The cruise industry has gone a long way in accepting its gay and lesbian customers and LGBTQ travel, not just admitting it. Given that statistics suggests that the number of gay and lesbian tourists who cruise is equal to – or perhaps somewhat greater than – the percentage of heterosexual passengers, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise.
A homosexual cruise’s beauty is found in the shared adventure of journeying with your community. Every voyage creates a space where you can be yourself; you may decide if you want to fit in and be liked by everyone, or stand out and be praised for your individuality.
These top LGBT cruises are scheduled to depart in 2022 and 2023.
