More about VACAYA

VACAYA suits you if you want a gay cruise within an intentionally broad LGBTQ+ community that also welcomes straight allies. Its official introduction describes an adults-only vacation company offering big-ship and small-ship cruises, resorts, and tours, with full-ship charters central to its cruise program. The ship's scale and itinerary still make a major difference to the vacation you choose.

Pick your preferred pace. A big-ship cruise gives you a different range of entertainment and social choices from an intimate small-ship journey. Use the selected trip's value and booking information to check included meals, drinks, excursions, gratuities, and hotel arrangements. Solo travelers should ask about the options on that departure, and anyone with access or dietary needs should discuss them before reserving.

Choose VACAYA when the breadth of the community matters to you as much as the route. Find the ship and program that fit your plans, then enjoy sharing the vacation with people who bring different lives and stories to the same table.
