VACAYA's first big Mediterranean cruise takes you nine nights on the Celebrity Equinox across two continents. From Barcelona it goes to Ibiza, Tangier in Morocco as well as Lisbon and Porto. The crowning highlight is a total solar eclipse off A Coruña. In between, you can expect days at sea, cultural shore excursions and the typical VACAYA inclusive program of parties and relaxing moments. (As of research: sold out, waiting list.)

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.
