Welcome to Vette Cruise 2026!
On February 22, 2026, we will be sailing aboard the Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas out of Galveston, TX
Roatan, Honduras – Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico – Cozumel, Mexico.
We have built what has become a fun annual event, bringing Corvette owners from around the world together, on a modern marvel of ship building engineering, visiting gloriously warm Caribbean ports of call as a winter escape while most everyone’s Corvettes are stored for the winter!
We are planning multiple exclusive events for registered guests of Vette Cruise. From fun the tongue-in-cheek “Mr. and Mrs. Corvette Owner” pageant, to special presentations from industry insiders, to private parties with members of Corvette Clubs from around the nation, not to mention all the on-board activities going on!
BOOKING IS NOW OPEN!

US Citizens are required to travel with either: an original US passport valid at least six (6) months after the cruise OR a valid state ID AND an original birth certificate. There is no exception to this policy. Non-US Citizens should contact Royal Caribbean Cruise Line for specific requirements. Guests should visit https://www.state.gov for latest passport information.
It is highly recommended that you plan to arrive at least the evening prior to sailing. We will offer pre/post hotel accommodations as well as transfers, or you can arrange this on your own. Flying the morning of a cruise is a good way of missing the cruise!
We recommend trip insurance, specifically in the first two weeks after booking so that pre-existing conditions are covered.
Scenarios to consider…
- You are injured while on the trip. Trip Insurance provides medical coverage, including air transport (ie helicopter). Overseas your insurance will not cover you, and any form of air ambulance will run into the tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Post final payment (where you start to lose money if you cancel) You have a medical event that prevents you from traveling. If you obtained Trip Insurance within the first two weeks of booking, it will most likely be covered if it is deemed you had a pre-existing condition (say clogged arteries that led to a heart attack). If you booked outside this window it is less likely to be covered.
- You suffer an accident and lose a limb and you are post final payment, in 100% penalty period… (this happened for Vette Cruise 2024) Travel Insurance would cover you. In this example, our guests would have lost almost $5,000 in addition to the trauma of the accident.
- You decline insurance all together. We cannot help. We cannot call the cruise line and plead with them. It is crystal clear in their policies, our policies, you will be out.
Trip Insurance is relatively cheap, especially in group trips like ours. You do not have to get trip insurance through us. You do not have to get it period. But please understand, after 18 years of doing this, and countless sad stories and people screaming at us on a call to help them, we cannot recommend enough, take the insurance.
Currently, Celebrity is not requiring masking or vaccinations for cruise travel from the US to the Caribbean. However, this can change at any time due to an outbreak or other Federal requirements. It is advised you check the Celebrity notices and the CDC website for current information before you travel.
Guests are not allowed to bring beer or hard liquor onboard. On boarding day, guests may bring onboard two (2) 750 ml bottles of wine or champagne per stateroom in their carry-on luggage. If guests wish to enjoy the wine or champagne they brought onboard in dining or bar venues, a corkage fee will apply.
Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas on the ship. Smoking indoors or on stateroom balconies is strictly prohibited.
Yes. When we contact you to book, please let us know any specific needs you have. We have partners who can provide ship delivered mobility scooters or other medically critical devices.
Dinners aboard modern cruise ships required little more than a nice shirt/pants or blouse/skirt/pants. Shorts are typically not welcome in the dining room except on the first night of a voyage when you may not have your luggage yet. There is typically 2 “formal” nights where you can go all out and wear a suit, tux or gown if you like, but this is not required.
Yes, once you are booked and access is open on the mobile app for your trip, you may purchase Drinks, Wifi, Excursions, Spa Treatments, and more right inside the app. Prices will vary, and we always suggest watching for specials! Drinks and Wifi are often discounted throughout the year leading up to the cruise!
Tips are automatically added to any beverage you purchase. Tips are automatically added to your room bill each day for your Cabin and Dining attendants. You can “Pre Pay” gratuities, but that only covers your Room and Dining staff. We recommend Pre Pay as it will save a few bucks.
If you buy a beverage package, tips are included so you should not need to pay tips again to bar staff. Pre paid gratuities can be added on your reservation by contact us at 407-922-9541
Of course not! Anyone is welcome! You might meet some awesome people who may nudge you to making better car life choices, but ownership is not required!
There is a “thing” on cruise ships with people hiding little rubber ducks as treasures. I don’t know about you, but a rubber ducky doesn’t do much for me, so we repurposed the idea and our guests stash Hot Wheel Corvettes around the ship for kids or adults to enjoy!
Hide responsibly! Don’t leave them on the floor for someone to step on. Keep in mind ship staff may take them as well as guests, they get just as excited to find things as anyone else!
Yes, absolutely! We work with one of the largest excursion providers in the world. They offer a “Return to Ship” guarantee which is a requirement we have to be able to work with our clients.
