Group Travel: Gay Cruises, Tours + Resort Vacations
If you prefer Group Travel, then you might consider taking a Gay Cruise, or a Tour. Or perhaps, a vacation at a Gay event at a Resort. Just as Cruises have become a very large and growing part of the general travel industry, Gay Cruises continue to attract more and more Gay Men.
In addition to the Gay Cruise, there are Gay Cruise/Tours, Gay Tours and also Gay Vacation packages at some major resorts. Our Gay Cruise + Tours + Resort Pages provides listing of all types.
Perhaps when you think “Gay Cruise”, you picture huge weeklong Gay parties on a ship. That’s understandable. That is one segment of the Gay Cruise market, and the one that most captures the media’s attention.
However, there are different types of Gay Cruises. So take some time and review our cruise listings; perhaps you will find what’s best fits your interests.
All Gay vs Gay
If its an “All-Gay Cruise,” the travel company has booked the entire cruise ship (or sailing yacht or river boat) and all or most of the Guests are customers of the Gay Travel Company. In which case, you can assume most of the guests are Gay, but not all. If it’s called a “Gay Cruise” then its likely that only a portion of the ship has been booked by the Gay Travel Company. You will be part of a Gay group on the ship, but there may be many other passengers who are not part of the group and may know nothing about it.
Cruise vs Sailing Cruise vs River Cruise
Generally “Cruises” are assumed to be on large Cruise Ships with all the amenities of big resort hotels and shopping malls. There ships are designed for larger numbers of vacationers for one or multi-week cruise vacations. Cruise ships are designed for protected “seas” such as the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or Alaska’s Inner passage. Ocean Liners like Cunard’s Queen Mary are designed for the much rougher Ocean crossings. Cruise ships typically have more than 1,000 passengers and the largest Cruise ships now have upwards of 6,500 passengers.
Sailing Cruises are on small to medium size sailing vessels with anywhere from 12 to 350 passengers. With fewer passengers the experience can be more intimate. Sailing cruises have several advantages: These smaller ships can often access inner harbors and smaller ports. While at many destinations, big cruise ships must dock at modern ports far from the historic areas you may wish to visit, sailing vessels usually dock close to where you really want to go. The smaller the vessel, the closer it can get to what you really want to see.
Sailing vessels are often designed to provide for water sport activities off of the side or the stern of the ship. The Wind Star ships, use by Source Events, have a sport deck that opens up on the stern of the sailing ship which provides for swimming, jet skiing, and speed boat activities. These water stops can be the highlight of a cruise.
River Cruises are often long narrow boats with hotel-like accommodations and are designed for cruises only along inner waterways. Usually the boats have luxury accommodations. The river cruises can make frequents stops which allow guests to easily towns, cities and historic places along the river. These cruises are usually on rivers and canals in Europe and also on the Nile in Egypt.
Nude or Clothing Optional
While some Cruises may offer a deck area when Guest can sunbathe nude, there are numerous Sailing Cruises which are Nude or Fully-Clothing Optional. Also there are some Resort Events which are Clothing Optional and a few that are Nude and Not Clothing Optional.
Cruise Tours
While most Cruises offer tours as optional excursions, Cruise Tours are usually include a few days touring and a day or more of a Cruise Component. Usually the Cruise component is on a sailing vessel or a river boat.
Tours
Gay or mixed group tours are land-based and may visit a major destinations such as Machu Picchu or numerous cities or historical locations in a region. Tours are usually between 6 and 20 guests, so they can provide a good way to get to know a small group of people.
Resort Vacations
Some of the Gay Travel providers who offer all Gay Cruises got their start offering all Gay Resort Holiday Vacations. Our focus will be on a all Gay Resort Vacations. Most Resort Vacations are all-inclusive meaning the meals and many activities are included. Usually alcoholic drinks and special activities are extra.
