7 NIGHTS
In 2023, VACAYA is turning FIVE and we’re going ALL OUT to celebrate with an incredible way to experience the Caribbean as we sail roundtrip from beautiful and uber-LGBT-friendly Fort Lauderdale with EVERYBODY UNDER THE SUN!
In honor of our 5 years, you’ll experience the very best of 5 different countries – one fabulous playground after another for each year: the United States, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Cayman Islands.
In the world of charter cruising, there is one class of ship that rises above the rest – the Solstice Class from Celebrity Cruises. And we are THRILLED to take the step up from Millennium Class ships (which have been tremendous for us with Summit and Millennium) to the Solstice Class’s stunning Reflection! Reflection is a perfect vessel for everything we do in bringing people together. And needless to say, but this will be our BIGGEST CELEBRATION yet!
Cruising takes the guess work out of travel. And with all the added VACAYA benefits – from signature entertainment and welcoming parties to endless social activities and non-stop fun – it’s also an incredible value. With so many inclusions, your precious vacation dollars have never been better spent. And with THIS cruise, we’ll be giving you the ability to purchase a beverage package to make the value even better! Click the VALUE button below to read the complete list of inclusions.

Can you believe it’s already been 5 years?!? And do we have a celebration in store for you!
South Florida is the perfect playground for sun and beach lovers, and after you’ve spent time enjoying all the area has to offer, The Vacayans will welcome you aboard before our most beloved tradition takes flight: we’ll all be on the upper decks for a full evening of dining, drinking, entertainment, and our first night’s party, THIS IS ME, under the stars! So get ready to flash that beautiful smile of yours and say hello to all your new friends!
We’re heading across the Gulf of Mexico today and that can only mean one thing… we’ll be bathed in non-stop sunshine as we get to know our stunning Reflection. Be ready to let loose at our first V-Dance of the week today! And don’t forget that our party themes are announced 120 days before our adventure together – an industry-leading timeline. One party theme we can share now is NASTY! The largest underwear party at sea – Powered by Andrew Christian. Come equipped with Andrew Christian harnesses, undies, and toys! Use Code: 50VAC on the AC website for 50% off everything!
Today, the beautiful island muse of Cozumel beckons with her crystal-clear blue waters on this Valentine’s Day! We’ve got the whole day here to enjoy all she has to offer. So whether you plan to go snorkeling, diving, beach-going, or shopping along her promenade, we know you’ll fall in love with this Mexican jewel.
You’ll wake up to a magnificent sunrise as we arrive in Belize. As we’ve sailed southward, the waters have somehow become even clearer and bluer than they were the day before. The beaches along Belize’s coast rank among the most beautiful in the western hemisphere and they’re all ours today. If you’d prefer, head into the jungles on one of the ship’s exotic adventure excursions and take in the area’s Aztec wonders.
This island off the coast of Honduras is one of our favorite Caribbean destinations – a gem of natural beauty and adventure. Cox Hole’s citizens are among the warmest and most welcoming in the region. Spend time getting to know the locals, share your story, and let them share theirs. Our ReachOUT initiative for this trip will take place here in Honduras and we’ll have details of how you can pitch in a few months before the cruise.
There’s so much to see and do here in Grand Cayman, but no matter where this day takes you, you definitely won’t want to miss Stingray City. Here, the giant rays swim right up to you and you’ll feed them from your hand. It’s a wholly unique life moment that’ll leave you breathless with the perfect blend of anticipation and laughter. Have those cameras ready!
Our time together is almost up. It’s hard to believe this week has slipped by so quickly. But no worries… you’ve got a full day to enjoy Reflection. Looking to enjoy a relaxing spa appointment? Go for it! Or maybe the clothing optional deck? Sun’s out, buns out! Or how about a spirited game of bingo? Yes, bingo! And our last and most fun V-Dance of the week will be this afternoon. Use these final hours together to share, laugh, and connect with both old and new friends.
Thank you for joining us for our 5th birthday celebration! We couldn’t have made it to this incredible moment without you. In the history of LGBT+ travel, very few companies have reached this milestone, so we’re eternally grateful you’ve deemed VACAYA worthy. Here’s to many more fun-filled and fabulous years ahead! Our hearts are full.
