The Next Gen NYC cast joins Gia Giudice in the Bahamas
Gia confirmed that the group had just landed in the Caribbean, where she was also visiting her dad, Joe Giudice.
“So, today, I flew into the Bahamas, and guess who else is here? Basically, the entire cast of Next Gen [NYC].” she said in the January 13 GRWM video. “I am so excited, and to welcome them into the Bahamas… It literally happened last minute. They had called me and said that they wanted to book a trip, and it just so happened to be the week that I was looking to come here. It all worked out. We booked our flights. We made it here. And now we are all in the Bahamas together.”

“We prepared a whole spread of Italian meats and cheeses,” she said. “My nonna prepared lasagnas, meatballs, and I’m so excited for them all to try nonna’s food because it’s the best and not like anything else.
“Riley just got here and surprised everyone…” Gia continued. “It’s gonna be a big family dinner. I literally have 10 of us sitting around this small table. But that’s just how we do it at my dad’s. Everyone is close and eating and just enjoying each other’s company. That’s how it all works here. Just one big happy family. Dad meets Next Gen. I’m actually excited for this.”
Inside the Next Gen NYC cast’s boat day and girls’ night
The cast went on to share photos and videos of their night out in the Bahamas as well as their fun-filled day aboard the Dream On — one of the boats from Joe’s World Wide Charter Tours business.
Gia also shared several peeks at her “girls’ night” with Ariana and Ava. She posted a handful of shots of their intimate dinner, which began with a few drinks.
Fans got an in-depth look at the friendships in Next Gen NYC Season 1 (2025), which also featured cast members Georgia McCann, Brooks Marks, and Ariana’s ex-boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy. Although the group experienced many ups and downs throughout the inaugural season, they found themselves in a much better place once the finale rolled around.
“This friend group, we’ve definitely had our small little tiffs,” Ava said in the July 22 episode. “At the end of the day, like, we can still get together, support each other, and I love that.”
Georgia expressed a similar sentiment in a confessional.
“New York can be really lonely, so that’s why it’s so important to have a community,” she said. “Having people to fall back [on] that you trust and, like, you have love for makes a world of difference.”
Next Gen NYC will return to Bravo for Season 2. Click here to get a little taste of what the group has in store.
