Big Gay Cruise — Eastern Caribbean (Port Canaveral)
About This Event
Big Gay Cruise is an LGBTQ+ brand that organizes group sailings on mainstream carriers—mostly Royal Caribbean, with one Virgin Voyages cruise. The timetable marks them as group trips, meaning you’ll share the deck with other guests. The website never names the company behind the brand.
The listing here is for its Eastern Caribbean run: eight nights aboard Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas, departing Port Canaveral—the Orlando port—on 18‑26 September 2026. That sailing is already finished, and a look at the schedule shows no September 2027 departure from Port Canaveral. The next Eastern Caribbean voyage on the books is a seven‑night trip on Allure of the Seas from Miami, 6‑13 February 2028. It runs in tandem with a Fort Lauderdale Bahamas cruise that the brand calls its fifth anniversary. Earlier in the calendar, you’ll find Halloween sailings out of Galveston in 2026 and 2027, and Miami departures in November 2026, January 2027, and May 2027.
