STELLAR ENTERTAINMENT
People often ask, “What’s the difference in entertainment between VACAYA and other companies out there?”Well…
At VACAYA, they believe entertainment should be plentiful, unexpected, and constantly evolving, surrounding you with bold performances and immersive experiences you won’t find anywhere else. While a few fan favorites may return year after year, our goal is to have roughly 75% of our lineup be brand new to each big-ship VACAYA cruise. Unlike other companies, who often rely on the same performers trip after trip after trip (ad infinitum), VACAYA chooses reinvention. And that’s a deliberate choice, because repetition isn’t innovation, and evolution doesn’t happen on autopilot.
They prefer to keep things fresh, fearless, and unmistakably VACAYA. And because of that, Edge Media calls VACAYA entertainment“packed with top-tier entertainers – a hallmark of the brand, which has quickly risen to best-in-class for queer travelers.”
COMFY ROOMS
Your sanctuary awaits. After a day of pool‑deck revelry and island sunshine, slip into a stateroom or suite on Celebrity Beyond that’s designed to exhale with you – plush bedding, smart storage, serene lighting, and ocean‑kissed horizons that reset your soul. It’s modern comfort with just‑right details, perfect for catnaps, glam‑ups, and slow mornings with coffee and sea views.
Choose your style of cozy: value‑savvy Interior, sunlit Ocean View, breezy Infinite Veranda with its indoor‑outdoor flexibility, spa‑minded AquaClass, or all‑out indulgence in The Retreat’s suites. Wherever you land, expect thoughtful touches and a quiet, private haven that balances VACAYA’s high‑energy fun with restorative calm.
DELICIOUS MEALS
On Celebrity Beyond, dining is a full-sensory celebration – from the four distinctive main restaurants with rotating menus (Cosmopolitan, Cyprus, Normandie, and Tuscan) to show-stopper specialties like Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, Eden’s immersive dinner experience, and flame-kissed favorites at Rooftop Garden Grill. Graze oceanside at Oceanview Café, linger over pastries at Café al Bacio, or indulge at Fine Cut Steakhouse. AquaClass guests savor wellness-inspired dishes at Blu, while suite guests enjoy Luminae’s elevated menus. Whether you’re craving sushi, Mediterranean sunshine on a plate, or late-night comfort bites between VACAYA parties, Beyond pairs wow-factor cuisine with relaxed, come-as-you-are options, always with impeccable service and a toast-worthy wine list.
Specialty restaurants are an additional charge, but there are many complimentary options.
ACTIVITIES & PARTIES
With VACAYA, you’re in complete control of your own schedule. You can hop from one activity to the next or simply relax at the pool. Our activities include meetups, pool games, fitness classes, V-Dances (VACAYA’s twist on the classic T-Dance), welcoming evening parties, and so much more. Part of the fun of each and every VACAYA cruise vacation is our theme parties. And in an industry-leading timeline, you’ll have your party themes 120 days out!
NUDE SUN DECK
VACAYA’s sexy sun deck allows you to go au naturel. Perhaps you’re curious about what a clothing optional experience is really like, or maybe you want to get some sun without the tan lines, or perhaps you just want to embrace your natural look in a sea of body positivity. Whatever the reason, VACAYA offers you this experience. So go ahead… indulge in the company of like-minded adventurers!
GIVING BACK
One of VACAYA’s main missions is to give back to the communities we visit. They view travel as a truly transformative experience. Gay travel specifically has changed the way people all over the world view our community. They have given us so much by welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers with open arms. Now, it’s a chance to give back to them through VACAYA’s ReachOUT program. Stay tuned for details on the trip’s GET READY page!

Kick off VACAYA’s 10th Birthday Season Celebration with ease from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades, one of the most convenient cruise gateways on earth. Just minutes from FLL airport, it’s a breeze to arrive, drop your bags, and step into vacation mode. With golden beaches, the Riverwalk, and LGBTQ+ hotspots in nearby Wilton Manors, your pre-cruise day can be as chill or as celebratory as you’d like. It’s the perfect, stress-free launchpad for our week aboard Celebrity Beyond. Then tonight, gear up for first party, which is all about love… THIS IS ME: VD EDITION! Wear a little somethin’ somethin’ that lets other Vacayans know who you are and where you’re from, but do it in RED, PINK, and WHITE!
PRO TIPS:
- Fly into FLL for the fastest transfers; MIA works too (plan extra time).
- Arrive at least a day early to enjoy the beach or Wilton Manors nightlife.

SUN-FILLED DAY & SIZZLING NIGHT AT SEA

Sea Day Shenanigans are on tap today as VACAYA delivers pure joy from sunrise to starry night. Sleep in, sip poolside mimosas, then gear up for Sister Helen Holy’s infamous Church Bingo – an uproarious communion of camp, cheek, and blessedly big prizes. Expect hymns of hilarity, gospel-level giggles, and a whole lot of “can I get an amen?” as the queen of the pulpit brings the house down.
As the afternoon turns to early evening, the energy shifts to VACAYA’s first V‑Dance of the week, with DJs who know exactly when to drop that hands‑in‑the‑air anthem. Today is our Stoplight Soirée, where your color says it all: wear green if you’re ready to mix and mingle, red if you’re off the market but ready to make friends, or yellow if you live in the magical in‑between.

Ship
CELEBRITY BEYOND
Celebrity’s Edge Class redefined elegance and grace at sea, and Celebrity Beyond is the masterful third act that perfects the formula. As the third ship in the series, Beyond benefits from everything learned on Edge and Apex, fine-tuning design, flow, and guest experiences to elevate every moment. Spaces feel grander and more intuitive: the expanded Grand Plaza hums from morning espresso to late-night sparkle, the Resort Deck is more open and social, and the Magic Carpet still delivers jaw-dropping ocean moments. The Theatre dazzles with next gen tech, while Eden remains a lush, multi level playground for culinary delights and creative performance. It’s the evolution of modern luxury – sharper, brighter, and boldly Beyond.
This gorgeous ship also refines the art of living at sea. Infinite Veranda staterooms blur the line between indoors and ocean with even smarter details, while The Retreat turns suite life into a private, all-immersive sanctuary. The multi-terraced Sunset Bar (your V Team’s favorite space on board) pours golden-hour perfection, while the Rooftop Garden, with its integrated hot tubs, takes VACAYA’s Red Light District to soaring new heights.
Put simply, Beyond offers more comfort, more connection, and more ways to savor this 10th Birthday Celebration with VACAYA.
THE PLAY SPACES
Beyond features some of the most beautiful play spaces we’ve ever seen, including a state-of-the-art Main Theater, the perfect Pool Deck, the tantalizing Eden, and the bustling Grand Plaza.
THE MAGIC CARPET
INFINITE VERANDAS
The most transformational aspect of Beyond’s stateroom design is the Infinite Veranda, where with the touch of a button, your entire living space becomes the veranda, letting you walk right out to the water’s edge. What had once been the separated veranda space is now part of your room – making Beyond’s staterooms among the most spacious at sea. For those who’ve sailed the rivers of Europe before, this innovative veranda design will be quite familiar. VIEW VIDEO

ROOM DESCRIPTIONS
Room descriptions and sizing have been provided to VACAYA by Celebrity Cruises. Room sizes and layouts may vary slightly within the same category. For rooms with a capacity greater than 2, the additional bedding is a combination of sofa beds and/or upper berths. Prices are subject to change at any time – with or without notice.
Be “In The Know” about Obstructions: The standard cruise industry definition of an obstruction or partial obstruction is if the view of the horizon is interrupted when an average height person (170cm or 5’7”) is standing at the balcony’s handrail. If the horizon line is blocked in its entirety, the view is considered fully “obstructed.” If any part of the view of the horizon line is blocked by a lifeboat, overhang, support beam, or any other fixed apparatus (not including moveable cleaning equipment), the view is considered “partially obstructed.” If the horizon line can be viewed in its entirety when standing at the handrail, the view is not considered to be obstructed in any way.
‘FEEL THE BEAT” ROOMS
Rooms designated as “Feel the Beat” Rooms are on the deck directly below the dance floor, or near a lower-deck venue VACAYA anticipates running later into the night. These rooms are perfect for anyone who tends to stay at parties until the last beat drops. Rooms that are on lower floors beneath the dance floor may also feel vibrations from the bass and occasionally hear the music itself, but that will typically be at a much lower level than the “Feel the Beat” Rooms on the deck just below the dance floor.

TRIP INSURANCE: GET IT!
There’s one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, “should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment?” Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At VACAYA (and at Purple Light Vacations), we’ve always believed Trip Insurance is critical to the vacation planning process. That’s why VACAYA took special care to integrate the purchase opportunity into their online booking process.
Nothing breaks VACAYA’s heart more than hearing from guests who elect not to purchase insurance, but then something tragic – a death, the loss of a home, etc. – happens and they’re unable to attend the event. As painful as it for us, VACAYA is unable to be your insurance in those moments. And as sad as the stories are, they report that they are unable to break their Terms & Conditions with you. The reason for that is because to maintain their Seller of Travel licenses and to comply with all regulations, they must administer our Terms & Conditions equitably across all guests. Failure to do so risks VACAYA’s very existence.
VACAYA recommends a “Cancel For Any Reason” or CFAR policy for everyone, and for good reason: if you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers you against total loss. It’s also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.
So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️

Jonathan has gone out of his way each time we have used Purple Light Vacations! We always know we will get the best price and best location on a ship or at a hotel. Our favorite part is the destination guides that he provides so we can know the best of each city.
Purple Light Vacations handled our two-week trip to France, including Paris, Normandy and Provence. It was a pleasure working with them and they reflected professionalism, expertise and responsiveness at every step. They clearly understood our needs and preferences and put together a superb trip based on their keen experience and knowledge. They were gracious and accommodating, and supported and checked in with us all along and made us feel very secure.
I was lucky enough to find Jonathan just by googling. He was very personable, friendly and professional. He was able to put our entire trip together in just a few days and checked on us every day of our trip to make sure we were satisfied. He is the best and only travel agent I will use going forward.
Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations has become our favorite Travel Agent. His attention to detail and his understanding of our preferences for travel is unprecedented. His knowledge of destinations around the world made our vacations spectacular. PLV gets my highest recommendation!
Jonathan Geen and Purple Light Vacations are beyond superior. Jonathan has planned two European vacations for my husband and I and we are thrilled with his knowledge of what to do, his research of beautiful places to stay, and his communication and planning leading up to and throughout the vacation itself. I encourage you to try Purple Light as your travel agent and see how much easier and richer your vacation experience can be.
Jonathan and his team pulled out all the stops for our boys trip! I planned a very last minute trip for me, my dad and son and this team completed an entire agenda full of entertainment, food stops, and must see places! Truly impressed with his customer service, attention to detail, and responsiveness. If these guys are helping you plan a trip, you can rest assured that it will be amazing!
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime in France for our 20 year anniversary, thanks to Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations. His ideas for hotels, itinerary and tours were spot on. He was completely able to gauge what we would love with just a short conversation and a few emails. Thank you Jonathan. You're a rockstar and we will definitely be using you again and again!
Finding an excellent travel agent today is extremely rare and we can honestly say, that Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations is an absolute gem of a find. He helped us find the best package deals for our trip when my husband and I were in a tough situation. We were impressed by the great deals he offered us. We are so grateful for all he has done for us and our travel plans. It certainly made our lives so much easier. My honest suggestion to anyone who needs a travel agent today is look no further! Book with Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations!We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations.
Thank you Jonathan for making my dream come true! Bora Bora has been on our mind for years; for its exotic and remote location you are required to pay high $$$$! I thought it wasn't definitely within our budget.I was over the moon when Jonathan proved me wrong and found us an amazing deal!
He made all our arrangements and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed right down to the time of our departure. During our trip everything was seamless! I couldn't ask for a better experience
My husband and I recently took a trip to Thailand on a vacation that was booked thru Purple Light. Southeast Asia was new to us, and we wanted a bit of extra help. We got a ton of extra help, for free! Purple Light was with us the whole way- from early stages of planning to the actual booking and throughout our travel. When we arrived to our hotel room, flat-out beat from travel, there was champagne on ice to greet us. Wow! We've used them before, and will absolutely use them from now on. I just can't recommend them highly enough to our family and friends.
My husband and I just came back from our 5 year anniversary trip to Cancun. We told Jonathan the dates we wanted, our budget and what sorts of things we were looking to do. He got right on it! Booked us airfare, an amazing all-inclusive resort, transportation to and from the airport (which I wouldn't have even thought of!) and even booked us a trip to Chichén-Itza. He even gave us some tips on what do and where to visit while we were there. Easiest trip we've ever taken! Purple Light will always and forever be my go-to for any traveling! Will definitely be referring them to any of my friends and family
We love Purple Light Vacations. We have used them for quite a few trips and they always surpass our expectations. Jonathon is the absolute best. He takes care of all of the details and is very prompt in answering all of our questions. We will definitely use Purple Light Vacations for all of our traveling needs.
Purple Light has made planning several vacations easier for me. They worked out a family trip getting parents and siblings in from various places. More significantly, they helped us arrange two international vacations. After recommending Argentina to us, Jonathan took care of everything and it was probably our best vacation together ever. He also recommended the RSVP river boat cruise up the Danube from Budapest to Prague...wonderful trip! We've booked an Atlantis cruise through P.L. as well. Of course we could have booked on our own, but using Purple Light was so less stressful and provided...extra help and advice at no extra cost!
I used Jonathan and Purple Light to book a trip for my birthday celebration. He was very helpful and from the very first email contact to the end of the cruise Jonathan handled everything with excellence. His communication during the booking process to the day of starting the trip was very thorough and he missed no details. I will definitely be using Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations again for my future vacation and travel needs.
Jonathan of Purple Light Vacations guided us through the entire process to book our Atlantis Caribbean cruise at no additional charge to us. He kept us informed on all the details of the cruise and events happening on/off the boat. Upon arrival on the ship, a bottle of Merlot was waiting for us. Upon disembarkation, an email was waiting for us to see how we enjoyed the cruise as well as a card in the mail to welcome us home. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated. I hold Purple Light Vacations as the gold standard for high quality travel services.
Purple Light has booked vacations for us at Disneyland, Aruba, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Bahamas, Brazil and two cruises and all this since January 2016. We are discerning frequent travelers with a budget in mind. Working with Purple Light gives us the confidence to keep planning more travel!
Normally I research and book hotels on my own. This year, however, I was extremely busy at work and I had no time to do this, so I reached out to Purple Light for their help in planning a trip to the Greek islands, and am glad I did! Purple Light recommended excellent hotels that I probably would not have found on my own, and they even provided helpful city island overviews that were referenced often. In addition, they helped fill in some of our time with tours that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Purple Light and plan to use them again for my next trip!
We used Purple Light when we booked our Atlantis P.V. Mexico Resort Vacation. With no additional cost to us, Purple Light made what would have been a good vacation...an amazing vacation. They handled everything (airline, shuttles, etc.). Additionally, they provided excellent insight on what to expect on our vacation and what to see and what to avoid. I give them my highest recommendation.
Thank you Purple Light Vacations, and to Jonathan especially. Jonathan helped us plan an amazing Cuba Cruise for my bachelorette trip. It is not easy to book a trip for a large group including all of the flights, rooming/accommodations and excursions. Luckily, we just proposed dates, destinations in mind with a budget and Purple Light took care of the rest. Jonathan researched the options, made suggestions and provided us with great advice. He was so patient and informative throughout our planning process, and really made sure that everything worked out well.
After such a great experience, we also asked Purple Light in helping us plan a cruise for our parents too. Our parents were very happy and impressed with the entire trip. Thank you!!
We used Purple Light Vacations to help us book our hotel rooms in Copenhagen and Stockholm recently during a Baltic cruise. I had previously booked room through an online travel website but I'm glad I decided to go with Jonathan instead, or our hotel choices would have been in the wrong area. You can trust Purple Light Vacations to make sure you have a wonderful, surprise free vacation!
I took a short weekend vacation to Catalina Island with a friend and reached out to Purple Light and was amazed how quick they got me a hotel room and a list of great things to do! They went above and beyond!
I don't think I will take a trip without them!!
Thanks Jonathan and Purple Light!
We were in New Orleans for Southern Decadence. Purple Light Vacations recommended a spectacular hotel right in the area we were interested in staying. We have also traveled to Italy, France, and Barcelona where each of their recommendations was excellent! Everything went exactly as planned.
Jonathan and Purple Light are great! Had them manage our reservations for a couple of Atlantis cruises and always been incredibly responsive and on top of things
I used Purple Light's Copenhagen overview to plan for restaurants and get a sense of must-see sights in the city. The suggestions were perfect and I don't want to take another trip without consulting Purple Light before I travel. Recommended for a first-class vacation that leaves you free to spend your time enjoying the city rather than struggling to navigate it!
