The Whole Ship is Ours!

First, we charter the newest ships from the very best cruise lines in the world and take over the entire ship. This allows us to customize every facet of the experience — entertainment, itinerary, shore excursions — to create a one-of-a-kind vacation tailored specifically to our incredibly diverse group of gay and lesbian guests from around the world. Our cruises aren't just about relaxation and fun. They're about newness, romance, and fresh perspective. They're about exploration and adventure, about escaping normalcy by acting spontaneously — going places you never thought you would go and doing things you never thought you could do. They're about waking up next to your long-time partner or short-term fling and realizing, together, that you've woken up in a different and wonderful port. Mostly, though, our cruises are about having the time of your life with like-minded friends, new and old.

This is the way we play.

Start With the Best Ships in the World

When you embark on an Atlantis cruise, you're not just boarding a big ship — you're boarding a feat of nautical engineering. We charter only the newest, state-of-the-art ships from the fleets of industry-leading cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Azamara, and Holland America. Cast aside any notions of claustrophobia — these ships might span the length of three football fields and tower up to eighteen stories above the water. So, whether you're lounging beside a pristine pool, curling up with a book in a cozy cafe, or setting off on a quiet sunset stroll along the expansive decks, it's always easy to get lost at sea.

Wake Up In a Different Place Every Morning

Your stateroom stays the same, but the view is constantly changing. Every day there's an amazing new destination to explore. And leave the planning to us. Our team begins preparing for your arrival at every port months before the ship even sets sail. Our optional tours and activities are often customized just for our guests, with an active approach. From kayaking and scuba diving to sightseeing and shopping, to history and culture tours, there's something for everyone waiting ashore. Of course, the day is totally up to you, and there's always the option of staying onboard, sleeping in, or lounging around the pool. The best part is, you only have to pack once!

The Best in Gay and Lesbian Entertainment.

Great entertainment isn't just entertaining, it's the presentation of stunning and surprising talent, diverse and unusual shows, special guest stars, and up-and-coming names, and an understanding of who you want to see today. We pride ourselves on selecting the top talent in the gay and lesbian community, along with entertainers you might never see anywhere else. Atlantis hand-selects each and every comic, singer, musician, cabaret act, production show, drag performer, DJ, and more to create a lineup that's tailor-made for a wide range of tastes. As you know, "The perfect night out" is in the eye of the beholder, which is why our cruises offer a variety of perfect nights, every night.

And our entertainment isn't just about the evenings. Throughout the day, a wide range of activities — everything from pool games to glass blowing demonstrations to wine tastings — are crafted for your enjoyment. Who knows where you might find yourself!

Legendary Parties for Everyone

Some people think that an Atlantis cruise is one big party. Actually, it's over a dozen parties, designed to enchant, amaze, and engage every one of your senses in an over-the-top spectacle. Our talented lighting, sound, video, and scene designers join forces to transform our outdoor decks into jaw-dropping, fantastical extravaganzas. Because we know there's nothing like dancing under the moonlight in the middle of the ocean as we sail through the night.

So what's it like? That one's easy... it's crazy, fun, and with a completely relaxed vibe. Some of our theme nights are legendary experiences designed to let your imagination run wild. Some nights showcase music from the hottest clubs of today to the music of the '70s or '80s. Some nights will surprise you in their simplicity.

And you'll always fit in — there's never any pressure to dress up in outlandish outfits and you don't even need to step on the dance floor to fully experience it all. Sometimes it's just as much fun to watch the mesmerizing lights and lasers from the balcony with a few friends. And when you've had enough, your room is never more than an elevator button away.

The Only Rule is There Are No Rules

Well, sort of. Of course we have a set of guidelines in place to keep you safe, healthy, and comfortable — but in general we adhere to a simple philosophy: No one should tell you what to do on your vacation. You are not obligated to go on any tours, eat at a specific time, or engage in group activities. And don't even think about dress codes — it's your vacation, wear whatever you want! (Within the boundries of good taste and appropriateness, of course.)

Delicious and Friendly Dining

Since we strongly believe that you should be able to eat whatever and whenever you want on vacation, we make sure a variety of culinary options are available to you throughout. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite at our lavish buffet, joining friends for a multi-course meal, enjoying one of our sensational specialty restaurants, or relaxing in your stateroom over room service, there's always a an option to please any taste.

All main restaurants on an Atlantis cruise offer open seating so you can dine with whomever you want, whenever you want. Our friendly staff will always find a place for you, whether you're a party of 1 or 11. And of course, there's never a dress code on Atlantis, so feel free to come as you are.

Staterooms With All the Luxuries of a 5-Star Hotel

Like our guests, our staterooms come in many different designs and instantly make you feel right at home. Our modern ships feature sleek, comfortable rooms, the majority of which have balconies overlooking the sea. Twice a day your dedicated steward will service your stateroom with an attention to detail found only in 5-star hotels. The beds are luxurious, bathrooms are cozy and smartly designed, the view is spectacular, and there are plenty of places to put your shoes. From the comfort of your room you can order room service 24-hours a day, choose from a wide range of movies (including top gay cinema), organize your day, or simply have some private time away from it all.

The Atlantis Community is Your Community

At the heart of any Atlantis cruise is an overwhelming spirit of community. Our very first priority is to ensure that you feel welcomed, included, and most of all, comfortable. It doesn't matter how old you are, how tall you are, where you are from, what language you speak, or how tan you are  — all that matters is how happy you are. Atlantis cruises are designed to celebrate our similarities while recognizing our individual preferences  — which is why we offer the widest possible variety of ports, activities, tours, entertainment, nightlife, and cuisine. But our greatest asset is you  — you're why we started cruising, and you're why over sixty percent of our guests on any cruise have sailed with us before.
