Embark on the Ultimate Mediterranean Eclipse Adventure with VACAYA!

Set Sail on VACAYA’s First Mediterranean Adventure: A Total Eclipse Experience

Get ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime with VACAYA’s inaugural Mediterranean Cruise in 2026. From August 6-15, 2026, you’ll sail roundtrip from the vibrant city of Barcelona aboard the luxurious Celebrity Equinox. This 9-night adventure will take you across two continents and three stunning countries—Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. Along the way, you’ll experience jaw-dropping moments, including a once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse at sea.

An Unforgettable Voyage Awaits

Step aboard Celebrity Equinox and sail away from one of Europe’s most iconic gay capitals. Each day brings new opportunities to explore ancient cities, picturesque coastlines, and cultures rich with history. Imagine yourself wandering through the narrow streets of Lisbon, discovering the treasures of Cádiz, or venturing into the mystique of Tangier, Morocco. This is the Med cruise that Vacayans have been dreaming of, where every stop feels like stepping into a storybook.

A Total Eclipse Under the Stars – With Bonnie Tyler!

The excitement reaches its peak on August 12, 2026, as we gather on deck for an unforgettable afternoon party under the open sky. As the sun begins to fade behind the moon, the sea will be bathed in surreal shades of twilight. The moon’s slow dance across the sky will culminate in a breathtaking total eclipse, a rare celestial event that will leave you awe-struck. But the magic doesn’t end there! As the stars twinkle into view, the legendary Bonnie Tyler will take the stage to serenade us with her iconic “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” This is more than a concert—it’s a night where music, nature, and community come together for an extraordinary experience.

Special Onboard Events: Mr. Gay Europe Finals

As if a total eclipse and a concert from Bonnie Tyler weren’t enough, the Mr. Gay Europe Finals will also take place onboard. With delegates from 20 European countries competing for the prestigious title, this event will celebrate the talent, beauty, and advocacy of LGBT+ individuals from across the continent. It’s a unique opportunity to witness this spectacular showcase, further amplifying the sense of unity and celebration among all VACAYA guests.
