Trip Overview

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.
