Itinerary
Greece's capital combines the ancient Acropolis high above the city with lively districts such as Plaka, many museums and Mediterranean joie de vivre.
The medieval fortified city clings to a rock off the southeast coast of the Peloponnese. Through a gate you enter the car-free old town with Byzantine churches and alleys.
The small harbour town on the west coast of the Peloponnese is your gateway to ancient Olympia. Here you will go ashore to explore the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
The greenest of the Ionian Islands welcomes you with a Venetian old town, olive groves and turquoise bays. Corfu Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its elegant architecture.
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.
The Sicilian port city on the south coast is your starting point to the nearby Valley of the Temples of Agrigento. It is also home to the writer Andrea Camilleri.
The port of Tunis is your gateway to the Tunisian capital and the ruins of ancient Carthage. The white and blue artists' village of Sidi Bou Saïd is also very close.
Sardinia's capital Cagliari towers over the harbour with its castle district and combines ancient heritage, narrow streets and the long sandy beach of Poetto.
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.
