THE V LIST… A WHOLE NEW WAY TO GET THE ROOMS YOU WANT!
The A List is sooooo 2003. It’s time to kick it up a notch and put your name on The V List!
But what’s The V List? We’re so glad you asked.
The V List is a new VACAYA program that offers you the ultimate VIP access to accommodations. It’s your priority pass to all the best suites and unique rooms on every one of our events for an entire season. In the world of all-gay/all-LGBT+ travel, suites are the first rooms booked and there’s always more demand than supply. And let’s face it… with your V Team’s long experience in the LGBT+ travel industry, we’ve seen the allocation of suites handled exceedingly poorly by others and with cramp-inducing restrictions. And while there are many different ways to allocate those suites to the guests who want them, there hasn’t been an equitable way to give everyone a fair shot… until now.
With our 2026 season, we’re launching the trips in a slightly different way than we have in the past. Everyone on our eNewsletter List will receive a preview of each new trip. This preview page will launch one week before sales open for that trip, allowing everyone to explore the trip, rally their friends (or find a roommate if you’re a solo traveler), and request vacation time. Then, on the designated date and time, booking will open for our global audience – everyone getting an equal opportunity to book the trip. Everyone that is except those on The V List.
V List members will have early access to the available inventory, and that access comes at two different levels:
- V List Diamond Members will have access to ALL inventory – including Suites – 72 Hours Before General Public Sales Begin
- V List Platinum Members will have access to ALL inventory – including remaining Suites – 48 Hours Before General Public Sales Begin
The V List is being introduced for our 2026 season and will include early access to available suites/rooms on the following soon-to-be-announced events:*
- Med Cruise
- Caribbean Cruise
- India Tour
- Northern Europe Cruise
- Indian Ocean Cruise
- Chile Tour
- Resort Program
The cost for early access to our entire 2026 season of trips is as follows:
- V List Diamond (with 72-hour early access) – 399 USD
- V List Platinum (with 48-hour early access) – 199 USD
Once you’re on The V List, you will receive each trip’s preview link along with everyone on our eNewsletter List one week before general sales for that trip are scheduled to begin. Then, at your designated window, you’ll receive an email from us with your exclusive booking link. This booking link will give you access to all the available rooms on the ship or at the resort/on the tour, and you’ll be able to lock in the room you want during your exclusive booking window.
Simply put, you don’t have to be royalty to receive the royal treatment with VACAYA. Just purchase The V List and you’ll be well on your way!
*Vacation events are subject to change at any time.
- A VACAYA “season” is defined as all vacation events scheduled between January 1 and December 31 of any given year.
- You will be able to join the program via our online reservations system.
- Membership is capacity controlled.
- All V List program members receive simultaneous access to the inventory based on your purchased Diamond or Platinum level. Rooms are sold on a first come, first served basis within those levels.
- Not all vacations offer an extensive line-up of suites (for example, our river cruises). But as a V List participant, you’ll have first access to the entire inventory of rooms for that season’s vacations.
- For couples/friends traveling in the same room together, only ONE V List membership is required for the two of you to book.
- A single membership entitles the member to book only one room per trip during each V List booking window. For multi-room or connecting room bookings, one V List membership is required for each individual room being booked.
- While we encourage all interested guests to join The V List prior to launch of each new season’s first trip, if you join after a cruise, resort, or tour vacation has already gone on sale, you’ll be given priority position on the Suites Waitlist for any programs that have launched prior to you joining The V List. This is handled person-to-person with our V Team Vacation Planners, available to you via email at info@myvacaya.com or by calling +1.718.504.0404.
