Here's What To Expect
For over two decades, you and your friends have seen countless love stories unfold before your eyes. We are excited to invite you to the ultimate group date! Celebrate your favorite episodes, people, and moments on the FIRST-EVER Bachelor Nation Vacation at Sea!
Instead of planning the snacks and drinks for watch parties, now’s your time to coordinate flights and matching outfits for Bachelor Nation Vacation at Sea! That's right, the world-famous Bachelor Nation is taking over Norwegian Joy from November 16-20, 2026, as we travel from Miami to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, for four days and nights with the "most-dramatic" reality-dating-show alums you've come to know and love.
This ship full of fan-favorites will host panels, screenings, games + activities, tastings, music, + more! And it all kicks off with a special sailaway party on the main deck hosted by Jesse Palmer! The only catch is that you've got to be there to watch how it unfolds, no tuning in next week!
Additionally, Bachelor Nation Vacation cruisers will have access to all the PTO-perfect NCL amenities like relaxing spa treatments inspired by some of your favorite spa dates, pools + hot tubs (is it even Bachelor without a hot tub?), curated specialty dining options, exclusive shore excursions, casino shenanigans, and a gym all within walking distance.
Every cruiser is guaranteed access to at least ONE Love Story Rewatch and ONE Tell All Panel!
See below for more details on each session.
Still to come: the surprise final Tell All Panel + cruisers will submit their preferred session before sailing.
Love Story Rewatches
Step inside Bachelor Nation’s most iconic journeys of love. In each of these exclusive live retrospectives, a fan-favorite couple will take the stage to relive their unforgettable moments—from first impressions to final rose, and everything in between.

This intimate conversation is your chance to see the heart of their relationship unfold all over again—this time, right before your eyes. Expect laughter, a few happy tears, and plenty of “Did we really say that?” as they react to their full journey.

w/ Bachelor Nation Alum
Can we steal you for a sec? No Bachelor episode is complete without a Cocktail Party, and neither is this cruise! Every night we’ll "cheers" to another day in Paradise. Cocktail Parties will take over multiple bars at a time, so you can start at Sugarcane for Mojitos, stop by Maltings for an Old Fashioned, and make your way to Mixx Bar for a Cosmo and cruise-day-debrief with your besties. Oh, and we're inviting Bachelor Alums to these Cocktail Parties, too!
Pool Parties
Grab your swimsuit and sunnies—things are heating up on deck! Join us poolside for the ultimate Bachelor Nation bash, where the vibes are high, the tunes are nonstop, and your favorite Bachelor Nation stars are making a splash. Expect DJ sets, interactive games, and plenty of chances to mix and mingle. Whether you’re dancing by the pool, competing in a fun challenge, or just soaking up the sun, this is one party you won’t want to miss.
Karaoke
The spotlight isn't just for the Bachelor Alumni! If you're ready for your own moment of fame, get on stage and perform your personal go-to Karaoke hit for the world (ship) to hear. Pick a really good one to see who will join in on the vocals with you!
Stand-Up Comedy
Let loose and laugh it up! We'll have a few special guest stand-up comedians to get us giggling and remind us that there's humor in everything!
Headphone Disco
Grab a pair of headphones, turn to the station that speaks to you, and dance your heart out! Initiate a dance battle with the person across the dance floor, or scream the lyrics since nobody can hear you anyway! That's the beauty of SILENT Disco!
Daily Themes + Mixers
Bachelor Nation LOVES a chance to wear a fun fit. Show the ship what you’ve got by dressing up for First Impressions, Cocktail Parties, and Daily Themes. It’s also the perfect excuse to plan coordinating outfits with your travel buddies!
