All-New for 2026
We can’t wait to show you the ultra-innovative Symphony of the Seas – one of the world’s largest ships and the biggest ever to host an all-gay cruise. Five sensational performance spaces host our original Atlantis entertainment, superstar special guests, spectacular outdoor concerts, brilliant cabaret stars, massive production shows, and so much more.

No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find exciting ways to play on everything from a surf simulator to an ice rink to the rock wall.
Seven distinct neighborhoods span Symphony’s seventeen decks. Stroll the lush gardens in Central Park, enjoy a meal in one of her innovative restaurants, laugh in the Comedy Club, or take a spin on the ice rink. Maybe try a few things you never imagined, like our spine-tingling zip line. Marvel at our high-diving show, enjoy a drink at The Rising Tide bar, or learn to surf on twin FlowRiders!
Adventure beckons as we sail from gay-central Miami to three of the most alluring islands in the Caribbean. After two glorious days at sea, you’ll be ready to play on our own private beach at Royal Caribbean’s private island paradise of Labadee. It’s all ours for the day to create a truly awe-inspiring beach day of pure indulgence and fun.
We’ll head over next to gay-friendly San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our extended visit gives you plenty of time to explore Old Town, venture out to the rain forest, shop for duty-free bargains, or find the perfect spot on Condado Beach.
Finally, the charming island of St. Maarten offers a world of possibilities when Dutch and French cultures combine to create a little magic everywhere you turn. Soak up the sun on the pristine sands of Orient Beach, with options from water sports to charming French Bistros. Later, head to Maho Beach to experience the exhilarating sight of planes soaring just overhead as they land. Or strole the colorful streets of Philipsburg for duty-free shopping and local eats.
The world’s biggest festival of LGBTQ+ entertainment starts with our massive shows in Symphony’s three awesome main-stage venues. A thee-story 1300-seat main theater hosts Atlantis signature performers, special guests, dazzling production shows, original Broadway productions, Air-Otic, our uniquely original gay flying show, and many more.
Outdoors, the spectacular Aqua Theater boasts an original choreographed dive show – a true marvel of acrobatics, high-diving, and visual spectacle set against the ocean’s night sky. Discover the brilliant ice-skating show in Studio B,or take in a unique Atlantis musical concert up-close.

We’re planning even more concert shows in 2026 so get ready to be amazed!
Atlantis’ legendary parties explode throughout Symphony to create the most spectacular events on land or sea. From our themed T-dances to endless nighttime parties, there’s nothing like dancing outdoors under the ocean’s sky. The sensational AquaTheater hosts Atlantis’ legendary afternoon T-dances (and a few special events), surrounded by huge LED screens, world-class sound, and of course endless ocean views.
At night, we’ll transform the main pool deck into the ocean’s largest and most technically advanced nightclub under the stars featuring walls of video, awesome lasers and dazzling lighting.
We’ll even transform Studio B into the greatest dance club at sea. Ever. From after hours to a few special themed events, it’s a magical, silly, crazy space that never stops.
Get ready for new and dynamic experiences that have never been seen before on Atlantis with a bold new production design throughout!
Every moment on an Atlantis cruise is an opportunity to share, be it your name, your story, costume, or something a bit more scandalous. Whether having cocktails, laughing together at a comedy show, partaking in a game on the pool deck, grabbing a quick bite between events or sharing a leisurely meal, each of these moments can lead to new friends and a community that lasts long after you depart the gangway.
Our friendly team welcomes all, from large groups of friends to solo travelers, ready to bring people together, with engaging experiences for every taste, style, and pace. We make it easier than ever to connect, relax, refresh, and be a part of the wonder that makes our community strong when we all come together.
