LGBTQ+ Friendly Cruises

What makes a cruise LGBTQ+ friendly?
Most major cruise lines welcome LGBTQ+ guests, but some go further, with hosted meet-ups, Pride celebrations, themed entertainment and even commitment ceremonies on board. The right choice depends on whether you want a big celebration, a sociable welcome or simply a relaxed holiday where everyone feels at home.

Cruise lines that welcome LGBTQ+ travellers
For celebrating Pride, Celebrity Cruises marks the whole of June with Pride events, flies the Pride flag on every ship and hosts LGBTQ+ welcome parties on the first night of almost every cruise. For a party all year, Virgin Voyages hosts drag shows and Drag Bingo on every sailing, and its ships are adults-only. For a classic voyage with company, Cunard offers LGBTQ+ social events and commitment ceremonies, while Holland America and Ambassador both hold LGBTQ+ meet-ups on board.

For destination lovers and big-ship fun
Azamara has a long record of welcoming LGBTQ+ guests, with longer stays and overnights in port so there's time to really explore. Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean are long-standing favourites too, with a warm welcome on board and plenty to do from morning until late.

On the river
VIVA Cruises is a proud member of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association. It has run LGBTQ+ & Friends river cruises and a WorldPride sailing into Amsterdam, all on relaxed, all-inclusive river ships.
