Western Caribbean Gay Daddy Cruise 2026
7 nights from/to Fort Lauderdale, Florida
December 05 – 12, 2026
Princess Cruises Star Princess
 Come join our intimate and super-friendly group of Daddies, bears, admirers and friends aboard the brand new Star Princess on our voyage to Western Caribbean. The laid-back Western Caribbean is home to many of the region’s most popular islands; known the world over for some of the most stunning white sand beaches, sparkling and historic ports of call, and the culture of some of the friendliest host peoples imaginable. From the gorgeous sun-splashed islands of Cozumel and Roatan to the jungles, rivers and wildlife of Belize, this bears group cruise itinerary gives you the best of it all... and 3 full days at sea for you to refresh, recharge and renew.
Ancient Mayan ruins rise up from the jungle floor, breaking the pristine beauty of the rainforest to remind all who cruise the Western Caribbean of its deep cultural heritage. White-sand beaches and pristine azure waters are just the beginning with this region of the Caribbean. With just a little exploration on a Western Caribbean cruise, you can open up a world of jungle adventures, breathtaking barrier reefs and powerful cultural connections unlike any other.
Nestled among lush rainforests teeming with life and situated on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea, Belize City is a paradise for those looking to have an unparalleled eco adventure. Take a relaxing inner tube ride down a river and through ancient caves once used for rituals by the Maya, ride horses through a stunning nature park with hundreds of species, and snorkel through the northern hemisphere's largest barrier reef on a cruise to Belize!
Cruise to Cozumel, which was once the home to the legendary Mayan goddess of the moon, Ixchel, and the moment you step onto this tropical wonder you'll understand why they believed a goddess called this island home. From white-sand beaches and azure waters to snorkeling through an immense coral reef and exploring ancient Mayan ruins, Cozumel is one of the most dynamic Caribbean cruise ports.
Sitting atop an ancient coral reef system, surrounded by gorgeous crystal blue waters and featuring a lush tropical environment, the island of Roatan looks every bit the Caribbean wonderland. Visit the local iguana farm with over 3,000 iguanas roaming the grounds, snorkel and dive the pristine local reefs or sunken ships and Mayan artifacts, or just sit on the picture-perfect beach and relax without a care in the world. 
Your Ship - Brand New Star Princess
Setting sail in 2025, Star Princess has an array of exciting and innovative features, including dazzling entertainment in the Princess Arena, dining and amenities. A Sphere-class ship, offering a variety of international itineraries, top highlights onboard include The Dome, a multi-functional entertainment space, alongside a newly-revamped Piazza and the tranquil Lotus Spa. Star Princess also boasts the exclusive Sanctuary Collection offering, with private dining, opulent accommodation and the relaxing Sanctuary Club area for Sanctuary guests.
Star Princess guests have fun meeting up in the soaring Piazza-style atrium and watching first-run films at Movies Under the Stars. Adults have a private oasis at The Sanctuary.
Infused with light, our next generation Piazza connects you to the world with dynamic views and innovative experiences. Stroll through this — a hub of activity, inspired by the vibrant squares of Europe. Bring the world to you, and enjoy ocean views in every direction.
The Promenade Lounge and Bar is a prime people-watching area on the Star Princess. The Skywalkers Nightclub on the top deck offers great views, libations, and music. A variety of duty-free shops will scratch the shopping bug, and if you just want to sink into a hot tub, there are plenty on board.
From casual to fine dining, the Star Princess offers something for everyone. Fresh pasta and seafood is the norm at Italian restaurant Sabatini’s. Enjoy a British pub lunch at the Wheelhouse Bar. If a long swim has your tummy rumbling, enjoy poolside hot dogs and burgers. If you’re hungry late, there’s the 24-hour International Café. For cooked-to-order steaks and premium seafood, indulge at Crown Grill.
The Dome
Inspired by the terraces of Santorini, The Dome is a multi-level covered deck and first-of-its-kind glass-enclosed dome ever constructed on a cruise ship. During the day, the Dome features an indoor/outdoor pool and unique water feature in a comfortable and relaxed space. At night, the pool becomes a stage, and the Dome completely transforms into an entertainment venue with a South Beach vibe, state-of-the-art lighting effects and stunning entertainment.
Princess Arena
Star Princess Princess Theatre has evolved into the Princess Arena, our most technologically advanced performance space. We can configure it in different ways — even in the round! — and its crowning glory is an LCD panel that brings productions to life. More ways to configure the stage means more ways to entertain you.
Princess Live! provides non-stop entertainment throughout the day and each evening with trivia, game shows, the Daily Wake Show, live concerts and late-night comedy.

Day 1 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The fun begins the moment you board the Star Princess - which has been designed from bow to stern for your fun and enjoyment. As we sail out of gay friendly Fort Lauderdale, we’ll gather for a hosted Daddy Cruise Party. Here, you’ll meet your fellow cruisers and start making new friends right away. We’ll sail leisurely down the coast of Florida and into the Caribbean.
Day 2 - Fun Day at Sea!
Our first full day is at sea. Relax, unwind and get into vacation mode. Lounge on your private balcony or near one of the pools, or maybe even find a quiet nook to settle in with a book. Want to be more active on your day at sea? Play bingo, work out at the gym, watch a movie, dance all night, attend a cooking seminar, soak in a hot tub, watch a sunset (or a sunrise), play trivia games, sing along at the piano bar, do some wine tasting, check your email or surf the internet, grab a snack, watch live entertainment, get lucky in the casino, indulge in a spa treatment, catch the game in the sports bar, and on and on.
Day 3 - Fun Day at Sea!
What’s the hurry to get there? We’ll enjoy another relaxing day at sea. Or, will that be another exhilarating day at sea? It’s your vacation, so you decide!
Day 4 - Roatan, Honduras
Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands of Honduras, is noted for its pristine coral reefs, beautiful beaches, lush tropical foliage, and friendly people. It’s a long, narrow island measuring 37 miles in length, located about 30 miles from the northern Honduran mainland. The island has a mountainous backbone that provides for some excellent hiking opportunities, panoramas and lush scenery. Surrounded by warm Caribbean waters, this hilly island is picturesque, unspoiled and features some of the best beaches in the Caribbean (snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, and more!).
Day 5 - Belize City, Belize
Located at the base of the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize offers travelers a wealth of attractions. The country's dense rain forest is dotted with Mayan ruins. The forest is also home to a widerange of tropical wildlife, ranging from jaguars and ocelots to keel-boated macaws and howler monkeys. Offshore, the world's second-largest barrier reef offers some of the finest diving and snorkeling in the world. And Belize's easygoing ways, a legacy of its past as a British colony, feels far more akin to a small Caribbean island than a Central American republic.
Day 6 - Cozumel, Mexico
here's a reason Cozumel is the Caribbean's #1 cruise stop: this small island has just about everything! You can visit ancient Mayan ruins, shop till you drop, lounge one of the many beaches, go horseback or ATV riding, snorkel or scuba, feast on Mexican cuisine, drink margaritas all day, take in the rich culture and history, browse an art gallery, take a cooking class, tour the island…the list goes on and on.
Day 7 - Fun Day at Sea!
After all this, you’ll be ready for another full day at sea, either to relax…or to energize one more time! Lounge on your private balcony or near one of the pools, or maybe even find a quiet nook to settle in with a book. Want to be more active on your day at sea? Play bingo, work out at the gym, watch a movie, dance all night, attend a cooking seminar, soak in a hot tub, watch a sunset (or a sunrise), play trivia games, sing along at the piano bar, do some wine tasting, check your email or surf the internet, grab a snack, watch live entertainment, get lucky in the casino, indulge in a spa treatment, catch the game in the sports bar, and on and on. Here’s your last day to enjoy vacation mode while at sea!
Day 8 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Welcome back to Ft Lauderdale—relaxed and full of memories that will last a lifetime! Fort Lauderdale is definitely and party and leisure city. It's also very welcoming to gay travelers. Heading further into town you'll find many restaurants, a good selection of hotels and numerous gay bars. The gay scene in Fort Lauderdale is expansive and diverse and boasts one of the largest scenes in Florida. The hub of the city’s gay community is Wilton Manors, a neighbourhood of Fort Lauderdale that is iconic for its high concentration of gay bars and clubs.
