Worldwide | Atlantis Events Charter Cruises

Gay cruising takes on a whole new meaning with Atlantis Events, a wildly ​successful company that charters entire ships multiple times a year to exciting, exotic global destinations for the vacation of a lifetime. Though they don’t discriminate against anyone as long as they’re LGBT-friendly, these charters typically attract gay male travelers almost exclusively. Of thousands of passengers, it’s not rare to find only a handful of women guests onboard.

As adults, Atlantis vacations are probably the closest thing to capturing the magic of summer camp. Subcultures within the community mix and mingle with effortless camaraderie. Bears dance with otters. Muscle queens dine with twinks. And drag queens relax in jacuzzis alongside leather daddies. Everyone comes for a good time and everyone has a good time. The happiness spreads to even the crew, members of which have the opportunity to skip out on these voyages for religious or moral reasons. So, if you’re a gay man and you’ve never been on an Atlantis cruise, you simply must add one to your wish list, start saving money for your bar tab, and get ready for the most “bon” voyage of all.

5 Reasons to Book an Atlantis Events Cruise

All the New Friends
​​​People travel from all over the world to be a part of these cruises, whether they leave from the United States or an overseas port. Surprising to many, meeting new friends happens faster and easier than practically anywhere on earth. I’ve kept in touch with people from cruises taken 15 years ago and know that with each new trip, I’ll add several more to the lineup.

Exotic Destinations
Caribbean itineraries tend to be among the biggest bargains, but for the opportunity to explore ancient lands in Europe or watch whales swim alongside your ship in Alaska, nearly every popular destination will eventually find its way onto an Atlantis schedule.

​​​Massive Theme Parties
​Passengers can often be seen on departure day lugging way more suitcases than a human should be allowed. But it’s not because they’re indecisive about their wardrobe any given day. Instead, most people arrive with at least one piece of luggage filled solely with costumes for epic theme parties, which include the world-famous White Party and final-day Disco Tea Dance. If you’ve never been on rough seas in high heels, you haven’t really lived, sir.

Onboard Experiences
​​​Bingo hosted by Miss Richfield 1981. Piano lounge sing-alongs with Matt Yee. And big-name, superstar entertainers putting on shows for thousands of adoring fans. If you can dream it, you’ll probably find it in one of the ship’s theaters thanks to exclusive entertainment booked and brought onboard by the Atlantis team. This is all in addition to everything each ship always offers, from multiple restaurants and bars, lavish spas, and crazy at-sea adventures ranging from skydiving and rock climbing to surfing and zip-lining.

​​​Dry Land Optional
​Not everyone likes to be in the middle of nowhere on a floating city and though I don’t personally understand the fear, I acknowledge that it exists. That’s why Atlantis resort vacations make a nice alternative. Heck, even people who love to go on cruise ships enjoy the all-inclusive land vacations as an affordable option for a similar-but-entirely-unique experience.
