Itinerary
Venice enchants with canals, St. Mark's Square and gondolas, while nearby Trieste on the Adriatic Gulf offers Habsburg heritage, coffee house culture and Miramare Castle.
The Croatian coastal city on the Adriatic Sea is grouped around the ancient Diocletian's Palace. Between Roman masonry, lively alleys and the Riva waterfront, life pulsates.
Today you will enjoy a relaxing day on the high seas. Use the time for the on-board offers, to sunbathe on deck or simply to relax with a view of the sea.
Malta's compact capital is a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of Baroque splendour. The fortified city of the Knights of St. John impresses with St. John's Cathedral and views over the Grand Harbour.
Sicily's lively capital fascinates you with Arab-Norman buildings, magnificent churches and lively markets. You will be immersed in a rich history and excellent cuisine.
The charming little town above the Gulf of Naples is enthroned on steep cliffs with a view of Mount Vesuvius. Lemon gardens, narrow streets and the nearby Amalfi Coast make up the charm.
Civitavecchia is the port of Rome. From here you can reach the Eternal City with the Colosseum, Vatican and Trevi Fountain as well as millennia full of art and history.
Via the picturesque bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer you reach the sophisticated Côte d'Azur. In Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, the old town and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea await you.
The oldest city in France on the Mediterranean pulsates around the Old Port. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde towers over it all, while multicultural neighborhoods enliven the city.
The Catalan metropolis on the Mediterranean fascinates you with Gaudí's Sagrada Família, the lively promenade La Rambla and the Gothic old quarter.

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.
