June is Pride Month, a time when cities around the world burst into vibrant celebrations of love, acceptance, and diversity. But did you know that some of the best Pride events can also be found at sea? Celebrity Cruises, consistently ranked among the top 10 most LGBTQ+ friendly cruise lines, is taking Pride celebrations to new heights. In 2025, they are expanding their annual fleet-wide Pride celebration to encompass the entire month of June.

Across their award-winning ships, Celebrity Cruises will host daily LGBTQ+ gatherings, fabulous guest entertainers on select ships, a flag-raising ceremony, and their signature Pride Party at Sea, which will cap off the festivities in style. With over 50 cruises worldwide, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to celebrate Pride Month on the open ocean.

LGBTQ+ Events Onboard

From the moment you step aboard, Celebrity Cruises makes every effort to create an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Their popular LGBTQ+ Welcome Parties, held on the first night of nearly every cruise, are open to all guests. These events are fantastic ice breakers, offering a chance for guests to mingle and make new friends. Beyond the Welcome Party, Celebrity hosts various LGBTQ+ events and social hours throughout each voyage, ensuring there’s always something fun and engaging happening.

Same-Sex Weddings

Celebrity Cruises is proud to offer legal same-sex marriages on board. This groundbreaking service became possible after a transformative vote in Malta, where the majority of Celebrity’s fleet is registered. The Maltese parliament’s decision passed with a resounding 66-1 vote, allows Celebrity to legally recognize same-sex marriages performed on board, with the fleet’s captains officiating the ceremonies. This move solidifies Celebrity Cruises’ commitment to equality and inclusivity.

First Legal Same-Sex Marriage at Sea

In January 2018, Celebrity Equinox® hosted a historic event: the first legal same-sex marriage at sea on a major cruise line. Francisco Vargas and Benjamin Gray were the lucky couple who made history, tying the knot in a ceremony highlighting Celebrity’s dedication to celebrating love in all its forms.

Whether you’re looking to join in the daily celebrations, meet new friends at LGBTQ+ social hours, or even get married at sea, Celebrity Cruises offers an unforgettable Pride Month experience. Book your cruise today through your local travel agent or https://cruiseconnection.be/ and get ready to celebrate Pride like never before.
