You’ve taken vacations before.
You’ve seen the beaches.
You’ve eaten at the restaurants.
You’ve taken the photos.
But have you ever come home from vacation with a new group of friends you can’t wait to see again?
That’s what makes a Spicy Vacations experience different.
Join Matt & Bianca aboard Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady for seven unforgettable nights of sunshine, adventure, laughter, connection, and the opportunity to connect with a welcoming community of open-minded travelers who are just as curious, adventurous, and fun-loving as you.
This isn’t just another cruise.
It’s a chance to find your people.
What Makes This Different From A Normal Cruise?
Anyone can book a cabin on Virgin Voyages.
But only Spicy Vacations guests get the community experience.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll have opportunities to connect through:
❤️ Pre-cruise meet & greet in Los Angeles
🍹 Daily social events onboard
🍽 Group dinners with new friends
🚶 Cabin crawls
🎉 Bar crawls
🥂 Hosted gatherings with Matt & Bianca

Want to disappear with your partner for a romantic afternoon? Also awesome.
This is your vacation.
We simply make it easier to meet amazing people.
The Spicy Vacations Difference
Smaller Group. Bigger Connections.
Some lifestyle events feel overwhelming.
Thousands of people.
Anonymous faces.
Hard to know where you belong.
We intentionally keep our groups smaller so people actually have the chance to connect.
By the end of the week, you won’t just know usernames.
You’ll know stories.
You’ll know personalities.
You’ll know who you want to vacation with again.
Perfect For Couples Who Are…
✅ Curious about the lifestyle and want a welcoming first experience
✅ Experienced lifestyle couples looking for a fun community
✅ Tired of traditional vacations
✅ Looking for adventure beyond the usual resort experience
✅ Interested in meeting like-minded adults without pressure
A note about our community:
Spicy Vacations is built around creating a welcoming environment for open-minded couples. We also welcome a limited number of single guests who align with our values and help contribute to the respectful, fun atmosphere our community is known for.
What Happens If We’re New?
Honestly?
That’s exactly how many of our guests started.
A lot of couples arrive thinking:
“Will we fit in?”
“Will everyone be intimidating?”
“Are we going to feel awkward?”
Then something funny happens.
By day two, they’re usually asking:
“Why didn’t we do this sooner?”
Spicy Vacations is built around connection, respect, and consent.
Nobody is expected to be anything except themselves.
Cabo San Lucas
Dramatic desert cliffs meet brilliant blue water in Cabo San Lucas. Cruise past the famous El Arco, set out on a snorkeling adventure, or settle into a beachside afternoon with a refreshing cocktail and your new cruise friends. Whether you want an active day on the water or time to soak up the sunshine, Cabo brings unforgettable scenery and the vacation energy you came for.
Mazatlán & Puerto Vallarta
Mazatlán blends golden beaches with colorful streets, historic plazas, and the charm of its Old Town. Explore local markets, sample Mexican flavors, or enjoy an easy day along the coast with friends.
Puerto Vallarta pairs coastal beauty with vibrant culture. Wander the Malecón, discover art-filled streets, or head out for a beach or ocean adventure. From waterfront cocktails to jungle-lined coves, this stop gives you plenty of ways to make the day your own.
Three beautiful Mexican ports. Seven nights aboard Brilliant Lady. A community of friends to share it all with.

We’ve Been Where You Are
For many couples, taking that first step can feel intimidating.
We know because we were there.
After decades together, years in the lifestyle, and hosting thousands of guests, we’ve learned one thing:
People don’t remember the itinerary.
They remember the people.
Our goal is simple:
Make everyone feel welcome.
Help couples connect.
Create experiences people talk about for years.

The lifestyle is part of who we are.
It is not the only thing we are.
