VACAYA Caribbean Gay Cruise
About This Event
VACAYA is an LGBTQ+ travel company that charters whole ships, so on this sailing every cabin is booked by the gay and queer crowd. Its February 2027 Caribbean cruise is on Celebrity Beyond, leaving Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades on 14 February 2027 and returning on 21 February. VACAYA expects more than 3,200 guests.
The route has three sea days and stops in Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic) on 16 February, San Juan (Puerto Rico) on 17 February and Philipsburg (St Maarten) on 18 February. VACAYA brings its own programme on top of the ship's usual offer. That means shows in the main theatre, cabaret and piano acts, DJs and dance parties, themed nights and a 10th-birthday party for the company. The fare covers meals in the complimentary restaurants and the VACAYA entertainment. Drinks packages, specialty dining, excursions and flights cost extra. Port taxes and fees are $347 per person, and gratuities run from $147 to $177 per person.
When we checked, VACAYA listed this sailing as sold out, with a waitlist through info@myvacaya.com.
