Princess Cruises Sun Princess
An Idyllic Western Caribbean Gay Bears Halloween Cruise on brand new Princess Cruises Sphere Class Sun Princess. The laid-back Western Caribbean is home to many of the region’s most popular islands; known the world over for some of the most stunning white sand beaches, sparkling and historic ports of call, and the culture of some of the friendliest host peoples imaginable. From the gorgeous sun-splashed islands of Cozumel and Roatan to the jungles, rivers and wildlife of Belize, this bears group cruise itinerary gives you the best of it all... and 3 full days at sea for you to refresh, recharge and renew.
Ancient Mayan ruins rise up from the jungle floor, breaking the pristine beauty of the rainforest to remind all who cruise the Western Caribbean of its deep cultural heritage. White-sand beaches and pristine azure waters are just the beginning with this region of the Caribbean. With just a little exploration on a Western Caribbean cruise, you can open up a world of jungle adventures, breathtaking barrier reefs and powerful cultural connections unlike any other.
Nestled among lush rainforests teeming with life and situated on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea, Belize City is a paradise for those looking to have an unparalleled eco adventure. Take a relaxing inner tube ride down a river and through ancient caves once used for rituals by the Maya, ride horses through a stunning nature park with hundreds of species, and snorkel through the northern hemisphere's largest barrier reef on a cruise to Belize!
Cruise to Cozumel, which was once the home to the legendary Mayan goddess of the moon, Ixchel, and the moment you step onto this tropical wonder you'll understand why they believed a goddess called this island home. From white-sand beaches and azure waters to snorkeling through an immense coral reef and exploring ancient Mayan ruins, Cozumel is one of the most dynamic Caribbean cruise ports.
Sitting atop an ancient coral reef system, surrounded by gorgeous crystal blue waters and featuring a lush tropical environment, the island of Roatan looks every bit the Caribbean wonderland. Visit the local iguana farm with over 3,000 iguanas roaming the grounds, snorkel and dive the pristine local reefs or sunken ships and Mayan artifacts, or just sit on the picture-perfect beach and relax without a care in the world.
Your Ship - Brand New Sun Princess
The third ship in Princess Cruises’ history to hold the name Sun Princess, this ship has some big shoes to fill – and that she does! Princess Cruises has listened to guest feedback and built Sun Princess to be a passenger favorite! Offering almost thirty (30!!!) onboard eateries and revamped Princess entertainment and onboard activities, new guests and Princess pros will be wow-ed from the start when they step onboard Sun Princess. Impressively, Sun Princess boasts 70% balcony cabins, the most of any Princess ship, allowing guests to enjoy the panoramic views of impressive vistas like the Greek Isles or pink Caribbean beaches.
Heralding a brand new day for the cruise industry, Sun Princess is the first ship in the Princess fleet to be powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). This cleaner burning fuel will significantly reduce air emissions and marine gas oil to minimize our environmental footprint.
We know you love spending time with your favorite people, so we created a (tip)top-deck space everyone can enjoy...together. Soar like a bird 19 decks above the waves on the Sea Breeze Rollglider, a first at sea.
Perhaps the most striking feature of Sun Princess, The Dome is a multi-level covered deck and first-of-its-kind glass-enclosed dome ever constructed on a cruise ship. During the day, the Dome features an indoor/outdoor pool and unique water feature in a comfortable and relaxed space. At night, the pool becomes a stage, and the Dome completely transforms into an entertainment venue with a South Beach vibe, state-of-the-art lighting effects and stunning entertainment.
It’s more than ocean vistas in every direction; it’s being immersed in the world around you like never before. The heartbeat of our ship, our Piazza may have been inspired by the town squares of Europe, but her evolution is out of this world.
We know you want amazing entertainment, so we made our theater a showstopper. Our most technologically advanced performance space can shapeshift into different designs, even in the round, to suit all our new production shows.
We know you love great food, so we’ve elevated our dining – three decks high.
When it came to our main dining room, we dreamed big...or should we say "tall"? Three stories, an elegant design, multicourse meals guests rave about and a different experience for each level.
Soak up the relaxation. We know you crave relaxation, so we created even more places to come feel the "ahhh!". In these all-new spaces, all you gotta do to recharge is take in the ocean vistas. Our Sea View Terrace sets the tone at the front, while the new Wake View Terrace features an infinity pool and aft life redefined.
Sun Princess brings some new cabin options as well; Cove Balcony cabins are located beneath the lifeboats on Deck 6, for those who like to be close to the sound of the waves. Cabana Mini Suites feature a solarium space between the main cabin and the balcony, along with access to the private Reserved Cabana Deck space.
And all cabins on Sun Princess now feature glass-enclosed showers... no more plastic shower curtains!

Fort Lauderdale, Florida One of the most gay-friendly cities in Florida and a perfect destination for any visitor, Fort Lauderdale is home to beautiful sandy beaches and an exciting gay scene. Known as 'America's Venice' due to its extensive canal system it draws boaters as well as beach-goers, attracting more than 10 million visitors annually. Fort Lauderdale boasts world-class theaters, museums, sightseeing, and shopping. The hub of the city’s gay community is Wilton Manors, the residential neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale that is iconic for its high concentration of gay bars, restaurants and clubs.
Plan to stay a few days before or after your sailing to enjoy this resort-style town; have a beach day, shop and grab a drink in Wilton Manors... you'll be glad you did.
Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel is Mexico's largest Caribbean island, situated about 40 miles south of Cancun. There is only one main town on the island - San Miguel de Cozumel. Less than five percent of the island is developed; and most of the undeveloped land is rugged jungle with quiet, deserted beaches. Besides quiet relaxation, a few small Mayan ruins and some general water sports, diving and snorkeling are the main attractions here. Also a highlight is the Chankanaab National Park. At the center of this park there is a land-locked pool (cenote) connected by an underground tunnel to the sea. You can snorkel in the sea and the beach at the park is wonderful - one of the best on the island; it’s perfect for sunbathing. The San Gervasio ruins, which date back to 100 BC, can be found on Cozumel.
Belize City, Belize
Puerto Rico's capital and largest city, San Juan sits on the island's Atlantic coast. Its widest beach fronts the Isla Verde resort strip, known for its bars, nightclubs and casinos. Cobblestoned Old San Juan features colorful Spanish colonial buildings and 16th-century landmarks including El Morro and La Fortaleza, massive fortresses with sweeping ocean views, as well as the Paseo de la Princesa bayside promenade.
Roatan, Honduras
Both the Spanish and the English fought for the colonization and control of Roatan with neither party ever settling on Roatan permanently, yet both the English and the Spanish strongly influenced the culture, language, and heritage we see on Roatan today. Roatan is arguably the most diverse community in Honduras. The heritage of those living on Roatan ranges from expats from Italy, Europe, Canada, and the United States. There are also the Mestizo Indians native to the island and the mainland. The visitor to Roatan can soar as high as a bird through the jungle canopy on a seemingly hundreds-of-feet-high zipline after breakfast, by lunchtime be getting your amateur zoologist on snuggling monkeys and sloths at an animal refuge, and be swimming with tropical fish and sea turtles among the coral right before dinner.
