Earlier, I covered how an upcoming Atlantis Events cruise (the company organizes cruises intended for LGBTQ+ travelers) faced a major issue on an upcoming Virgin Voyages charter, when Turkey revealed it wouldn’t let the ship dock in the country, citing “moral standards” and “family values.”
The thing is, that cruise wasn’t specifically about Turkey, but instead, it was just one of several stops, with the primary destination being Greece. Well, OMAAT reader Sisyphus pointed me to what’s perhaps an even more interesting cruise concept, which is the first-ever gay cruise from Saudi Arabia. Hmmm…
As you’d expect, most of the company’s experiences are in gay friendly destinations, but not always. From March 28 through April 7, 2027, the company will be hosting its “Arabian Nights Cruise,” described as the company’s “most thrilling adventure yet,” allowing people to “make and live history.”
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
