no shortage of entertainment onboard Brilliance of the Seas. The ship rattles and hums with activity day and night, and passengers find they have run out of time before they run out of things to do. Lively and educational courses such as casino gaming lessons and travel photography are offered. There are elaborate production shows in the Pacifica Theatre, and people-watching at Viking Crown Lounge on Deck 13. Those seeking an upscale experience can enjoy sampling wine for a fee at the classes offered at Vintages wine bar on Deck 6.
