Getting Out of Town: Cruising Atlantis Style

Start with the world's best cruise ships. Create unique, all-gay environments designed for absolute comfort and enjoyment. Fill the entire ship with incredible people from all over the world, and from all walks of life. Create a community that simply doesn't exist anywhere on land. That's cruising the Atlantis way.

There is no single Atlantis experience. It's what you make it, and where you take it. A cruise vacation means different things to different people, but it begins by getting away from the ordinary. Atlantis creates a perfect place where you can be yourself, relax, and explore the world around you. A casual, carefree environment that lets you play the way you want.

The secret is simple. Atlantis charters an entire cruise ship and creates a relaxed, beautiful setting for a diverse group of people from all over the globe to enjoy. Atlantis passengers are roughly half singles and half couples, and represent a broad mix of ages. Some travel alone, some travel with lovers, some travel with friends. It’s everything you want it to be, and better than you’d ever expect.

From sun up until the wee hours of the morning, each day is filled with new possibilities, beautiful beaches, exotic islands, and fascinating ports of call. Be as active as you wish – you'll find plenty of sports, games, and surprises for passengers of all skill levels. Learn to scuba dive. Dance outdoors in the middle of the ocean. Make new friends over sushi. Discover a pristine and secluded beach. Atlantis creates entertainment that's designed just for you. They're your hosts, your entertainers, and your new friends. And they're here to make sure that your cruise is fun and fulfilling.

But sometimes you may just want to do nothing. You'll find ample opportunity to get away from it all. There's no clock, no schedule, and never any pressure. What to do is entirely up to you. So relax and enjoy yourself. Let tensions dissolve, inhibitions retreat, and smiles appear.

Hungry? You'll be tempted by a variety of dining options, including Italian, Asian-fusion, tapas, sushi, and traditional cruise fare. Open seating and flexible hours make mealtime a great time to meet friends, old and new.

At night, an Atlantis event really comes to life. Whether it's a full-scale stage production unlike anything you've ever seen, leading gay talent, or a special celebrity guest performer, Atlantis keeps you entertained in ways you never imagined. And an Atlantis cruise wouldn't be complete without a superstar onboard – past performers include Rosie O'Donnell, Patti LuPone, Cybill Shepherd, Chaka Khan, Blondie, Roseanne, and Bruce Vilanch. Who knows who might show up next?

And Atlantis loves a party. Actually, an Atlantis cruise is several big parties, featuring the best DJs in the world. Add state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and lasers on deck, and the magic begins. The tea dances are jubilant, the theme nights are legendary, and it's all designed to please everyone.

Atlantis next sets sail on the Celebrity Constellation on August 20, 2008 taking in four countries – England, France, Spain, and Portugal. 

Till next month, happy travels!
