Virgin Voyages now has multiple pricing plans for each category. We price our groups under the Essential pricing plan. If you are interested in the Base or Premium pricing plan, please let us know at the time of booking and we can make this adjustment for you. Our prices also include the Cruising Bears fee which gives you access to all the private parties and exclusive events with the Cruising Bears -- including access to the MASSIVE SUITE, hosting nightly parties with our own private deck/hot tub AND open bar!
TR Balconies are connected so that our group can stay together and CruisingBears are free to roam at night wearing a little less clothing or Theme Party outfits.
WHATS NOT INCLUDED
Daily Gratuity: This gratuity is for the room steward, dining staff and all the people behind the scenes that make the magic happen! You can pre-pay this gratuity at a discount ($20 per person per day) and we add this charge for you when you book into our groups so there's nothing additional to pay at the end of the cruise!
Alcohol - We recommend getting a Bar Tab. You can pre-pay a $300 Bar Tab and get $50 FREE. Drinks are reasonably priced on Virgin Voyages but you will pay by the drink on the ship. Basic drinks like soda, still and sparkling water, drip coffee and non-pressed juices are included.
Premium WIFI - Basic WIFI is included but if you need faster speed for streaming or video calls, you'll need to purchase a Premium WIFI package.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
Can I join the parties and book direct or with my own travel agent?
Unfortunately, No. To be included in our pre cruise events, exclusive onboard events, shore excursions & other activities will require you make your reservation with us. These events are organized with the cruiseline and other vendors and an accurate count of attendees is determined by the reservations inside of the group. I have already booked. Can I transfer my reservation to the group? In some situations, Yes! If you haven't paid in full and your reservation was made less than 30 days ago, we are able to transfer your reservation into our group. Contact us for details on the process. Is this an all gay cruise? Not quite—and that’s actually part of what makes it special. This isn’t a full-ship charter like those hosted by Atlantis Events. Instead, we’re bringing together a large, social, and very intentional group of gay bear travelers within a regular cruise. Think of it less like a takeover… and more like having your own built-in community from the moment you step onboard. You’ll have access to all the perks of a major cruise—multiple dining options, entertainment, excursions, and space to explore--plus our curated group experience layered on top. That means organized meetups, group dinners, themed hangouts, and plenty of opportunities to connect without feeling overwhelmed. The vibe? Social when you want it, relaxed when you don’t. You can spend all day with the group, or slip away for a quiet moment and recharge—it’s entirely up to you. For a lot of our guests, this ends up being the perfect balance: a fun, welcoming bear community and the freedom to enjoy the cruise your own way. What if I need to cancel? If one or more persons cancel, the rate(s) for remaining occupants may increase. Should your booking be canceled after initial payment, cancellation fees may apply. In addition, you are subject to cruise line cancellation fees. All taxes and government fees contained herein are subject to change at any time. The cruise line may cancel your cruise should final payment not be received by due date. You may protect yourself against unforeseen circumstances for covered reasons when you purchase our Travel Protection. Cancellation policy may vary by category. Register online and inquire for full details. Virgin Voyages deposit is only refundable if cancelled within 7 days of making the deposit. Afterwards, the deposit is held as a future cruise credit. Penalties for cancellation are from the day of travel. 119-91 Days - 25% Penalty 90-61 Days - 50% Penalty 60-31 Days - 75% Penalty 30 days or less is 100% Penalty |
Is this cruise right for me?
Embarking on a cruise adventure might seem daunting, especially for individuals in our community, who might have concerns related to various factors such as size, solo travel, or feeling at ease in a diverse environment. We understand these concerns, and we want to assure you that cruises are an enjoyable and hassle-free way to travel. Cruises are designed to cater to a wide range of interests and preferences. Whether you relish unwinding by the pool, exploring new destinations, cavorting exquisite cuisine or participating in onboard activities, there is a cruise experience tailored just for you. Moreover, with our group, you won't just be a passenger; you'll be among friends. Our group values the camaraderie of the community, the activities we organize, the ample opportunities for socializing, and the friendly atmosphere that define our cruises. Can I cruise by myself? Absolutely! Cruising is ideal for people traveling solo, because it's so easy to meet other people. In fact, most ships have parties just for singles early on, so you can start to be involved right away. There are two ways to travel as a solo:
Will I get my Virgin Voyages loyalty points and status perks? YES! As a member of our group you will earn loyalty points with Virgin Voyages and receive any perks you are due based on their Latitudes program at the time of sailing. Who is organizing this cruise?
