Seychelles, a tropical paradise known for its turquoise waters, sandy beaches, wildlife, and year-round mild weather, is set to become the ultimate destination for gay cruises this October. Variety Cruises, a provider of small ship cruises, will launch its inaugural gay cruise adventure to the stunning islands of Seychelles on October 28, 2023, with prices starting from £2026 ($2579) per person. LGBTQ+ travelers can embark on an island cruise to discover the wonders of Seychelles. Whether you are seeking a romantic getaway or an adventurous escape, this gay cruise promises to deliver an unforgettable experience in paradise.
This exclusive LGBTQIA+ cruise offers a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of the Seychelles archipelago while enjoying exceptional service on board the Pegasus. With a range of stops where guests can immerse themselves in the local culture, visit inhabited islands for their wildlife, designated national parks, and generally experience the breathtaking marine life up close during the swim stops in the crystal-clear waters. In addition to the scenic beauty, guests will also have the chance to savor the local cuisine, indulge in the vibrant entertainment, and explore the fascinating culture of the islands onboard the Pegasus or during offshore excursions.
The cruise starts and finishes in Mahe on St Anne Island. Other island-hopping stops include Curieuse (ideal for a beach party), brief stops at Cousin Island for a visit to the local bird sanctuary, and then onto Anse Lazio and Praslin Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in time for snorkeling and water sports. From traditional Creole dishes to exotic fruits and spices, the Seychelles offers a culinary experience like no other. The local entertainment showcases the rich cultural heritage of the islands, providing a delightful and immersive experience for all. On the fourth day, guests sail to Aride, St. Pierre where they’ll experience Praslin and Baie St Anne for its Creole Night. La Digue and Moyenne are other island stops queer guests will visit before disembarking at Mahe.
Every night, guests will be entertained by local dancers/musicians, Off-Broadway Musical at Sea, and more! One of the benefits of traveling on board Variety’s small intimate ships is that travel-enhancing experiences are enjoyed with fellow passengers sharing similar interests.
The prices include accommodation in an air-conditioned double or twin en-suite cabin, full board (buffet breakfast and two meals daily), Welcome Cocktail, Theme Night, Captain’s Dinner, regular coffee, tea, and drinking water, use of snorkeling equipment (subject to availability), English speaking cruise director.
