The line said it is evaluating new possible launch dates for the vessel for when it will able to "deliver the standards customers have come to expect".
"We launched Virgin Voyages in the UK two years ago and have since taken the industry by storm, but even the strongest businesses face unforeseen challenges every now and then," explained vice-president of international sales Shane Riley.
"We are sorry that our sailors [customers] who were excited about Brilliant Lady will have to wait a little bit longer, but we know they’ll love the itineraries as much as we do."
It comes after the line confirmed Resilient Lady will sail out of Portsmouth next year, as well as unveiling a range of new destinations and itineraries.
