Atlantis Gay Cruise Review: Athens to Barcelona

Have you been wondering about those fabulous Atlantis Gay Cruise voyages that everybody seems to be going on? We’ve got a full review of one that happened back in August- from Athens to Barcelona.

This sensational trip took travellers on a 10-day journey aboard Virgin Voyages’ stunning Resilient Lady. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or setting sail for the first time, this trip offers the perfect combination of sun-soaked destinations, thrilling entertainment, and inclusive fun—all with thousands of new friends from around the world.

To get an insider’s perspective, Gay Sydney Australia spoke to a guest onboard the latest Atlantis gay cruise. Here’s what they had to say about the experience:

We joined in Athens and sailed through Mykonos, Malta, and other Mediterranean hotspots before finishing in Barcelona. Atlantis runs this cruise annually, and this year they even did two back-to-back voyages—Athens to Barcelona and then Barcelona to London. Quite a few people stayed on for both, though we just did the one."

A Spectacular Itinerary and Unique Onboard Experience

From the whitewashed beauty of Mykonos to the rich history of Malta and the vibrant beaches of Mallorca, this cruise offers something for everyone. Every day brings a new destination to explore, with the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Guests can wander through charming towns, soak up the Mediterranean sun, and sample local cuisine at every stop.

But the magic of an Atlantis cruise isn’t just about where you go—it’s about the atmosphere onboard.

A lot of people clutch their pearls at the thought of being stuck at sea with thousands of gay people, but honestly, it’s incredible. As the founder Rich says, being in a space where everyone is queer is something we rarely get to experience. There’s every shape, size, and age onboard—and no one cares about any of that. There's this great sense of inclusivity and freedom."

Entertainment Designed for the Queer Community

The Atlantis gay cruise offers entertainment designed exclusively for its guests, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.

"Every night is a party, and some of the highlights are the Pink Party, White Party, and the Country Origin Party, where everyone dresses up to represent their home country. The outfits were incredible! And because there are people from all over the world, it felt like a global celebration."
Ben Mulcahy

For those who love live performances, the entertainment lineup does not disappoint:

Trevor Ashley performed on our trip, and for the second cruise, Courtney Act came onboard. All the shows are specifically tailored for the LGBTQ+ audience, which makes them extra special. "There was a disco night, a military-themed party, and even an Olympic bash to celebrate the Paris Olympics. The parties are always fun, and they mix up the themes every time."

Atlantis Gay Cruises: A Safe, Inclusive Space for Everyone

The cruise offers a space where everyone can be themselves without judgement. Whether you’re travelling solo or with friends, you’ll find a supportive community onboard:

There’s a misconception that everyone on these cruises is ripped and super-fit, but that’s not the case at all. It’s a complete mixed bag, and everyone is just there to have a great time."
