Vacations Blog

Whatever your gay vacation style, sailing off on a gay cruise could be just the thing to experience something a little bit different. Many operators arrange these cruises now, with most focus being on two main types.

The first of these is the gay environment cruise,, where a liner is chartered for the sole use of a gay crowd.

These can be excellent if you just want to get away from the mainstream and just be yourself. And with tailored entertainment, cabarets and activities, you certainly won’t have too much time for soaking up the sun.

Some of these cruises can be huge affairs in themselves, often attracting huge DJs to  take the parties by storm. With groups of up to 3000 being entertained on board this  is an excellent way to enjoy you first gay cruise.

If, however you want to have a little more of an actual vacation, though allowing you to meet and relax with other gays and lesbians, a gay group cruise will be more to your liking. Taking place as part of a mainstream cruise, these are quieter but no less enjoyable.

As would be expected, the entertainment offered is targeted to a straighter, more mainstream clientele. Increasingly though, some nights in certain bars and restaurants are specifically tailored to the gay scene, and there is always the time onshore to arrange events.

Being a part of a mainstream cruise, many people prefer this approach, as things may get, well, a little too gay on a gay environment cruise. At least here, you can have the joys of both.

There are other types of gay cruise available, and new and more outrageous ideas coming online all the time. Your choice is not easy, and that is before you decide which islands or coasts to cruise around!
