What Gay Cruise Options Are There?

There are two main types of gay cruise available, which both offer an excellent alternative to land based vacations or adventure tours, though many of these can be incorporated to your cruise with leading tour operators.

The first type of cruise available, often referred to as a "Gay Environment" cruise, may seem like the best option for many. These cruises are often booked by tour operators, whereby an entire cruise liner is booked to create a completely gay environment.

These cruises tend to have customized entertainment, often from some of the leading entertainers on the gay scene. With a host of activities to enjoy alongside numerous other events and parties, theses cruises tend to cater for those party animals amongst you.

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. 

Alternatively, you may prefer the more intimate and private cruise offered by booking space aboard a mainstream cruise. These "Gay Group" cruises are not as elaborate of course, but still offer a chance for you to relax and mingle with other likeminded groups.

Downsides to these cruises generally center around the entertainment offered which, understandably enough, is more geared to the straight crowd. However, many of these cruises do manage to arrange special events by invite only; whilst time on land can also be structured more appropriately.

Many people actually enjoy these cruises, as it allows them time to also spend time with a straight crowd and have a little down time, which the constant partying onboard most Gay Environment cruises rarely offer.

Whatever choice of gay cruise you go for; the destinations visited are practically limitless; be it a jaunt around the med, or to soak up the delights of the Caribbean. The world truly is your oyster.
