What Gay Cruise Variations Exist?
By CruiseDirector | March 4, 2010
If you are looking for an alternative to your usual gay oriented vacation this year, you may well find a gay cruise is just what you have been looking for. Once the preserve of the retired; cruises have been dragged kicking and screaming into modernity. There are many types to choose from, though the preferred options tend to center around two.
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.
Whilst electrically charged, many cruises can still be quite intimate with smaller vessels catering for just a few hundred people. However, with liners able to carry 3000 or more guests, they can be akin to floating super clubs; with DJs to match!
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.
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.
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!
