VACAYA’s 10th Birthday Season launches in truly spectacular style as we go beyond… CELEBRITY BEYOND, that is!

From February 14-21, 2027, join the community that’s redefined LGBTQ+ travel for a decade on a big-ship adventure designed to celebrate where we’ve been and everything that lies ahead!

Expect unapologetic joy, next‑level entertainment, and the signature VACAYA vibe – welcoming, electric, and all-out fabulous. Our adventure kicks off on Valentine’s Day, so prepare yourself for endless (and occasionally fleeting if that’s more your style) romance, champagne toasts, and the festive cheer you’ll only find with VACAYA!

Sailing roundtrip from uber-gay‑friendly Fort Lauderdale, we’ll bask in Caribbean sunshine in Labadee (Haiti), Samaná (Dominican Republic), and Philipsburg (Saint Martin), with three shenanigan‑filled Sea Days to play, connect, and let loose. From beach‑club bliss and island culture to pool‑deck parties and starry‑nights at sea, it’s the perfect balance of discovery and decadence… crafted lovingly for our community, by our community.

TAKE ACTION!

  • Save the dates: Feb 14–21, 2027, and set a calendar reminder to make your reservation when your booking window opens.
  • Rally your friends from around the world and compare cabin categories early. Remember… prime locations go fast!
  • Check your passport now; aim for 6+ months validity beyond February 2027.
  • Start to dream about your looks: resort-chic by day, statement sparkle for theme nights.
  • Consider a pre/post-cruise stay in Fort Lauderdale or Wilton Manors for extra fun.
  • Sketch out your excursion wish list (beach, culture, adventure) so you can book the moment all the options drop 45 days out.
  • Traveling solo or need accessibility support? Flag it early so we can tailor the experience.
  • First-time cruisers: Expect seamless fun. VACAYA’s famed V Team guides you every step of the way.
  • Partiers: Prepare for late-night energy with world-class DJs.

STELLAR ENTERTAINMENT

People often ask us, “What’s the difference in entertainment between VACAYA and other companies out there?” Well…

At VACAYA, we believe entertainment should be plentiful, unexpected, and constantly evolving, surrounding you with bold performances and immersive experiences you won’t find anywhere else. While a few fan favorites may return year after year, our goal is to have roughly 75% of our lineup be brand new to each big-ship VACAYA cruise. Unlike other companies, who often rely on the same performers trip after trip after trip (ad infinitum), VACAYA chooses reinvention. And that’s a deliberate choice, because repetition isn’t innovation, and evolution doesn’t happen on autopilot.

We prefer to keep things fresh, fearless, and unmistakably VACAYA. And because of that, Edge Media calls VACAYA entertainment “packed with top-tier entertainers a hallmark of the brand, which has quickly risen to best-in-class for queer travelers.”

Thanks, Edge Media. We couldn’t agree more. 😉

COMFY ROOMS

It’s modern comfort with just‑right details, perfect for catnaps, glam‑ups, and slow mornings with coffee and sea views.

Choose your style of cozy: value‑savvy Interior, sunlit Ocean View, breezy Infinite Veranda with its indoor‑outdoor flexibility, spa‑minded AquaClass, or all‑out indulgence in The Retreat’s suites. Wherever you land, expect thoughtful touches and a quiet, private haven that balances VACAYA’s high‑energy fun with restorative calm.

Graze oceanside at Oceanview Café, linger over pastries at Café al Bacio, or indulge at Fine Cut Steakhouse. AquaClass guests savor wellness-inspired dishes at Blu, while suite guests enjoy Luminae’s elevated menus.

Ship

CELEBRITY BEYOND

Celebrity’s Edge Class redefined elegance and grace at sea, and Celebrity Beyond is the masterful third act that perfects the formula. As the third ship in the series, Beyond benefits from everything learned on Edge and Apex, fine-tuning design, flow, and guest experiences to elevate every moment. Spaces feel grander and more intuitive: the expanded Grand Plaza hums from morning espresso to late-night sparkle, the Resort Deck is more open and social, and the Magic Carpet still delivers jaw-dropping ocean moments. The Theatre dazzles with next gen tech, while Eden remains a lush, multi level playground for culinary delights and creative performance. It’s the evolution of modern luxury – sharper, brighter, and boldly Beyond.

This gorgeous ship also refines the art of living at sea. Infinite Veranda staterooms blur the line between indoors and ocean with even smarter details, while The Retreat turns suite life into a private, all-immersive sanctuary. The multi-terraced Sunset Bar (your V Team’s favorite space on board) pours golden-hour perfection, while the Rooftop Garden, with its integrated hot tubs, takes VACAYA’s Red Light District to soaring new heights.

Put simply, Beyond offers more comfort, more connection, and more ways to savor this 10th Birthday Celebration with VACAYA.

                ROOM DESCRIPTIONS

                Room descriptions and sizing have been provided to us by Celebrity Cruises. Room sizes and layouts may vary slightly within the same category. For rooms with a capacity greater than 2, the additional bedding is a combination of sofa beds and/or upper berths. Prices are subject to change at any time – with or without notice.

                Be “In The Know” about Obstructions: The standard cruise industry definition of an obstruction or partial obstruction is if the view of the horizon is interrupted when an average height person (170cm or 5’7”) is standing at the balcony’s handrail. If the horizon line is blocked in its entirety, the view is considered fully “obstructed.” If any part of the view of the horizon line is blocked by a lifeboat, overhang, support beam, or any other fixed apparatus (not including moveable cleaning equipment), the view is considered “partially obstructed.” If the horizon line can be viewed in its entirety when standing at the handrail, the view is not considered to be obstructed in any way.

                ‘FEEL THE BEAT” ROOMS

                Rooms designated as “Feel the Beat” Rooms are on the deck directly below the dance floor, or near a lower-deck venue we anticipate running later into the night. These rooms are perfect for anyone who tends to stay at our parties until the last beat drops. Rooms that are on lower floors beneath the dance floor may also feel vibrations from the bass and occasionally hear the music itself, but that will typically be at a much lower level than the “Feel the Beat” Rooms on the deck just below the dance floor.

                TRIP INSURANCE: GET IT!

                There’s one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, “should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment?” Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At VACAYA, we’ve always believed Trip Insurance is critical to the vacation planning process. That’s why we took special care to integrate the purchase opportunity into our online booking process.

                Nothing breaks our heart more than hearing from guests who elect not to purchase insurance, but then something tragic – a death, the loss of a home, etc. – happens and they’re unable to attend the event. As painful as it for us, VACAYA is unable to be your insurance in those moments. And as sad as the stories are, we’re unable to break our Terms & Conditions with you. The reason for that is because to maintain our Seller of Travel licenses and to comply with all regulations, we must administer our Terms & Conditions equitably across all guests. Failure to do so risks VACAYA’s very existence.

                We recommend a “Cancel For Any Reason” or CFAR policy for everyone, and for good reason: if you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers you against total loss. It’s also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.

                So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️
