Join on this exciting 10-night gay group cruise to some of the most amazing ports in the Caribbean! You'll set sail round-trip from the gay-friendly port of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to beautiful and scenic ports of the Southern Caribbean! And we'll sail on the ultra-stylish ship, Celebrity Edge! Many of the world’s most beautiful beaches are here. Some long and straight, some tucked between cliffs, some brilliant white, some volcanic black. All gorgeous and serene. But our Caribbean cruise is more than beaches. Our Southern Caribbean cruise goes beyond the ordinary.
You can’t ask for a better place to get away from it all than the Caribbean. 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.
Southern Caribbean cruise beyond the ordinary
On a Southern Caribbean cruise with Celebrity Cruises, immerse yourself in the laid-back charm and natural wonders that the islands are famous for. Hike through lush rainforests and marvel at the islands’ stunning coastlines. Zipline over verdant landscapes and explore deep underground caves. Discover the simple pleasures of rustic beach bars and unbelievably fresh seafood. Stroll on flawless beaches and get up close to the marine life that inhabits the surrounding seas.
In St. Lucia, trek The Pitons for panoramic views of sea and sand. Play with dolphins in St. Kitts and sway to the sounds of a live steel pan band. Savor the flavors of the Caribbean in Barbados, a culinary capital in the Caribbean. Explore the incredibly diverse and visually spectacular Southern Caribbean. These islands, also known as the Lesser Antilles, have been shaped by many different cultures over the centuries - Dutch, British, French, and Spanish.
Soak up the Southern Caribbean sun by day, and return to your Celebrity cruise ship each evening for globally inspired dining, thrilling entertainment, and luxuriously appointed accommodations. Your unforgettable Southern Caribbean vacation awaits.
Underwater Adventures
You can’t go wrong diving or snorkeling along the coast of nearly any Southern Caribbean island. Learn how to scuba dive, paddle over vibrant coral reefs on a glass-bottomed kayak. In any port of call, wading into the warm Caribbean Sea and marveling at the breathtaking coastline around you is always a good idea.
Natural Wonders
These stunning islands are filled with lush mountains and tropical landscapes. Meander along a rainforest trail in St. Kitts, tasting local fruit as you go. In Barbados, go underground and witness the fascinating stalactite and stalagmite formations of Harrison’s Cave. Perhaps the most iconic sight of the region is the dual Pitons of St. Lucia, where you can hike to the summit or admire them from afar while lounging beachside.
Rich Foodie Experiences
Mouthwatering flavors and fresh-caught seafood await in the Southern Caribbean islands. In Antigua, board a catamaran and indulge in a fresh lobster lunch. Visit the private home and garden of a famous Antiguan chef, who will teach you how to cook Caribbean cuisine at home. Try a chocolate-making class at a cocoa plantation in Castries, or explore local markets.
Celebrity Edge - A Ship Designed to Leave the Future Behind

Day 1 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida
In the 1800s, William Lauderdale built a fort. Today, 16 million visitors come each year for miles of broad white sandy beaches, dozens of lush green golf courses, and Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale. Stroll the famous beachfront promenade, just 15 minutes from the port, and plunge into the warm Atlantic.
Days 2 & 3 - A 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 - Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis
Explore French and English colonial architecture, breathtaking beaches, and lush landscapes beneath soaring mountain peaks.
Walking distance from the St. Kitts cruise port, find the Circus and Independence Square. The Circus is a roundabout lined by local shops with artisanal batik clothing, leatherwork, and weaving. Stroll another couple blocks to Independence Square, site of the stately courthouse and cathedral. West of Basseterre, visit 350-year-old Romney Manor estate, once owned by a British earl. The grounds include magnificent gardens with exotic plants and an amazing saman tree—as old as the estate—that covers half an acre. For lunch, seek out rustic plantation homes that serve hearty West Indian fare like fresh seafood, local rotis, mango ginger chicken, and goat water stew, blending the islands’ staple protein with local papaya and breadfruit.
Day 5 - Bridgetown, Barbados
When Bajans say, "Life's a beach," they mean 80 pristine beaches, some long and straight, some hidden among cliffs, many among the world's most beautiful. Cruise to Barbados for water sports include jet skiing at lively Mullins Beach, paddle boarding at Pebbles Beach, and surfing at Atlantic Shores. Small boats will take you swimming with the turtles, or you can skipper your own Hobie Cat, try spearfishing, or lounge aboard a luxurious catamaran with drinks. Launch a 4x4 safari into the Barbados Wildlife Reserve in search of green monkeys, a rare sight outside Africa. Explore Harrison's Cave from a tram, viewing stalactites, stalagmites, and underground streams. Foodies love this “culinary capital of the Caribbean,” fusing the flavors of Africa, the West Indies, and Europe. The Atlantic provides a delicious array of fish including shark, salmon, cod, red snapper, and flying fish, a symbol of Barbados, as well as shrimp, lobster, and crabs. Chicken, beef, pork, turkey, and duck are served fried, grilled, baked, roasted, and pickled. On the side, look for cou-cou, rice and peas, pelau, and macaroni pie, along with tropical fruits.
Day 6 - Castries, St.Lucia
Fan out from Castries to find escapes for every taste. Near the port, browse Pointe Seraphine, for duty-free goods, or colorful Castries Central Market, for native spices and hand-made crafts. Sample the best of St. Lucia on a highlights tour to the Castries Market, historic Catholic church, and city square, and don't miss breathtaking views from Caribelle Batik, offering artisanal goods. Or, join a leisurely coastal cruise past Marigot Bay. Novelist James A. Michener described it as "the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean."
Day 7 - St Johns, Antigua
Cruise to Antigua, named by Christopher Columbus in 1493, and discover 365 Caribbean beaches—one for every day, every type of beach—hidden among the countless cliffs and bays. The lush rainforest, dramatic landscapes, and turquoise waters tempt eco-adventurers from swimmers to hikers to zip-line flyers.
Swim and snorkel with gentle stingrays—even feed and pet them—and snorkel the coral reefs that ring the island and teem with life. Take a scenic catamaran sail. Stop at Paradise Reef and peer below the surface of the clear Antiguan waters. Lie on a golden beach and sip a rum punch or enjoy some lobster on your St. John’s cruise.
Day 8 - Philipsburg, St.Maarten
Embrace all the beauty of the St. Maarten 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.
Both Philipsburg and Marigot are celebrated culinary capitals, and locals do enjoy outdoor cooking. Try the barbecued ribs and chicken. Leading French chefs flock to Marigot, where they give their sophisticated cuisine a Caribbean twist. Shoppers find electronics, rum, cigars, jewelry, and designer brands in the hundreds of duty-free and tax-free stores on Philipsburg’s mile-long Front Street.
Days 9 & 10 - A 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 11 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Head downtown to Las Olas Boulevard, paralleling New River, to sip lattes in outdoor cafés, shop chic boutiques, and catch concerts at the performing arts center. Stop at Stranahan House, the city's oldest structure, built in 1901 as a trading post and preserved as a museum, or explore a whole village of historic buildings at History Fort Lauderdale. Join a Segway tour along the river or a waterborne cruise of Millionaire's Row.
