A nine-night LGBTQ Southern Caribbean cruise sails roundtrip from Miami aboard Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas, combining island ports with drag performances, DJ sets and social programming at sea. The Big Gay Cruise: Southern Caribbean departs from PortMiami on Thursday, January 28, 2027, and returns Saturday, February 6, with stops in Willemstad, Oranjestad, Cabo Rojo and Perfect Day at CocoCay. The itinerary is designed around both destination time and onboard gatherings, offering a community-focused cruise experience for LGBTQ travelers.
The voyage is operated by Big Gay Cruise aboard Freedom of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship with pool decks, slides, dining venues, live entertainment spaces and lounges including Two70 and Music Hall. The scheduled route includes Willemstad, Curaçao, known for its Dutch colonial architecture and colorful waterfront, and Oranjestad, Aruba, where desert landscapes meet Caribbean beaches. Cabo Rojo, on the southwestern coast of the Dominican Republic, offers access to a less-developed region of the island, while Perfect Day at CocoCay features Royal Caribbean’s private island amenities in the Bahamas.
