This is not an exclusively gay cruise.
Potential of gay tourism in Turkey is not so big
for frequent gay cruises, unfortunately. We organize this cruise in cooperation with other

travel agencies and are mostly western tourists.

and twin (separate) beds are not guaranteed for double booking.

to book a private cabin and pay the corresponding price
supplement.
The boats are standard quality and the cruise is classified as
cabin charter.

Private charter
version of same cruise can be organized with standard or deluxe
boats if requested. Similar rates can be offered for private
groups consisting of some 12-16 people.

The captain
can make some minor changes with the route due to weather
conditions and unavoidable technical problems.

for guests. But still we recommend you to bring your own extra
towels as well as swimming and sun bathing materials, a
