I love having the opportunity to partner with brands who genuinely care for and joyfully celebrate the LGBTQ+ community."

The party took place in tandem across the award-winning Celebrity fleet, with each ship "handing off the party baton" to the next to keep the festivities running across hemispheres and time zones. In the end, the party traveled more than 10,000 miles to ten ships around the world.

Thousands of guests have attended the event – which the brand planned as a show of solidarity with and an effort to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community – since its inception in 2017.
