THE INAUGURAL

CARIBBEAN BIGFOOT CRUISE

DEPARTS ON NOVEMBER 9, 2025

THE SQUATCHOLOGIST’S DREAM VACAY.. GOES TROPICAL!

Join us as we discuss the “Big” guy on one of the 5 biggest cruise ships in the world – Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas. After two years in Alaska, and with so many of you asking about a warm-weather cruise, we will be heading south for something new, but equally as extraordinary for the Bigfoot community. On November 9, 2025, the inaugural Carribean Bigfoot Cruise will depart from Miami, FL with stops in St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and the Bahamas, before returning to the US on November 16th.

Over our 7 days together we will have 3 morning lectures onboard from the Bigfoot researchers that will be traveling with us. These will be scheduled to end by 11:00 am to allow everyone to enjoy the splendor of the cruise itself. On our days in ports, we will be setting up special excursions with our speakers to give you extra opportunities to get to really know them and ideas on the search for Sasquatch.

Secure your spot ASAP as we open once again. We will only have 200 cabins reserved for the cruise.

ALL-IN PRICING

PRICING EXPLAINED + PRICING TABLE

If you have ever cruised before, you know that cruise pricing is often confusing and sometimes misleading. We have attempted to take all the confusion out  of the process with our “All-In Pricing”. We have decided to allow unlimmited single-rider rooms this year despite the fees that we are charged by the cruise line. As such, solo cabins will cost the same as double occupancy cabins, but you will be able to add an additional traveller at any point after booking for a small administrative fee.

The prices you see below are the exact prices you will pay at checkout (shipping). They include all of the following:

Cabin Cruise Fare
Bigfoot Activity Passes
Port Fees & Taxes
Prepaid Gratuities
Food at 6 Complimentary Restaurants
Tons of Activities and Shows

The prices you see in the column and row that matches your selection of cabin type and number of guests is the total amount that you will pay, not a per/person amount.

Accessible cabins are available in both balcony categories and in interior cabins. Due to category differences, our accessible ocean view balconies are more expensive than the price shown here.

Reserve Your Cabin

It all starts here. Pick your cabin and get your passes! The Tier II pricing ends on March 31st!

Cruise Merchandise

All Merchandise will be shipped to you before embarkation along with your activity pass!

After completing grade school in Corvallis and high school in Arlee, Montana, Russell embarked on travels across the United States, seeking his own path. Yet, he repeatedly returned to the comforting scenery of Montana, which always felt like home. His fascination with Bigfoot’s culture and secretive nature led him to explore various tales and legends about the creature, forming the basis for his literary work.
