After its successful cruises of 2009, Ambientravel, a gay cruise travel agent from Barcelona, is eager to repeat its gay-friendly concept in 2010.
Although in the USA gay cruises are a big thing, Europe is only starting in that direction. The biggest obstacle is believed a lack of a strong gay company that would be able to close a big deal equal to what Atlantis accomplished.
At the same time instead of gay only concept so popular in the USA, we saw quite many gay friendly cruises around Europe. The difference is that not entire ship is for gay passengers only, but a rather big gay group of gay travellers are on the cruise.
Some might like it, some not.
Gay only cruise provides that vivid sexy gay experience many are dreaming of. The gay cruise is really a cruising experience if you allow that. Entertainment we know from Atlantis is impeccable and overall rating would be Thumbs Up!
So why try a gay friendly cruise. The reasons are suprisingly many.
First of all, the price tag is dramatically lower. Expect to pay half of gay only cruise. There are some great deals on gay friendly cruises around Europe and the one departing on 13 of November from Malaga, Spain is a tremendous saving.
At the moment the price tag is 299euros a person for a two people cabin to share. This includes all gay entertainment events, indeed. Booking through Ambientravel site you will be given an option to select the referring part, choose El Gato Lounge, and you will get 2 drinks for free during your pre-cruise party in Torremolinos-Malaga.
Besides the fact you get on a great ship, operated to the high standards of Royal Caribbean, you will get a chance to know Spanish guys. The thing is, this gay friendly group of some 300 guys is mostly Spanish, with some 20% of guys from the rest of Europe or those living in Spain. So the hot Spanish hunks are that close! The entertainment will be in Spanish, so brush up your Spanish very quickly!
Another good thing is that the cruise is sailing low season, the period when there are not so many cruises in Europe at all. November is a low season for airlines, so you will probably find low fare tickets to Malaga. Malaga airport is a hub for Ryanair operations connecting Malaga to virtualy any European country. Book early and you will get a return flight for 150euros from as far as Sweden.
Don’t come just for a gay cruise, stay some additional days ashore. The pre-cruise party is held in Torremolinos, a seaside gay resort with more than 30 gay and lesbian venues within 5 min walk area. We would recommend Gay Bungalows, right in the front line overlooking Mediterranean and yet just 5 min walk from all the gay bars and clubs. Gay Bungalows are a great deal too, you pay some 40 euros a night for a nice bungalow in a tropical garden, with private steps down to the beach. A private parking space is included in price, and this is a luxury, my friend! Guys from Gay Bungalows site can help you with your booking of the cruise, if you are not that fluent in Spanish and have a trouble filling in the booking form.
Explore south of Spain from Torremolinos. Daytrips to Gibraltar, Granada, Cordoba, Marbella or even Seville – are all easy to do.
So, a great idea for a budget yet very exciting gay friendly cruise for your next holiday in November.
