This seven-day Atlantis cruise starts and ends in Athens. In between, the Scarlet Lady visits Rhodes, Limassol in Cyprus, Mykonos, Santorini and Heraklion in Crete. In Mykonos, the ship stays until two o'clock in the morning, on Santorini until late in the evening. So beach, queer nightlife and the sunset at the caldera fit into the same itinerary. A day at sea creates a break between Cyprus and the Cyclades. Atlantis is targeting the full charter primarily at gay men and announces about 2,700 guests. The operator quotes entry-level prices starting at 1,299 US dollars.

The ship · Scarlet Lady

The Scarlet Lady was the first ship of Virgin Voyages and stands for a cruise concept that deliberately does not want to look like a classic cruise: only for adults, without a dress code and without a fixed hands-on entertainment program. It is precisely this openness that makes the ship popular with queer travelers.

On board, the atmosphere is expressly casual and non-judgmental. Over twenty restaurants are included in the fare, including the now well-known Drag Queen Bingo as a fixed entertainment format. Virgin Voyages does not have a fixed LGBTQ+ orientation, in principle everyone is welcome on board, but the audience is considered to be above average diverse and open.

Specialized operators such as Atlantis Events or Big Gay Cruise charter the Scarlet Lady again and again completely for pure gay cruises with their own party and stage program. Anyone who books such a charter trip travels with an exclusively queer community, otherwise with a mixed but very open-minded audience.

Frequently asked questions

How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?
As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.

What is usually included?
Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.

Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.

What are the cancellation terms?
That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.

What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?
The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
