Miami, Cozumel and Bimini: Two Bad Tourists’ Caribbean Adventures (Part Two)

The Caribbean sells itself, really: perpetual sunshine, powder-white beaches, swaying palms, crystalline waters, and endless adventure opportunities. So it’s no surprise that, after the success of our last cruise in tropical waters, our guests voted to return as part of the 5 Nights in the Riviera Maya cruise from January 11–16, 2026. This time our route will take us from Miami to Cozumel (Playa del Carmen), where Mexico makes sweet love to the Caribbean, and then round to Virgin Voyages’ Beach Club at Bimini for a pool party, adventure sports, and plenty of cocktails. Virgin Voyages is LGBTQ+-friendly, adult-only, and has cruising down to a fine art. You can expect feisty entertainment, award-winning cuisine, and themed parties that bring the house (or should that be boat) down! Benefits of being part of our gay group include excursions, group dinners, cocktail parties, special events, and more. Don’t wait and book yourself some Caribbean action now! 

SPECIAL OFFER!
