CELEBRITY APEX · SEVEN NIGHTS · CARIBBEAN
The sea has never
been this proud.
November 6 – 13, 2027 · Departing Port Canaveral / Orlando
Three ports. Three sea days. Four private parties. One extraordinary week at sea with the people who make you feel most yourself. Waves of Pride returns for 2027; bigger, longer, and unmistakably elevated.
WAVES OF PRIDE 2027
A cruise that finally matches the way you want to travel.
We built Waves of Pride on a simple idea: this community doesn't want a party bolted onto a cruise. It wants a beautifully run voyage that happens to be entirely ours. For 2027 we're going further in every direction — seven nights instead of five, Celebrity Apex rather than a smaller ship, and a week that's as good at 11 a.m. as it is at 11 p.m.
Your fare includes the Classic Beverage Package, Wi-Fi and gratuities before you add a thing. Which means the price you see is very close to the price you pay.
THE SHIP
Celebrity Apex
An Edge-class ship designed by Kelly Hoppen and Tom Wright — the architect behind the Burj Al Arab. The Magic Carpet, a cantilevered lounge that moves up the side of the hull. Infinite Verandas that turn your entire stateroom into open air at the touch of a button. A Rooftop Garden, a Solarium, and a spa that people book the cruise for.
It is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful ships afloat — and for seven nights in November 2027, a very large part of it is ours.
WHERE WE’RE GOING
Key West, Grand Cayman & Cozumel
Key West
Sunday 11/7 · 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM
The southernmost city in the country and one of the most joyfully queer places in it. Six and a half hours, no rental car required. A group activity is planned here — more to come.
George Town
Tuesday 11/9 · 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Grand Cayman. Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City, and the clearest water on the itinerary. A full nine hours ashore.
Cozumel
Thursday 11/11 · 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Mexico's Caribbean coast. World-class reef diving, beach clubs, and ten hours to use however you like. A group activity is planned here — more to come.
ALWAYS INCLUDED
Everything below is already in your fare.
Not an upsell. Not a package. Included for every full-fare guest in an Inside, Ocean View, Veranda, Concierge or AquaClass stateroom.
Classic Beverage Package
Cocktails, wine, beer and spirits — plus coffee, tea, juices and bottled water. Upgrade to Premium onboard if you like. Guests under 21 or who don't drink are served the non-alcoholic selections.
Basic Wi-Fi
One device per guest, the whole week. Post the photo from the pool deck, not from the airport on the way home.
Gratuities
Already paid. No envelopes on the last night, no line item on your final folio.
Dining & Entertainment
Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main venues, most onboard activities and shows, and the fitness center. Specialty dining is à la carte.
Access to the four private Waves of Pride events comes from the separate entertainment fee, not from your cruise fare. It's billed by us rather than by Celebrity.
Inside, Ocean View, Veranda, Concierge and AquaClass: $149 per person through September 10, 2026, $199 after. Retreat suites: $99 per person, whenever you book.
Suite guests receive the Premium Beverage and Wi-Fi packages instead, and a flat $99 entertainment fee regardless of when they book. Retreat suites are available at prevailing rates with a $1,000 deposit per stateroom.
WHO’S ONBOARD
Couples of thirty years, and people who booked alone last month.
Late twenties through retirement, with the middle of the group somewhere around forty-five. First-time cruisers and people with a Captain's Club tier they're quietly proud of. Men, women, non-binary guests, and the allies and chosen family they brought with them.
What they have in common is wanting the week to be good rather than loud. Beautiful ship, long sea days, excellent food — and four nights that are entirely ours.
Every guest agrees to the same code of conduct. It's short, we mean it, and it's worth two minutes of your time before you book.
THE WEEK
Seven nights, roughly.
Long days ashore, longer nights on board, and three sea days in the middle that belong entirely to us.
ONBOARD
Four private parties. One very good DJ.
A Solarium pool party under the glass dome, plus three more events we're scheduling now. Our own DJ, our own production and lighting, and a bar running on the package that's already in your fare — all of it exclusive to Waves of Pride guests.
Drinks at our parties are served from the Classic Beverage Package that's already in your fare. There's no separate bar tab, no drink tickets, no math.
Access to the four events themselves comes from the entertainment fee, which is separate from your cruise fare.
Covered by the entertainment fee, $149 per person through September 10, 2026, $199 after. Retreat suites are a flat $99.
STATEROOMS
From $1,609.40 per person — or $135.94 a month.
Cruise fare, taxes, fees, port expenses and gratuities. Nothing hidden underneath. Rates are per person, double occupancy; the Edge Single is a one-adult cabin priced as a single. Spread it with FlexPay: $250 down, then ten equal monthly payments.

Prime Ocean View
- Cruise fare & taxes$1,653.40

Third and fourth guests from $1,006.40. Entertainment fee and optional bus transportation are additional.
Full Pricing & Payment ScheduleThe early-booking window closed. Almost nothing else did.
We'd rather be straight with you about what you missed than pretend it didn't happen — because what you missed is smaller than you'd think.
What hasn't changed
The fare. Taxes, fees, port expenses and gratuities. The Classic Beverage Package and Basic Wi-Fi. Complimentary parking at Sand Lake Road for the whole week. Every private party. The ship, the itinerary, and the people you'd be sailing with.
What you missed
$110 per person, at most. The entertainment fee is $199 rather than $149, and the bus from Orlando is $60 per person round trip rather than complimentary. If you're driving to the port yourself, it's $50. Retreat suites were never affected — that fee is a flat $99 whenever you book. That is the entire difference.
What's still on the table
$250 per person holds your cabin, and the balance is spread across up to ten monthly payments through August 2027. Celebrity charges no cruise fare cancellation fee through April 30, 2027 — so booking now costs you very little to change your mind about. The entertainment fee is non-refundable, and cancellation penalties apply after that date; the full schedule is published.
NOVEMBER 6 - 13, 2027
Our block won't stay open forever.
A $250 per person deposit holds your cabin, then up to ten equal monthly payments — and if you book before September 10, you save up to $110 per person.
