Sailing snapshot
This 3-night ocean sailing runs from Port of Palm Beach, Florida to Port of Palm Beach, Florida and lists 3 distinct stops. It is a full-ship LGBTQ+ charter, so the community program takes over the vessel.
Trip overview
RU5H’s inaugural full-ship festival aboard Margaritaville at Sea Paradise runs October 2–5, 2026, from Palm Beach to the Bahamas and back. The current source lists the $397 quad and $697 double interior categories as sold out with waitlists. Oceanview fares start at $797 per person sharing, and a solo stateroom is $1,197 for one traveler; both are marked limited. The three-night program brings announced parties, meetups and workshops into the ship’s dining and daytime routine, so choose the social speed that suits you. Port/admin fees and prepaid gratuities are additional. Confirm the exact remaining cabin and final charges before booking; the lowest historical fare is no longer the same thing as the lowest available room.

About the operator
RU5H is an adults-only, gay-men and male-identifying full-ship travel brand with a deliberately sex-positive, party-forward rhythm. It suits travelers who want big-DJ energy, social connection, and room to choose their own adventure—not a conventional cruise with a rainbow sticker slapped on the brochure.
