2027 Women's Adventure and Wellness Cruise
Oct 11 - 21, 2027
What if your next vacation actually helped you feel like YOU again?
Not because you need fixing — because somewhere between the school pickups and the inbox and taking care of everyone else, you stopped taking a trip that was just for you. This is that trip. A girls' trip at sea — island-hopping through Bermuda and the Caribbean aboard the elegant Crystal Serenity, with a group of women who already get it, while someone else handles the butler service, the packing lists, and the planning.
Picture the NYC skyline the night before you sail, rosé at an overnight in Bermuda, laughing over mahjong on a sea day, boutiques in Gustavia, and a pickleball tournament you're weirdly invested in winning. Nine nights, five countries, six ports, zero logistics to think about. Sometimes investing in yourself looks exactly like this.
Trip Highlights:
- 9 nights aboard Crystal Serenity, sailing New York City → Bermuda (overnight call) → Antigua → Guadeloupe → St. Barts → San Juan | October 12–21, 2027
- Optional two night add on in New York City
- Daily mahjong meet-ups for socializing and friendly competition
- A bespoke rosé + exclusive local-discoveries experience during our Bermuda overnight
- Exclusive opportunity to sign up for a session with a professional color specialist to help you discover the shades that make you look and feel your best (AND help you create a capsule wardrobe for traveling!)
- Pickleball lessons and an onboard tournament with coach Kat Valos
- A phone photography class — so your photos actually look as good as the trip felt.
- A private welcome reception the night before we sail, in New York City
- Dedicated butler service in every stateroom and suite — for nine nights, someone else handles it
- Wellness at Sea® program — led by Wellness Ambassador Dalila Roglieri (former pro tennis player turned nutritionist), plus Jenni Demus, Eva Estlander (yoga/sound healer), and culinary nutritionist Abbie Gellman. This sailing has a special pickleball focus, with coach Kat Valos running daily lessons and an on-board tournament.

Who's Who
Who is Prima Collective?
Prima Collective was build for women moving through every season of life together, led by five women travel advisors who love to travel as much as they love planning it. We built this space so other like-minded women could join our VIP group and travel with us.
Our dream is simple: at least one getaway a year where women can show up as they are, get a little pampering, and hand off the where, when, and how to someone else. No logistics to carry, no planning to stress over — just good company and beautiful places.
Come for the trip. Leave with new friends, a few good laughs, and great memories you'll be replaying long after you're home.
