ABOUT CRUISEYT
CruiseyT Celebrates 25 years as Vancouver’s Original Pride Cruises. CruiseyT is known across the continent for hosting the ultimate gay club alternative party venue and the best way to party on the water. Their iconic Pride Cruises are a must-attend event for both travellers and Vancouverites. It's a great way to explore the scenic harbours the Pacific coast has to offer, and make new friends from around the world.
Last year we hosted over 1500 guests in Vancouver's majestic harbour during Vancouver Pride weekend alone. You’ll want to get your tickets early as these parties are known too sell out each year! CruiseyT's operation raises funds for local charities and organizations within the LGBTQ community. Since the inception of CruiseyT in 1991 founded by Randy Newburg, a total of $650,000 has been donated to worthy causes and direct service agencies. We thank you for all your generous support over the years to make this possible.
Our events are the absolute best way to have fun in the sun and explore the gorgeous scenic views of BC's Coast. We'll have you back on shore in time for many of Vancouver's signature pride events! Come join us on Western Canada's largest floating T-Dance!

Pride Party Cruise
This event takes place on our signature boat, the MV Britannia - Vancouver's largest charter vessel. With sounds of house and nu-disco, and performances by some of Vancouver’s legendary queens, this event sells out every year and boasts an incredibly fun crowd. No matter how you want to party this pride, this is the event to be at.

Sunday July 31st
Pride Recovery Cruise
This event takes place on the MV Britannia, and has been nicknamed the industry cruise - this boat tends to be much more chill and laid back afternoon compared to Sunday, and is known for hosting many locals, industry staff, The Vancouver Pride Board, extended visitors and special out of town guests. Arguably the best cruise of the entire season.
