GACUCON 2026 is a unique “Game & Cosplay Cruise”—a floating convention merging gaming, cosplay, tabletop RPGs, and fandom culture aboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. Imagine a summer matsuri at sea: a lively, colorful festival atmosphere with gaming, cosplay, parties, and Caribbean views.

Highlights include a Gaming Hall with consoles, boardgames, RPGs, manga, and tournaments; cosplay showcases with pro photography; themed mixers, open-bar events; panels and workshops; karaoke, laser tag, and ship-wide social events; plus raffles, giveaways, and charity auctions.
