Harmony Caribbean Bears & Gay Group Cruise 2024
7 nights from/to Galveston (Houston), Texas
September 29 – October 06, 2024
Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas
 Join like minded bears, gay guys, cubs, chubs, chasers, their friends on the fabulous, filled with exciting adventures and, one of the World's Largest cruise ships, Harmony of the Seas for 7-nights Western Caribbean & Costa Maya cruise! If you’re craving sun-kissed shores, nothing beats Caribbean cruise. Though best known for their beautiful beaches, Caribbean destinations offer much more than that — like bold cuisine, colorful colonial towns, and rich cultural traditions from all over the world. Embark the ship in Galveston and you'll be taken on an epic journey to experience flavorful food, mesmerizing landscapes and ancient past of Mexico.
Dive under the sea, fly above the ocean, and treasure-hunt through the jungle with a cruise to Western Caribbean. Cruise to the Western Caribbean and find yourself immersed in bygone eras and pristine natural scenery. Hike through Mayan ruins in Tulum, Mexico, before diving into deep blue cenotes — aquamarine sinkholes surrounded by limestone caves, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
Puerto Costa Maya in Mexico is home to Mayan art and architecture (as its name implies), but you can also find the Spanish fort Fuerte San Felipe Bacalar. Spend your day exploring this historic site, just over an hour from the port — there's also a cenote cavern nearby if you're uparagraphCopy for some diving.
Known around the world for its vibrant coral reefs and diving sites, Roatan, Honduras is also one of Central America’s cultural capitals. Turn back time as you wander the breathtaking ancient ruins of Copan, a Maya city that dates back nearly a millennium. The site is so rich in artifacts that archaeologists are still uncovering new finds.  
Royal Caribbean's Fun Filled Harmony of the Seas
What do you get when you combine one of the biggest ships in the world with some of the boldest thrills at sea? A gravity defying, status-quo denying, electrifying expedition onboard Harmony of the Seas that will set a new standard for Mediterranean vacations. From first-at-sea feats to the favorites you know and love, you’ll find so many ways to make memories onboard — like the tallest slide at sea, Ultimate Abyss, deck-defying stunts at the AquaTheater, and the robot-helmed Bionic Bar. Not to mention dazzling Broadway performances and globetrotting gastronomic experiences that go from Asia to the Mediterranean, and beyond.
One of world’s largest ships offer more of everything you want in a vacation – changing whatever you think about a cruise is all about. It’s an unforgettable experience starting with Harmony’s fantastic features:

Day 1 - Galveston (Houston), Texas
A quaint seaside city toting a Texas-sized personality, Galveston offers both action-packed adventure and an easygoing beach vibe. Dangling on a barrier island fringing the Gulf of Mexico, the sea meets the South here in spectacular fashion. Over 60 National Register of Historic Places play backdrop to the Pleasure Pier’s waterfront amusements. Jump onboard a Galveston cruise to experience the lively seawall scene on two wheels, or relive the port’s glory days at the Texas Seaport Museum. Head to the island’s west end for kayaking and fishing— or brave the world’s tallest water coaster at Schlitterbahn Water Park. Houston is a major metropolitan area - fourth largest in the US and is about 50 miles inland from Downtown Galveston.
Days 2 & 3 - Fun Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 4 - Roatan, Honduras
Roatán’s diverse blend of cultures and traditions is enough to charm anyone. But its mangrove forests, dense jungles, and swaths of white-sand beach will make you want to stay forever. Divers and snorkelers from all over the globe flock to the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands every year see to the world’s second largest barrier reef firsthand. Roatán cruises provide access to laid-back beach towns and secluded shores. On the Big Island, you can mingle with monkeys and “Jesus” lizards, snorkel with stingrays, and zipline through rainforest canopies. If it’s culture you crave, the island’s unique and vibrant blend is more than satisfying— made up of ex-pat sun seekers, Hondurans from the mainland, descendants of European settlers, and Garífuna, whose Afro-Carib-Arawak heritage still flavors centuries-old communities like Punta Gorda.
Day 5 - Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico
Past meets present in Costa Maya. Cruise to Costa Maya and find ancient Maya ruins and mysterious jungles just begging to be explored, as well as private beach clubs and trendy restaurants— all in one place. It’s 250 square miles of paradise packed with entertainment and history, all just 30 miles south of Cancun. The Great Maya Reef just off the coast is the second largest in the world— it’s a must-snorkel spot. Or you can kick back at the port village of Mahahual with an ice-cold michelada— a spicy beer cocktail— in hand. For a culture fix, head to the Kohunlick ruins to see the famous Temple of the Masks.
Day 6 - Cozumel, Mexico
With its lively tropical reefs, crystal-clear waters and ancient ruins, Cozumel is ripe for one-of-a-kind adventures. Cruise to Cozumel and head to Chankanaab National Park, where you can snorkel among the colorful reefs and schools of tropical fish that give this island its premier diving status. Or travel back in time on an adventure through the towering Maya ruins of Tulum. When you’re done exploring, unwind with a beachside massage at Playa Mia. From culture savoring to soaking up sunshine, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in Cozumel.
Day 7 - Fun Day at Sea!
An 'at sea' day is your chance to explore all the amazing activities the ship has to offer, including doing nothing at all. Relax in the Spa, take in a show at the theatre, or experience any of the incredible dining venues. There's so much to do the difficulty will be choosing what to do next! Whether you seek an adrenaline rush or total tranquility, our ships have it all. Try rock climbing, zip-lining and surfing 200 feet above the waves. Melt away land-based stress with a spa massage, build a scrapbook of memories or simply relax poolside.
Day 8 - Galveston (Houston), Texas
It is 51 miles by road from Galveston to Houston. Houston is home to Space Centre Houston, the coastal visitor centre at NASA’s astronaut training and flight control complex. Complete with a large gay community and plenty of nightlife, this city is simply out of this world. Gay life here is mostly centered in the Montrose neighborhood, with nearly two dozen gay bars and clubs sprinkled in between lovely craftsman-style homes and apartment buildings. You'll find something for everyone here from popular gay dance clubs to leather bars and neighborhood haunts popular with locals.
