The whole ship, and everyone aboard is there for the same reason.

A lifestyle charter is not a group booking on a regular cruise. Bliss charters the entire vessel, sets the programming and the rules, and every guest sails under them. We book these as your travel advisor. The fare, the terms and the cabin inventory are Bliss's.

Travel by Trinidad LLC holds a reseller of travel agreement for full-ship lifestyle charters and is the seller of travel on every charter cabin. Bookings are completed on Bliss's own reservation system. Cabin availability is allocated by the operator. Charter terms apply.

Upcoming Bliss sailings.

Dates, ships and ports as Bliss publishes them. Fares and open cabins change often, so each sailing links to its live page on blisscruise.com.

How booking one works.

Live availability and pricing sit on Bliss's booking system, which is the only accurate record of what is unsold. We send you straight there rather than repeating a number here that may already be stale.

  1. 01

    Check what is actually open

    Cabin categories on a charter sell out in a different order than on a regular cruise, and Bliss's system is the only live record. Look there first, or tell us the week and we will look for you.

  2. 02

    Ask us before you book

    Naming us first makes us your agent of record. It costs you nothing extra, the fare is Bliss's published fare either way, and it means one person handles your paperwork rather than a call centre.

  3. 03

    We carry the deadlines

    Deposit dates, final payment, passport names and the manifest close about 96 business hours out. Miss one and it costs money or a boarding pass, so we track them and tell you before they arrive.

Travel by Trinidad LLC is the seller of travel on every full-ship charter cabin, and booking is handled on Bliss's own reservation system. Our full-ship charter terms set out eligibility, the manifest deadline, and who cancels a reservation. They differ from our standard terms, so read them before you book.

Things people find out too late.

None of this is unusual for a charter. All of it costs money or a boarding pass if you learn it at the pier.

Your legal name has to match your passport

The manifest closes about 96 business hours before sailing. A name that does not match the document you travel on is a denied boarding at the pier, with no refund, and we cannot fix it after the manifest closes.

One name on a booking can be changed, not both

Changing a single guest is allowed, with a fee inside six months of sailing or once the manifest is in. Changing both names is treated as a cancellation, not a change.

The fare buys the cabin

Shore excursions, drink packages, dining packages, gratuities, taxes and port charges sit outside the cabin fare. Promotions the cruise line runs on regular sailings do not carry over to a full-ship charter.

Cancelling is the operator's policy, not ours

Cancellations go to the operator in writing before the manifest closes. Transferring to a future sailing is sometimes allowed and carries a transfer fee. We will walk you through it, but we do not set the terms.

Take the travel protection

A full-ship charter is a firm commitment with real penalties, and a missed flight or a sick week is not a refundable event. Travel protection is offered at booking and it is the cheapest part of the trip.

Not sure it is your thing?

Say so. We will tell you honestly whether a full-ship charter or one of our adults-only Virgin group sailings is the better first trip, and we are happy to point you at the group sailing.

Bliss cruise questions.

Can a single person go on a Bliss cruise?

Not on their own. Bliss sells charter cabins to a couple made up of one man and one woman. A single guest can be added as a third in a cabin with one couple, on a very restricted basis, and two guests of the same gender cannot share a cabin. Bliss can decline any booking that does not meet this.

What is the difference between a Bliss charter and a lifestyle group sailing?

On a Bliss charter, Bliss charters the entire ship, sets the programming and the rules, and every guest aboard sails under them. A lifestyle group sailing is a regular Virgin Voyages cruise with a lifestyle group aboard, so the cruise line's own rules apply and other passengers sail too. Nautir Getaways lists both.

Is the whole ship clothing optional on a Bliss cruise?

No. The pool deck and above, and designated private hospitality areas, are clothing optional. Nudity is not permitted in interior decks, hallways, elevators, restaurants, bars or clubs, beyond the specific venues Bliss designates as topless. Sexually explicit events are part of the programming, and no sexual activity is permitted in public areas.

How old do you have to be to sail with Bliss?

Every guest must be 21 or older on the day the ship sails, with the passport or identification the manifest requires. No one under 21 is aboard.

When are the next Bliss sailings?

The upcoming full-ship charters are: Fiesta Cruise, Feb 24 to 28, 2027, Celebrity Summit, round trip from Tampa, calling at Cozumel; Celestial Cruise, Apr 18 to 24, 2027, Celebrity Silhouette, round trip from Fort Lauderdale, calling at Cabo Rojo and Grand Turk; Saints and Sinners, Nov 8 to 15, 2027, Wonder of the Seas, round trip from Miami, calling at St. Maarten and St. Kitts; Mardi Gras Extravaganza, Feb 19 to 25, 2028, Mariner of the Seas, round trip from New Orleans, calling at Cozumel and Costa Maya; Grand Turk and Labadee, Apr 8 to 13, 2028, Celebrity Summit, round trip from Fort Lauderdale, calling at Grand Turk and Labadee.

How does booking a Bliss cruise through Nautir Getaways work?

Travel by Trinidad LLC holds a reseller of travel agreement for full-ship lifestyle charters and is the seller of travel on every charter cabin it books. The booking is completed on Bliss's own reservation system, and the fare, the terms and the cabin inventory are Bliss's. Send the form on this page and an advisor takes it from there.

Does my name have to match my passport?

Yes. The manifest closes about 96 business hours before sailing. A name that does not match the document you travel on is a denied boarding at the pier, with no refund, and it cannot be fixed after the manifest closes.
