Depart Miami at 06:00 PM
Miami has for decades been a hotspot for the LGBTQ+ community which is still strong with locals, visitors and even foreigners mixing together creating a sense of openness and diversity. Plus, Miami Beach is one of a kind – still a top destination famous for its beaches, architecture and the energy that pulses into the night.
Enjoy a day at sea by taking advantage of all the ship has to offer. Spend the day lounging poolside and soaking up the sun with your favorite cocktail in hand or sign up for group fitness classes including yoga, meditation, cycling, HIIT classes, and more.
When it's time to eat, choose from 20+ eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin star chefs. Later in the evening, enjoy shows onboard which were developed by the world’s most-talked-about producers and artists. With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment on board is something you’ve never seen before.
Arrive to Puerto Plata at 09:00 AM
With its silver fog covering the mountain tops and shining coastline by the sea, Puerto Plata earned its name as the Port of Silver. Its lush mountains and rushing waterfalls dare adventurers to explore more, while its sandy beaches and colorful cityscape lure in sightseers to slow down.
Depart Puerto Plata at 6:00 PM
Arrive to San Juan at 12:00 PM
Puerto Rico is considered the most gay-friendly island in all of the Caribbean making it an ideal destination. No trip to Puerto Rico is complete without visiting the island’s capital, San Juan and indulging in the unique culture, gastronomy and nightlife. Popular neighborhoods include Old San Juan, Isla Verdo, Condado and Ocean Park. The LGBT+ bars and clubs are spread out across the city, but you'll find that most places in San Juan are gay-friendly. You can spend half a day exploring Old San Juan where you’ll find blue cobbled streets, open plazas and lots of great boutique shops – all styled in Spanish architecture.
Depart San Juan at 10:00 PM
Arrive to St. Croix at 08:00 AM
St. Croix's beauty is protected by the National Park Service, so its natural wonders still feel undiscovered. Go down one of the only underwater trails in the U.S. at Buck Island Reef National Monument, lay on the uninhabited sands of Turtle Beach, or go way above sea level to reach Point Udall—the easternmost point in the United States. Hiking through St. Croix's hills leads you to hidden bays while strolling the streets takes you to a rum distillery.

We don't like to place an age limit on the trip. But in saying that it's best suitable for ages 18+ and that guests are healthy and can get into the spirit of the trip. Our average age range is usually between mid-'30s and mid-'60s but we've also had younger and older on past trips. Our trips are also active and include many walking tours so it may not be suitable if you if you can't spend several hours on your feet, walking around the city and up and down hills.
Absolutely! Although we are not able to match you with a roommate, Virgin Voyages offers private, solo traveler cabins with a modest single supplement. The majority of guests on our trips are solo travelers so you won't be alone!
