The Thirteenth Annual Hetero HIV Cruise Retreat
October 23 – 31, 2010
Rates from only $439.00 (plus tax)
An eight night cruise for the price of a seven night cruise!!!

For our thirteenth cruise we are embarking on our most exotic itinerary yet. We will be sailing from Ft Lauderdale on an eight night cruise which will take us to Colon (Panama), Limon (Costa Rica), and Cozumel, Mexico. These are three varied and exciting ports of call. Since our 2009 sailing on the Carnival Freedom was so successful we have chosen the Freedom for 2010.

Rather than the usual cruise itineraries our stops are exotic and less visited. In Panama we will have the chance to see Lake Gatun with the famed locks of the Panama Canal or visit with a true indigenous native village. Limon in Costa Rica affords us the chance to trek through dense rain forests with amazing jungle wild life or take a canopy tour above the tree tops. Cozumel is known for spectacular snorkeling, scuba diving and beautiful white sandy beaches. Plus have the chance to visit wondrous Mayan ruins.

Carnival Cruise Line, known as the Fun Ships, offer excellent cuisine, outstanding service, comfortable cabins and suites and a great array of entertainment including Las Vegas Style review shows. Let’s not forget the wonderful water slide, the only cruise line to offer this feature. Pamper yourself in the spa! Try your luck in the casino at sea! Participate in dozens of ship board activities! Or just lie back in a comfortable lounge chair and soak up the sun!

Needless to say, we plan many fun and educational events for our guests. We will of course have private cocktail parties, a themed private parties, and more fun group activities. We also offer informative talks by HIV specialists and memorable spiritual events such as our Celebration of Life/Memorial that is emotional and uplifting.
We also offer our own private shore excursions just for our group which tend to be less expensive and offer more than similar excursions offered by the cruise line. And waaaay more fun!
