For ten nights, the Oceania Allura will sail from Trieste to Barcelona. The route includes Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Catania, Gozo, La Goulette near Tunis and Palma de Mallorca. On August 2, the ship will remain at sea so that guests can watch the total solar eclipse; VACAYA expressly points out that visibility depends on the weather. The full charter is intended for the entire LGBTQ+ community and combines an extensive entertainment and party program with a comparatively luxurious ship. Restaurants, a prestige drinks package, basic Wi-Fi and the VACAYA program are included, according to the organizer. Almost all cabins have a private veranda, the standard cabins are unusually large at around 27 square meters. The trip is sold out.

The ship · Oceania Allura

The Allura belongs to Oceania Cruises. The ocean-going ship is around 246 meters long, measured at about 68,000 GT and designed for 1,200 guests. Its 605 cabins and suites are divided into different categories, from veranda cabins to large suites.

The focus is on several restaurants and a wide range of culinary offerings in relation to the size of the ship. In addition, there are lounges, library, pool deck, spa and fitness areas. The Allura sails changing international routes and is not a particularly queer cruise ship. For a specific trip, the route, duration of the trip and charter operator are therefore more important than the ship name. If you are looking for a quieter alternative to large resort ships, you will find a much more compact on-board concept here.

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.
