Friends from across the ostomy community nationwide are getting ready to set sail this June! UOAA is excited to host its first-ever 4-night Cruise for Ostomates aboard the SeaPlex on Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas.

Departing from Los Angeles on Monday, June 15, 2026, this unforgettable journey will include stops at Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico, before returning to port on Friday, June 19. We’re thrilled to share that 18 members of the ostomy community will be joining us for this special experience at sea.

While registration for this year’s cruise is now closed, we’re hopeful this inaugural trip will pave the way for future sailings in 2027 and beyond.

If you’re interested in joining a future ostomy community cruise, please reach out to Cristine Miller, UOAA’s Young Ostomate Outreach Director, at cristine.miller@ostomy.org.
