Thank you to Travel+Leisure writer Kwin Mosby for sharing his take on why he chose VACAYA to book my first gay cruise:

✅ A conscious decision to be inclusive
✅ A microcosm of the LGBTQ+ community — different ethnicities, sexual orientations, and more
✅ A strong sense of community… effortless, stress-free process to connect with different people
✅ New friendships that go beyond our seven-day journey
✅ Final Takeaway: I would do it again… solo or possibly with friends

Here's why I chose vacation company Vacaya to book my first gay cruise, a seven-day Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Millennium ship.

Note about this event: VACAYA is all about connections, having fun, and building community, but your health and safety are our highest priorities. While we fully expect October 2021 to be a safe, fun, & fully vaccinated experience, both VACAYA and our partners have proven we can discern and implement health protocols as necessary.

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s time to declare your independence from mediocre vacations! VACAYA has “the freshest and most exciting line-up of trips in LGBT+ travel history” AND our 2022 Caribbean Cruise and our 2022 Costa Rica Resort will likely be sold out in the coming weeks.

If you’re looking to get away sooner, our 2021 Mexico Resort (Oct 30-Nov 6) and our 2021 New Orleans Cruise (Nov 14-22) still have a few rooms left, but those are selling fast, too. So if you don’t book SOON, you’re going to completely MISS OUT in 2021/2022. Book online 24x7 @ myVACAYA.com before it’s too late!

As a reminder to all of our patriotic first responders and active/retired military members, you qualify for our protective services vacation pricing on our big-ship cruises. Learn more at https://www.myvacaya.com/offer/protective-services-pricing/

BREAKING NEWS!

VACAYA is taking you to the Greek Isles in Summer 2022! And we’re not just talking about the gayest and most well-known islands like Mykonos and Santorini, which we’ll visit, of course… but islands no ocean-plying behemoth could EVER get to… Amorgos, Symi, Patmos, and Hydra!

The 5-star Le Bougainville from PONANT is all ours and we’re including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, WiFi, and a host of other fantastic benefits! Our 7-night Aug 18-25, 2022 cruise begins and ends in Athens, where you’ll step back thousands of years with your visit to the Acropolis. We’ll overnight in Mykonos on a Friday night, giving you the chance to explore all the wonders of this magical LGBT+ heaven, and we’ll also get a late Saturday night in Santorini, as well. Even if you’ve been to Greece before, we know you’ve never been like this – dripping in luxury on PONANT’s newest class of ships, able to get into the Aegean Sea’s most charming small ports of call.

If you want to see and feel the real Greece, the super yachts of PONANT with VACAYA are the only way to go.

And if you’re looking to extend your holiday, we have a spectacular 3-night post-cruise experience in Santorini available for 34 extremely lucky guests!
