Fabulous entertainment is just the start…
Imagine feathers, glitter, sequins, sparkles and seafaring swirls all mixed up into a fantastic LGBT+ event, and all, whilst out at sea. Welcome to the Pride Cruise on Pacific Adventure, unlike any other event afloat you’ve been to!
With headliner entertainment to be confirmed, there will definitely be a HEAP of fun.
In 2022, special performers and prominent members of our communities entertained and educated guests onboard in a variety of venues.
Highlight events included the Sail Away Party, the DNA Pool Party, late-night “Adult-Only” parties in the nightclub, plus evening dress-up themes including “Studio 54”, “Neon” and “Rainbow Pride”.
Expect an array of DJs, drag kings & queens, singers, dancers, entertainers, athletes, and comedians from our wonderful LGBTQIA+ communities.

Fingers crossed there will also be the return of the “Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Festival at Sea”, with screenings on the many giant outdoor screens, on the huge indoor cinema, and throughout the in-room TV system. How gay! How fabulous!
