How To Take a Gay Cruise for the First Time
dopesontheroad.comThe world of cruising, let alone gay cruising, was completely new to me in February 2023 when I embarked on the Celebrity Reflection with VACAYA.
I always thought of cruising as something of a novelty, where you can drink your days away poolside with a splash of entertainment and sightseeing.
Little did I know a cruise could transcend time and space and create a queer-friendly little paradise out on the open seas. My husband and I booked our cruise with VACAYA, an adults-only gay & LGBT+ travel company with a good reputation for putting on a party but also being a little more “relaxed.” We knew some local gay men who book a cruise with them every year, and assured us it was not as crazy as the “Atlantis” gay cruises, which of course, I had never done to compare it to.
What I found aboard was fast friendships, gorgeous destinations, and a whole lot of much needed queer community time. Things to Know about Taking Your First Gay Cruise It’s natural to have lots of questions before going on your first gay cruise, even if you have done “straight” cruises before.
