Venice to Rome Mediterranean Cruise 2013

August 24–September 3, 2013
Celebrity Silhouette

The summer's largest gay event continues in 2013 with an all-new cruise from Venice to Rome on the remarkable 2800-guest Celebrity Silhouette. It's an epic journey that spans five countries, including our first-ever call in Montenegro, an overnight in Mykonos, and five more spectacular destinations. Ten fascinating days of exploring are just the beginning when you add unforgettable nights of the world's best gay entertainment and innovative parties.

New Discoveries & Favorite Places

You'll sail from glorious Venice, one of the most sensational places in the world to start a cruise. From the clear waters of the legendary Dalmatian coast, you'll arrive in scenic Dubrovnik, a UNESCO world heritage site where ancient streets lined with stone palaces create one of the most unique cities in the world. Our first-ever visit to Kotor, Montenegro gives you a chance to explore some of the best-preserved architecture in the Adriatic in a remarkable setting. Explore the greenest of the Greek isles with our day in Corfu, before settling in to a relaxing day at sea.

Two of Atlantis favorite Greek Islands invite you to explore the best of the Cyclades. Our overnight stay in festive Mykonos provides plenty of time to explore one of the world's great vacation playgrounds. Spend a day exploring breathtaking Santorini, where whitewashed cliffs meet the clear blue waters of the Med.

As we arrive into Naples, you'll be confronted with the difficult choice of exploring Pompeii, touring the Amalfi coast, relaxing on the island of Capri, or getting lost in the city itself. Of course, you can try to do it all with our extended stay! Finally, discover the southern tip of Corsica, home to some of the most rugged and spectacular coastline in the world, before heading to Rome ten fun-filled days later.

Stunning. Groundbreaking. Designed for Us.

Celebrity Silhouette redefines the cruise experience with spacious modern staterooms, clean lines and resort-like amenities. The world's top designers have created smart, sexy public spaces and restaurants to rival top venues in New York or London. The spa includes specialized guest rooms and over-the-top treatments. And then there are the little things that you would never imagine, like a real grass lawn growing on the top deck.

The magnificent open wood decks are perfect for relaxing in the Mediterranean sunshine, enjoying a refreshing swim, taking in our zany pool games, or enjoying one of Atlantis' signature outdoor t-dances. And the sweeping indoor solarium invites you to relax in an oasis of calm and pampering modern luxury.

The ultra-modern main restaurant boasts a two-story glass wine tower. And that's just the beginning of a culinary adventure that includes an authentic Italian steakhouse, a Mediterranean restaurant, and the sophisticated & seductive Murano. Qsine redefines the art of the possible with an innovative and fun menu and setting. There's even an outdoor grill on the lawn for the most original BBQ on sea or land.

From the high-energy Martini Bar, innovative Molecular Bar, to CellarMasters vast wine selection, you'll find inviting lounges and unique gathering spaces to savor, enjoy, and relax in ways you never imagined.

Two Continents of Spectacular Entertainment

Silhouette's stunning two-story theater is perfect for Atlantis' signature gay and lesbian entertainers, along with Celebrity's elaborate production shows. We'll present the best in gay in lesbian entertainment from the U.S.A. and Europe to create an incredibly vibrant and diverse lineup just for you.

Wherever you look you'll find yourself laughing, singing and amazed every evening.

Nothing in the world compares to dancing outdoors on the top deck of a cruise ship, surrounded by thousands of friends from around the world. Silhouette offers the most striking space we've seen to create a masterpiece of sound, lighting, and special effects. We'll showcase the top gay DJs from around the world to create Europe's hottest event of the summer.

Our theme parties are legendary, original, and endlessly inviting. Atlantis' afternoon t-dances let you cut loose in ways you never imagined. And we're always inventing new ways to make sure everybody joins in the fun. Whether you go out every weekend or haven't seen a dance floor in years, you'll find there's a place for you with Atlantis.

A True International Experience

Atlantis summer Med cruise has become the most international event in our community, with guests from dozens of different countries coming together to explore, meet, play, and relax in a remarkable environment. There's no better way to connect with other cultures and members of our community. We offer onboard programs and assistance for our guests who speak French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and other languages.

Limited Space. Same Great Fares.

Atlantis 2012 Med Cruise sold out in record time and we already have over 1000 guests booked for 2013. As we are only operating one Med cruise in 2013, space is limited. We encourage you to reserve early as this cruise sells out year after year. We have (at least for now), managed to keep our rates identical to 2012 as we strive to bring you the best value in gay vacations.

Join us next summer as Atlantis charts a new course in the Med with our all-new Venice to Rome cruise on Celebrity Silhouette.

We've loved the Silhouette and her sister ships for each of the outstanding 6 sailings Atlantis have operated. Her fresh new design makes a distinctive statement in virtually every room, with a refined level of elegance. As you stroll among the expansive decks, you'll experience the rich color palettes illuminated by beautiful natural light, and revel in the extensive amenities and beautiful artwork – all delivered with the attentive service for which Celebrity Cruises is renowned.

Exciting New Spaces from Top Designers

From her magnificent architecture to advances in technology, Silhouette leaves traditional cruise ship convention behind. World-class design talents like Adam Tihaney, Wilson Butler and Francis Martin created innovative spaces and a unique trail-blazing look throughout the ship. From the wrap around glass that surrounds the ship to the walls of light in the main dining room, you'll quickly see why Silhouette is unlike any ship ever built.

The vast outdoor pool deck features teak decks and overhead sails, flowing effortlessly into the massive indoor Solarium. Further up, you'll discover the world's first natural lawn on a ship – the Lawn Club. It's a perfect spot for relaxing, sunning, or even watching the unique "Hot Glass Show" of professional glass blowers at work.

Silhouette boasts ten uniquely designed lounges and bars, including a Martini Bar with an ice-covered bar, CellarMasters wine bar, and the Molecular Bar for remarkable 21st century cocktails. Michael's Club and the Passport bar offer superb intimate retreats for taking a break with friends and enjoying the best in Atlantis cabaret talent. And of course there's always action in the sophisticated Casino.

Quasar, our intimate indoor nightclub, is perfect for Atlantis late-night and early morning parties. But the crown jewel is literally on top of the ship – a vast all-white lounge called Sky where floor to ceiling windows bring you closer to both the sea and sky.

Modern Dining at Its Best

No less than ten unique dining options offer a variety of pleasures for a wide range of tastes. The Grand Epernay main restaurant features an amazing two-story wine tower along with stunning ocean views, setting the perfect stage for Celebrity's fresh multi-course meals. Four specialty restaurants include the spectacular Tuscan Grille Italian steakhouse and the light Mediterranean cuisine of Blu. And for the most elegant meal at sea, spend a night in Murano for an extraordinary evening of world-class dining, superb wines, and modern elegance.

For a more casual meal, the Ocean view café & bar is open virtually all the time (including Atlantis' famous late-night selections), featuring a variety of choices in a breezy open setting. There's even an outdoor poolside grill for lunch and snacks throughout the day. Sip a coffee in Café al Bacio, or a healthy snack in the AquaSpa café. Relax with friends in Bistro on Five. All of it is ready for Atlantis, and designed for the way you like to dine.

As with all Atlantis cruises there is never a dress code, and no assigned dining times. Ever!
