While cruising for some man-on-man action is a time-honoured tradition that we all have a duty to continue to uphold, in this context we’re talking about getting on an actual boat and hitting the high seas for your vacation. Your gay cruise experience will vary depending on which travel company you book with, but the quintessential gay cruise is a men-only experience that provides you with unlimited opportunities to get your rocks off while experiencing whatever destinations are on the ship's itinerary. ### How does a gay cruise differ from other gay vacations? The thing about a gay cruise is that everything you need is right on your doorstep – not just the men, but your meals, the bars, the entertainment, and the parties are all within easy reach of the cabin where you sleep. In many ways, a cruise gives you the best of both worlds – everything that happens on the boat as well as opportunities to explore each destination with off-ship excursions and activities such as parasailing, diving, and wildlife encounters. ### Is it easy to connect with guys on a gay cruise? When you’re travelling, the best way to meet local guys is generally to hit the hook-up apps or try your luck in the bars or bathhouses. On a gay cruise, the logistics get a lot simpler – everyone that you want to meet is right there, literally on your doorstep. That abundance of choice can sometimes be a double-edged sword – everyone is chasing something, everyone is chasing someone. A good strategy is to put the technology to work – fire up your hook-up app, send some DMs, and start some conversations with the other guys on board. Having already established a connection makes it easier to seal the deal than if you’re starting cold. ### What is the “dick deck”? While it’s generally not an official designation, it won’t take you long to figure out that there’s a particular part of the boat where guys go when they’re horny and looking for action. The dick deck. You’ll often find the dick deck at the top level of the boat, or somewhere that’s a bit tucked away without much through-traffic. ## Which gay cruise company should I go with? While it’s important to do your research, there’s a couple of major travel brands that specialise in the gay cruise market. ### **1\. Atlantis Events:** Atlantis cruises kind of set the standard for all the gay cruise stereotypes that flood our social media. They lean into the circuit-gay vibe. ### **2\. VACAYA:** VACAYA position themselves as a more diverse and inclusive experience than the traditional all-male, all-gay cruises that are generally a bit of a sex-fest. You’re still going to be able to find plenty of sex on a VACAYA boat but it is likely to be a bit less in-your-face. ### **3\. Out Adventures:** Out Adventures markets itself towards an older demographic with more of a focus on travel experiences and interesting destinations than all-night parties. ## When is the best time to go on a gay cruise? The timing of your trip will largely be shaped by the destinations that you want included on your itinerary. For example, if it’s a Mediterranean trip then it needs to be in the European summer. If you’re heading to the Caribbean, you’ll want to avoid cyclone season. ## How should I prepare for my first gay cruise? When it comes to packing, you need to be thinking not only about what you’re going to wear but also the sex-essentials that you might need on your expedition. For example, make sure that you’ve refilled your PrEP and DoxyPEP prescriptions as you won’t have easy access to medications aboard. You might want to pack some sex toys or maybe some BDSM gear (even if it's just for the parties) but be conscious of which airports you might be transiting through – I once had a dildo confiscated in Doha airport, which was a humiliating experience. You'll obviously need swim-briefs, sunglasses, and a floppy hat, but most gay cruises will also have a different themed party each night – you’re going to want to make sure that you’re on theme and matching the vibe. Get into the spirit of the event - making a good impression at the theme parties is a great way to start conversations and connect with other guys. Also, don’t forget to pack your gym gear – the on-board gym is a great way to make connections. ## What makes vacation sex so good? It’s pretty much a scientific fact that sex on vacation is top-tier. There’s something about being in a different location, a different head-space, that means that you’re more relaxed and more in touch with your body. Perhaps it’s also that you’re surrounded by guys that are all new to you – these aren’t the same faces that you usually see on the grid of your hook-up app. You’ve got a smorgasbord of fresh cock ready to be sampled. But wherever you are in the world, the mechanics of man-on-man sex are pretty much the same. You need to be looking after your health. You want to feel clean and confident. You want to feel desired. You want someone to spit in your face and call you a good boy. See you on the dick deck?
