Splash of Pride is a queer-centric group sailing on Virgin Voyage’s Valiant Lady. We’re building upon the best of what Virgin Voyages has to offer, but adding well, a Splash of Pride! Splash of Pride is this the most fabulous sailing of the year!
Splash of Pride centers around celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride for everyone in the community, and in the spirit of pride, we welcome our allies, including friends and family. Keep in mind that Virgin Voyages is an adults-only cruise line, so all sailors must be 18 years and over to join us. If you are an ally, please be mindful that our Splash of Pride events intentionally center around LGBTQ+ folks, and we ask you to be respectful of one another.
Virgin Voyages is an elevated, luxury cruise line strongly committed to inclusivity and diversity. Making sure all sailors feel welcomed aboard and wherever they travel, Virgin Voyages has become the most LGBTQ+-friendly cruise line in the industry.
Yes, this is a group trip and not a charter. Virgin Voyages attracts an extremely diverse array of sailors that are there to have a good time.
Splash of Pride is not a charter. It’s a group sailing on the existing itinerary. You can read more about this itinerary on the Virgin Voyages website.
While we love a good party, Splash of Pride is not a circuit party or circuit-like festival. We’re offering something different for those who love a good time but are looking for a different vibe. Don't worry if you still want to get your party on. Virgin Voyages is famously known for its parties onboard and this sailing is staying overnight in Bermuda. That means you'll have all night (and morning) to party.
Yes, even if you booked your voyage separately, you can always join our group events by purchasing a Splash of Pride pass.
At this time, air travel is not included in the Splash of Pride package. Therefore, each guest is responsible for booking their own flights. We strongly suggest that you arrive at least one day before embarkation day to avoid any unforeseen delays. Bestmates has partners with several area hotels if you'd like to book with us.If you must arrive the same day as embarkation, your flight should arrive by 12p. Disembarkation is from 7a-11a, but book your return flight after 12p to be safe. You must be onboard by 5pm, no exceptions.
Bar Tab is an onboard credit that can be used for any premium drinks such as alcohol, fresh pressed juices, smoothies, and non-drip coffee. Sailor Loot is onboard credit for anything (including drinks). You can go shopping, book a spa treatment, take a cooking class, and more.
You may choose to pay at least 20% upfront as a deposit, with the remainder due 90 days out from the sailing. Affirm financing is also available. Cancel or change the booking up to 120 days prior to sailing for a refund, except the deposit which will be a future voyage credit valid up to 1 year. Cancel or change the booking up to 45 days prior to sailing for a future voyage credit valid up to 1 year. Name changes accepted up to 48 hours prior to sailing. To avoid missing any deadlines, contact your travel advisor at least 2 days before embarkation or contact Sailor Services directly.
