Transatlantic Brazil gay cruise map

 

Barcelona gay cruise

Day 1 - Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is one of the most popular cities for cruises in the Mediterranean, and the port of Barcelona is ready to surprise you. Barcelona's gay nightlife. Among the “ramblas” we discover great food and rivers of beer, but we are always under the watchful eye of Gaudi, who captured and expressed the soul of this place. The city is home to an innovative contemporary art museum, the Sagrada Familia Cathedral and the Camp Nou. Also, after these popular destinations, you can discover the Catalan culture. Take a walk down La Rambla before visiting the Picasso Museum. The Spanish capital is packed full of memorable architecture.

 

Malaga gay cruise

Day 3 - Malaga, Spain
In Southern Spain along the Costa del Sol, Malaga is quietly and steadfastly making a name for itself as an unforgettable place to enjoy life, get up close and personal with art and historic sights, and see breathtaking scenery along the way. Plus, Spanish tapas and a strong coffee culture contribute to a rapidly booming foodie scene for both hole-in-the-wall joints and upscale, special occasion dining. Malaga strikes just the right balance of artistic and coastal, making it a relaxed vacation destination for all ages and interests.

 

Seville Spain gay cruise

Day 4 - Cadiz (Seville), Spain
Make a stop in Cadiz, an Andalusian town that gives its name to the region it is capital of and the gulf on whose heights it stands proud. Its buildings are characterised by influences, in chronological order, of the Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and the Christians. The port of Cadiz was the departure point of the expedition that led to the discovery of America. Here you can admire the charming seafront promenade and the 3 km bridge that crosses the bay. Don't miss the chance to taste "tapas de chorizo" or see a flamenco show.

 

Lisbon Portugal gay cruise

Day 6 - Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is Portugal’s vibrant, colorful capital city, and the country’s cultural and commercial heart. There’s a lot to do in Lisbon, and lots of options for all tastes, at all times of year. Lisbon is famous for its cultural heritage, Baroque churches, Fado shows, delicious seafood, and brilliantly preserved architecture in the city’s many walkable neighborhoods. While there, ride the iconic Tram 28 from the city center up to Bairro Alto. Tour the Torre de Belem, a fortified tower built in the 16th century that watches over the city from the mouth of the River Tagus.

 

Gran Canaria gay cruise

Day 8 - Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (Canary Islands)
Natural beauty aside, Gran Canaria is dotted with beautiful, historic towns where you’ll see the typical island architecture of whitewashed houses with ornate wooden balconies. Las Palmas, the capital, is a thriving, modern city with an exquisite old heart and one of the world’s finest urban beaches. You’ll quickly understand why this fascinating island has been dubbed "the continent in miniature".

 

Tenerife gay cruise

Day 9 - Santa Cruz, Tenerife (Canary Islands)
Santa Cruz is a cosmopolitan city of different influences and varied trends, as you can see from the mix of historic buildings and modern architecture. After leaving the port, start your tour with a visit of the Auditorio de Tenerife and the “Circulo de Amistad." Then take a visit to the Nuestra Señora de África market, where you will find crafts and artisanal products made from natural ingredients, as well as the famous wine of the region. Finally, check out the local cuisine made with potatoes, chilies and exotic spices.

 

Cape Verde gay cruise

Day 12 - Mindelo, Sao Vincente (Cape Verde Islands)
The Cape Verde archipelago is group of ten volcanic islands that enjoy a year-round warm climate, turquoise seas and beautiful landscapes. The isles were first inhabited after their discovery by Portuguese sailors during the 15th century. Mindelo is the capital of São Vicente and birthplace of Cesaria Evora—a singer who rose from poverty to worldwide fame on the international stage. She performed her distinctive mornaballads to audiences while barefoot, which soon became her trademark style; her music is widely celebrated and is a part of Cape Verde’s heritage.

 

Maceio, Brazil gay cruise

Day 17 - Maceio, Brazil
Magnificent lagoons and one of the most incredible coral reefs for a breathtaking dive, await us in Maceio in Brazil. Enjoy a stop at the port of Maceio to discover the tourist attraction and the rich history of this Brazilian coastal city, capital of the State of Alagoas. During the stop you can walk through the wonderful town of Jaraguá, pay a visit to the beach of Praia do Francês, with one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world, and visit the magnificent lagoons of Santa Rita Island.

 

Salvador Bahia, Brazil gay cruise

Day 18 - Salvador de Bahia, Brazil
Here you’ll experience the true essence of Brazil: an intense and mystical city where a thousand souls pulsate together as one heart that never stops. High above the enormous bay of Todos os Santos (All Saints), where your cruise ship awaits your return, Salvador de Bahia has an electric feel from the moment you arrive. This is the great cultural and historical centre of Brazil, where Afro-Brazilian heritage is strongest and where capoeira, candomblé and samba de roda were created. The centro histórico of this magical place, a melange of narrow cobbled streets, peeling purple walls, grand Baroque churches, kids kicking footballs, rastas, locals sipping bottled beer on plastic chairs, the wafting aroma of herbs and the almost constant beating of drums, especially as the sun sets. Beyond the old town Salvador is a vast, sprawling city, with a vibrant beach life, modern skyscrapers and plenty of favelas.

 

Rio Brazil gay cruise

Day 20 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The sensations you’ll experience are beyond imagination, in the shadow of the Corcovado, while the joie de vivre will infect you with the rhythm of the samba. Christ the Redeemer, one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World, stands atop the Corcovado peak. Survey the city from a platform below the 125-foot statue or hop on a cable car to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain and get a different perspective of Rio de Janeiro and the Christ. Feel a rush to your senses from the awesome activity on world-famous beaches Ipanema and Copacabana. If the quiet side of Rio is what you seek, a visit to the lush botanical garden - home to some 8,000 species - will delight you.
