Gay Friendly Cruises Ships Stats

A truly gay-friendly cruise line markets directly to our community through targeted advertisements, offers all-gay sailings, understands our needs as a customer, makes our journeys safe and comfortable, and offers activities like “Friends of Dorothy Parties” to help us find fellow gay passengers.

To make GaySailAway’s List of Gay Friendly Cruise Lines potential cruise lines must consistently demonstrate that the LGBT traveler will be graciously welcomed onboard.  We have sorted the list into two categories, Premium Cruise Lines and Luxury Cruise Lines, with links to each perspective cruise lines website. 

Take your time and enjoy exploring their ships and itineraries. Part of the fun of the journey is in the planning, or “dreaming” stage.  Once you have been inspired and have some perspective cruises in mind, visit GaySailAway’s listing of Gay/Gay-Friendly Cruise Specialists and list of upcoming Gay Group Cruises to assist you in booking your journey.

Premium Level Cruise Lines offer elegant cruising on some of the newest ships in the industry. With more standard itineraries and ports, these lines offer some of the best values in cruise vacations.
Celebrity Cruise Lines Logo

Celebrity offers four tiers of ships, from small exclusive vessels that sail "excursion" cruises to the Galapagos Islands to mega-size cruise ships that have an elegant contemporary flair. Imagine Ian Schrager style boutique hotels on the high seas and you can envision the luxurious and sophisticated feel of the Celebrity fleet. Celebrity is known for their excellent dining and service experience at a substantial price reduction from the luxury lines.

Conde Nast Traveler, the travel industry’s premiere luxury magazine, has named Celebrity Cruises as the 2009 World’s Best Mega-Ship Cruise Line, with a reader poll score of 88.9 (out of 100).
