Atlantis takes over the Med with an all-gay cruise from Athens to Venice. Expect a ship packed with mostly men, plus a few women who love the vibe. It is social, sunny, and cheeky.
Days revolve around the pool. Costumes rule the deck. Think neon shorts, sailor stripes, and a few wigs in the breeze. DJs keep the tempo. Staff keep the spritzes coming. The crowd chats, flirts, and plans the night.
After sunset, the volume lifts. Late night parties roll across the ship. Some are themed. Some are sweaty. All are welcoming. Pick one, or drift between venues. There is always another dance floor around the corner.
Shows hit the big stage early evening. Expect sharp drag, live vocals, and guest acts. Smaller lounges host comics and cabaret. You can keep it cute, or go full glitter. Your call.
The ship is Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady. She feels modern and adults-only. Cabins are smart. Restaurants are included and varied. Fitness fans get real gyms and sunrise classes. Chill seekers find spa time and quiet corners. Capacity is roughly 2,700 guys on this takeover. It feels big, but never dull.
The route is a greatest-hits circuit. Athens sets the tone with ruins and rooftop bars. Mykonos brings beach clubs and sunset selfies. Kuşadası leads to Ephesus, pure ancient drama. Istanbul arrives twice: mosques, bazaars, and night views over the Bosphorus. Then a Lovely Day at Sea, which really means pool music and naps.
Santorini delivers cliffs, white lanes, and blue domes. Another sea day follows. Wonderful, indeed, with a long lunch and a disco nap. Dubrovnik gives stone walls and Adriatic sparkle. Zadar offers art on the waterfront and smooth café culture.
The finale is Venice via Trieste. Sip a spritz on the square. Take a last group photo. Promise to meet again on the next deck party.
Who is it for? Men who like sun, music, and an easy route to friends. Also a few women who enjoy the scene. Come solo or with a crew. Dress up, cool down, repeat. This cruise is about freedom, fun, and the views on every deck.
