Post-Thanksgiving Caribbean Gay Group Cruise 2026

7 nights cruise from/to Fort Lauderdale, Florida

November 29 – December 06, 2026
Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Beyond

Whether you're snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, embracing vibrant island culture, or unwinding on pristine beaches, your perfect Caribbean getaway starts here. With an array of islands to explore, each offering unique experiences, the Caribbean is a paradise waiting to be discovered. Enjoy thrilling water sports, indulge in delicious local cuisine, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of island life. Relax on sun-soaked shores or explore charming coastal towns.

With Celebrity Cruises, you’ll experience the best of the Caribbean and see why nothing comes close to this tropical paradise.

Our journey begins in Fort Lauderdale, where we’ll gather at our host hotel, the Courtyard Marriott Downtown, with exclusive discounted group rates for our travelers. Join us for a fun and relaxed welcome pool party, then explore the vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife of Wilton Manors just minutes away. It’s the perfect place to unwind, connect, and start the celebration before we set sail.

Once onboard the stunning Celebrity Beyond, you’ll enjoy not only the ship’s incredible dining, lounges, entertainment, and modern spaces — but also a lineup of private events and entertainment curated exclusively for our group. From themed cocktail gatherings to late-night parties, these experiences are reserved only for our guests, creating a warm, welcoming social environment where friendships form effortlessly.

Throughout the cruise, enjoy relaxing days at sea to explore the ship or simply take in the ocean views. Our itinerary includes visits to Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten, each offering its own blend of culture, beaches, shopping, and island adventure.

We’ll also offer exclusive optional private excursions, designed specifically for our group — giving you the opportunity to share a memorable experience together ashore that you won’t find on the ship’s tour list.

As our voyage continues, we’ll savor additional days at sea to relax, recharge, and enjoy our final onboard celebrations before returning to Fort Lauderdale, with memories, connections, and new friends that will last long after the cruise ends.

This is more than a vacation — it’s community, celebration, and travel done beautifully.

Celebrity Beyond - More space. More luxury. More connected.

Welcome to a place where you can escape and experience all the things you’ve been missing for so long. Only now, those things are even better than you’ve imagined. This is a place where the everyday gives way to the extraordinary. A place with more space to lose yourself in and more luxury to love. Where the possibilities are as endless as the views. Where you can disconnect entirely while you reconnect with each other—and the world. This place is Celebrity Beyond!.

The third ship in our revolutionary Edge® Series, Celebrity Beyond takes our innovative outward-facing design further than ever, creating an even closer connection between you, the sea, and every exciting place on the horizon. Soak up the sun, salt breezes, and stunning scenery in newly expanded open-air spaces. Savor fine dining that rivals anything you’d find on land. And discover even more ways to relax and renew.

To ensure Celebrity Beyond would live up to its name, Celebrity Cruises not only reunited the dream team of architects and designers who first envisioned our Edge Series, but expanded their roles—and their designs will expand the way travel inspires you. Celebrity also stretched the length of the ship to create even more room for incredible outdoor spaces, like the new two-story Sunset Bar imagined by world-famous designer Nate Berkus and a redesigned Rooftop Garden by the visionary Kelly Hoppen, CBE, that brings you closer than ever to the water’s edge—both in collaboration with celebrated architect Tom Wright of WKK.

Kelly also took The Retreat Sundeck to a luxurious new level in more ways than one. And Celebrity Cruises introduced even more delicious culinary experiences to already unrivaled collection, including a new restaurant by the world-renowned chef, Daniel Boulud. All this is just the beginning of how Celebrity Beyond will redefine the art of luxury travel again, like each of our Edge Series ships has done before.

Unwind at The Retreat Sundeck
A place so exclusive it has no address, The Retreat is the ultimate luxury vacation experience. Every guest not only enjoys stunning suite accommodations but also private dining, exclusive spaces, and a long lineup of services and amenities.

All suites on Celebrity Beyond feature fresh color palettes and design details. As always, you’ll enjoy a Personal Retreat Host, so you never have to lift a finger, along with luxurious amenities like eXhale® bedding, king-sized Cashmere mattresses designed exclusively for Celebrity, and plush Frette robes and slippers—just to name a few. And now, when you book The Retreat, every guest in your suite receives premium drinks, streaming Wi-Fi, tips, a shore excursion credit, and an onboard credit to use however you choose.
