Spanien & Marokko – Zwischen den Kontinenten 2027
7 nights · 8 ports · Vasco da Gama
Spartacus Cruises will sail from Palma "between the continents" in 2027. A week at Vasco da Gama takes you through Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Marbella and the Moroccan city of Tangier, plus theme parties, shows and queer joie de vivre. Full board is included.
Itinerary
The capital of Mallorca will inspire you with its imposing Gothic cathedral La Seu, the charming old town and a lively harbour promenade directly on the Mediterranean Sea.
The Catalan metropolis on the Mediterranean fascinates you with Gaudí's Sagrada Família, the lively promenade La Rambla and the Gothic old quarter.
Spain's third-largest city combines historic old town with futuristic architecture in the City of Arts and Sciences. Home of paella and miles of beaches.
The sun-drenched port city on the Costa Blanca enchants you with the Santa Bárbara Castle above the city, a palm-lined promenade and fine sandy beaches.
The elegant resort on Spain's Costa del Sol combines a charming old town with sophisticated beaches. Palm tree promenades, marinas and a mild climate characterise the flair.
The Moroccan port city at the gateway to the Strait of Gibraltar combines African and European flair. The medina, lively souks and the location above the strait are fascinating.
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.
The capital of Mallorca will inspire you with its imposing Gothic cathedral La Seu, the charming old town and a lively harbour promenade directly on the Mediterranean Sea.
Cabins
The ship · Vasco da Gama
The Vasco da Gama is part of the nicko cruises fleet and offers a manageable, rather intimate atmosphere on board with around 1,000 passengers. Originally built for another tour operator, the ship later came to nicko cruises and since then has mainly served routes in the Mediterranean and on the Adriatic coast, often with destinations such as Kotor, the Albanian Riviera or the Amalfi Coast.
The Vasco da Gama is regularly transformed into a pure gay charter ship: In cooperation with the provider Spartacus Cruise, which specializes in queer travel, the entire ship is booked exclusively for gay guests, now several times in a row. Departing ports of such charter trips include Dubrovnik or Piraeus, the routes lead through popular destinations in the eastern Adriatic and the Mediterranean. On board, pool parties, theme nights and a targeted entertainment programme create an atmosphere that is very different from the ship's otherwise mixed cruises.
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.
