Caribbean Halloween Gay Bears Cruise 2026
7 nights roundtrip from/to Miami, Florida
October 25 – November 01, 2026
Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Beyond
Chill out with some rum punch after an adventure-filled day with a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. Join like minded bears, cubs, chubs, chasers, and friends on Eastern Caribbean Gay Bears Halloween cruise. We set sail from Miami to beautiful Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands & St. Maarten on new cruise ship, Celebrity Beyond! Palm-fringed beaches, pure white sand, turquoise seas, thrilling watersports and superb shopping – you’ll be in paradise on your holiday to the lovely Caribbean.
Set sail on a Caribbean cruise and discover the cliff-diving, breeze-swaying, sand-between-your-toes, no-worries pace of island life. Hundreds of years of history have left jungle ruins from ancient times and vibrant colonial towns with brightly painted buildings reflecting a fascinating history.
Visit the Caribbean to dive into the aquamarine water and see the Caribbean's underwater life up close and personal with a snorkeling or scuba diving adventure. Discover captivating coral reefs and unique species of jellyfish like the orange Moochers, Loggerhead sea turtles and the red cushion sea star, which can be seen in shallow waters.  
Eastern Caribbean Tropical Escape
The Eastern Caribbean is a stunning region known for its vibrant cultures, beautiful sun-dappled beaches, diverse activities and welcoming friendly people. This region is characterized by its lush landscapes, coral reefs, and rich history, offering a blend of cultures and experiences for visitors. The islands are often referred to as the Leeward Islands and include our beautiful ports of call St. Maarten, British Virgin Islands and Dominica.
Climb, hike, swim, bike, or chill in some of the world’s most beautiful places. From verdant mountain peaks to dazzling coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, the Caribbean is a never-ending show of nature’s wonders. Azure seas, sugar-white beaches, rainforests, volcanoes – there is nothing subtle about the various landscapes of the Caribbean. Every island has its own personality, from sleepy to bustling, and on a Caribbean cruise you can experience it all.
Explore ancient fortresses and discover the underwater world. Inhale the aroma of spices, swim under waterfalls and hike through tropical rainforests; or simply choose a beach chair in the shade of a coconut palm and sip a rum punch.
However you choose to spend your time, the islands of the Eastern Caribbean are a delight; a sunny melting pot of cultures, cuisines, and music that blend to create blissful vacation memories.

Welcome to the official Cruise Capital of the World, a world-class city with a world-class beach. Before your cruise from Miami, stay and play. Within view of Miami cruises, colorful characters from macaws to monkeys greet you at Jungle Island, with pink flamingos, white cockatoos, and green parrots. In Miami Beach, iconic Lummus Park frames the Art Deco hotels, fashion models, and fancy cars. From South Pointe Park, watch the ships glide out to sea. On Lincoln Road, you could spend three months eating at a different restaurant every day—trust us, we did it. Up the coast at Bal Harbour Shops, designer boutiques challenge fashionistas, who shop till they drop at Haulover Park Beach, where the north end is clothing optional.
Day 2 - Fun Day at Sea!
While at sea, indulge in some well-deserved relaxation before your next adventure. Unwind by the pool, pamper yourself at the spa, savor exquisite cuisine, or discover the unique venues on board. Your next incredible destination awaits.
Day 3 - Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Puerto Plata was inhabited by the Taino people for centuries before Christopher Columbus arrived and founded the city in the early 1500s. By the 20th century, Puerto Plata had emerged as the Dominican Republic’s main tourism hub. You can paddle through a manatee reserve or zipline over treetops. Go for a swim at the awe-inspiring 27 Waterfalls complex. Hike through the lush, protected jungle of El Choco National Park, enjoying the park’s two lagoons. Swim with dolphins at World Ocean, the largest manmade dolphin habitat in the world, or grab a kayak and head out on the water at Manatee Reserve. Nature, adventure, history – Puerto Plata has it all.
Day 4 - Tortola, British Virgin Islands
esides being one of the most scenic islands in the Caribbean, Tortola also has a fascinating cultural and historical side. For a glimpse into the island’s colonial past, visit the Virgin Islands Folk Museum. The restored house was once the family home of shipwright, Joseph Wilfred Penn and features a deep collection of Arawak and Carib pottery and stone tools, as well as plantation artifacts. Hike along the seven available walking trails in Sage Mountain National Park for stunning panoramic views of the island and the surrounding natural habitat. Snorkeling in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea and a rum tasting at Callwood Rum Distillery are essential on a cruise to Tortola. Sample the delicious curries, spicy soups, and sumptuous shellfish dishes available in abundance at local restaurants and many snack shacks around the island.
Day 5 - Philipsburg, St. Maarten
In the 17th century, Dutch and French soldiers decided to share this little island, and today it remains happily split between France (Saint Martin, north side) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten, south side).
Cruise to St. Maarten and explore the dozens of alluring beaches that ring the island. At Orient Beach, sunbathers bask and beachcombers stroll on the white sands, while divers and snorkelers explore the sunken shipwrecks and marine life just offshore. You'll really get blown away at Jet Blast Beach (officially Maho Beach), next to the airport.
Embrace all the beauty of the island on a tour to the French capital, Marigot, where you can explore the quaint streets and cafés, open-air market, and 18th-century Fort Louis. Take a scenic cruise of Simpson Bay Lagoon, site of luxurious villas and megayachts. More tours show you charming Grand Case and Orient Bay.
