Taking auction for animals! PETA is celebrating 45 years by going overboard for its End of Year Auction, which features a Western Caribbean voyage aboard an all-vegan cruise, a rejuvenating stay at a luxury resort on the shore of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, and much more—with the proceeds supporting PETA’s vital work for animals. A full list of the goodies up for grabs in PETA’s online silent auction can be found here, and visitors can place their bids until 5 p.m. ET on November 25. Winners will be contacted the week of December 1.
The jet-set can set their sights on luxury stays at lush destinations, including a four-night stay for two in the stunning Kucumatz Villa at the eco-chic Laguna Lodge—nestled in a picturesque lakeside nature reserve in Guatemala—and a cozy retreat at Beck Hall, England’s first fully-vegan hotel, surrounded by the rolling hills and limestone landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. Those looking to make waves can bid on a week-long voyage on the MSC Seascape vegan cruise, which boasts gourmet plant-powered meals and unforgettable excursions in Costa Maya, Mexico, Isla de Roatán, Honduras, and more. Stateside stays include two nights at the Hotel Bel-Air in California and a three-night wellness retreat at Sewall House in Maine, among others.
Meanwhile, foodies won’t want to miss their chance to go behind-the-scenes at Eat Just—the plant-powered pioneer behind delicious vegan JUST Egg—with an exclusive one-on-one tour led by CEO Josh Tetrick and a private tasting at the company’s Alameda, California headquarters. And anyone who has ever wondered what it’s like to run the world’s largest animal liberation organization can ask the women themselves, with meet-and-greets featuring PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk and PETA President Tracy Reiman on the block. Art collectors can score Miru Kim’s powerful work, The Pig That Therefore I Am, while those hoping to connect on another level with their companion animals can win a session with animal communicator Ellie Laks or score a custom portrait of their four-legged friend painted by artist Leslie Crane.
“From luxurious getaways at some of the most enchanting locales in the world to a private tasting with culinary innovators, PETA’s 2025 auction offers a wealth of unforgettable animal-friendly experiences,” says PETA President Tracy Reiman. “Every bid is a chance to score a one-of-a-kind prize and help PETA bring the hammer down on cruelty.”
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
