Waves of Pride
Caribbean LGBT Cruise 2027

7 nights cruise from/to Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida

November 6 – 13, 2027
Celebrity's Apex

Gay Caribbean cruise 2027The sea has never been this proud. Three ports. Three sea days. Four private parties. One extraordinary week at sea with the people who make you feel most yourself. Waves of Pride returns for 2027; bigger, longer, and unmistakably elevated. A cruise that finally matches the way you want to travel. We built Waves of Pride on a simple idea: this community doesn't want a party bolted onto a cruise. It wants a beautifully run voyage that happens to be entirely ours. For 2027 we're going further in every direction — seven nights instead of five, Celebrity Apex rather than a smaller ship, and a week that's as good at 11 a.m. as it is at 11 p.m.

Your fare includes the Classic Beverage Package, Wi-Fi and gratuities before you add a thing. Which means the price you see is very close to the price you pay.

 

Celebrity Caribbean gay cruise

 

Who's Onboard?
Couples of thirty years, and people who booked alone last month. Late twenties through retirement, with the middle of the group somewhere around forty-five. First-time cruisers and people with a Captain's Club tier they're quietly proud of. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, men, women, non-binary guests, and the allies and chosen family they brought with them.

What they have in common is wanting the week to be good rather than loud. Beautiful ship, long sea days, excellent food — and four nights that are entirely ours.

 

Western Caribbean gay cruise 2027

 

Seven nights, roughly.
Long days ashore, longer nights on board, and three sea days in the middle that belong entirely to us. Four private parties. One very good DJ.

A Solarium pool party under the glass dome, plus three more events we're scheduling now. Our own DJ, our own production and lighting, and a bar running on the package that's already in your fare — all of it exclusive to Waves of Pride guests.

Drinks at our parties are served from the Classic Beverage Package that's already in your fare. There's no separate bar tab, no drink tickets, no math.

Access to the four events themselves comes from the entertainment fee, which is separate from your cruise fare.

Celebrity Apex - A Ship Designed to Leave the Future Behind

Celebrity Cruises, the company that brought you modern luxury cruising, has done it again. Introducing a revolutionary new ship that’s poised to change the way you experience the world—and a new class of ships designed to shatter all expectations.

With an innovative outward-facing design and visionary spaces that stand apart from anything else at sea (with the exception of her equally stunning sister, Celebrity Edge, of course), Celebrity Apex will revolutionize the way you experience the world.

Discover the unparalleled luxury of The Retreat, exclusively for all suite guests. Unwind in transformational accommodations that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Soar above the sea on the Magic Carpet. Surrender to the carefree pleasures of the Rooftop Garden. And embark on a culinary journey through an unrivaled collection of restaurants, bars, and lounges.

 

Celebrity Apex Gay Caribbean cruise

The Grand Plaza
The Grand Plaza, a majestic, open, three-storey venue onboard our brand new Edge Class ships. Inspired by the piazzas of Italy and the invigorating energy of everyone coming together to savour a taste of the good life. Home to our incredible speciality restaurants, featured on different levels of the plaza - along with our popular Martini Bar, Café al Bacio, and the new Grand Plaza Café - the Grand Plaza is the ultimate gathering place on Edge Class.

 

Celebrity Apex Tuscan Restaurant

Dining & Bars
Brand new Edge Class ships are truly designed to change the way you experience the world - and such an unbelievable ship needs cuisine to match. Boasting a total of 29 distinctive restaurants, cafés, bars, and lounges to choose from, you’re sure to find a new favourite dish or cocktail every night of your holiday. With an incredible palate-pleasing collection of menus inspired by the destinations we visit, and visionary recipes created by our Michelin-starred chef Cornelius Gallagher, we’ll bring the flavours of the world to you - right onboard.

 

Celebrity Apex Theater

Entertainment
Entertainment onboard our Edge Class ships is just as revolutionary, just as technologically mind-blowing. It isn't something that starts and stops on a schedule. It lives and breathes, surprising you at every turn and making your holiday unforgettable.

Celebrity Edge Class ships surround you with engaging, spontaneous, and unforgettable entertainment moments that transport you from the everyday, every moment of your holiday.

 

Celebrity Apex Magic Carpet

Magic Carpet
Onboard our Edge Class ships, the highlight of our outward-facing vision is the Magic Carpet. The size of a tennis court, and reaching heights of 13 storeys above sea level, it is the world’s first cantilevered, floating platform. Majestically situated on the starboard side of our Edge Class ships, it is designed with comfortable seating, a full bar, and space for live music performances – so it truly is a destination itself. This spectacular space opens to several decks and transforms into a new and exciting venue depending on where it’s positioned.

 

Celebrity Apex Spa

Relaxation
Whether you want to clear your mind, fine-tune your body, reinvigorate your spirit - or all of the above - The Spa onboard our Edge Class ships is the unparalleled escape you deserve. The Spa elevates "me time" to a fine art, its design rivals any of the best spas in the world, and its nature-inspired approach to wellness includes an array of spa, beauty, and fitness experiences never before offered at sea.

 

Celebrity Apex Eden

Eden
Eden is unlike anything at sea – or anywhere. With three levels of sensory experiences, fully encased in glass and looking out to the ocean, it is a true window to the world. Where nature is effortlessly intertwined with design and performance art.

 

Celebrity Apex Med gay cruise

Pool Bar
Situated alongside the 25-yard lap pool (the largest in our fleet) and underneath an ever-changing, abstract mirror installation is the Pool Bar. An serene spot to relax, sip your favourite cocktail and take in your stunning surroundings.

 

Celebrity Apex Pool Deck

The Resort Deck
On The Resort Deck, which can be found on our Edge Class ships, you'll enjoy the main pool area, the new Rooftop Garden, the jogging track, and the adults-only Solarium. You’ll find endless ways to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the sea.

Caribbean gay cruise from Orlando, Florida

Day 1 - Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
When you sail to the Caribbean from Cape Canaveral, it’s worth arriving a day or two earlier to experience everything there is to see and do. Check out the charming lifestyle of nearby Cocoa Beach. Work on your tan before your cruise at one of the oceanfront resorts. Enjoy local seafood at the numerous rustic restaurants located on the water. Climb the four-story Exploration Tower at the Port for one of the best views of the ocean. Plus, no stay in Cape Canaveral is complete without visiting the area’s main attraction, the Kennedy Space Center, where you can meet an astronaut or even watch a rocket launch. Or since you’re less than an hour away from Orlando, you can visit the nearby theme parks to add even more wonder to your unforgettable Caribbean vacation.

 

Key West gay cruise

Day 2 - Key West, Florida
The southernmost city in the country and one of the most joyfully queer places in it. Six and a half hours in the most unbothered town in America. Walk off the ship straight into Old Town — Duval Street, the Hemingway House, Mallory Square, and a gay scene that predates most of the ones you know. No excursion required, though we'll have suggestions.

We're planning a group activity here. Details to come — it'll be optional, like everything else.

 

Celebrity gay cruise sea day

Days 3, 5 & 7 - Fun Day at Sea!
Sea days are when a group of travellers actually becomes a group. Pool parties, the Solarium, the spa, long lunches, and the Waves of Pride events we're building the week around. If you've only ever done short Caribbean runs, this is the part you've been missing.

 

Grand Cayman, Caribbean gay cruise

Day 4 - George Town, Grand Cayman
Nine hours and the clearest water on the itinerary. Seven Mile Beach is a short ride from the tender pier; Stingray City is the excursion everyone comes back talking about; and Camana Bay is worth an hour if you'd rather browse than swim.

 

Caribbean gay cruise - Cozumel, Mexico

Day 6 - Cozumel, Mexico
Ten hours — the longest day ashore of the week. The Mesoamerican Reef is a fifteen-minute boat ride away and is genuinely world-class. If diving isn't your thing, the beach clubs on the west shore will happily take your afternoon.

We're planning a group activity here too. Details to come — optional, as always.

 

Gay Orlando

Day 8 - Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
Orlando is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the USA. The city’s downtown is a bustling hub of culture, tourism, and business, with areas that spill onto the beachfront promenade giving way to stretching white beaches. The gay scene in Orlando is lively, vibrant, and energetic. Shaped by the large South American community in Orlando, many of the city’s gay clubs and bars are heavily influenced by Latin culture, music, and style. The city is known for being one of the most gay-friendly in the world and the gay community in Orlando is strong, resilient, and passionate.
