If you are looking for an alternative to your usual gay holiday 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 type of cruise available, often referred to as a gay 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 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.

As would be expected, the entertainment offered is targeted to a straighter, more mainstream clientele. Increasingly though, some nights in certain bars and restaurants are specifically tailored to the gay scene, and there is always the time onshore to arrange events.

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.

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!
