All from convenient LA to the best beaches in Mexico, starting at just $999!

There’s no better ship for an all-gay cruise than the Mariner of the Seas, the largest ship to sail the Pacific, designed for adventure and excitement with some of the most amazing features ever seen on a ship – a rock-climbing wall, in-line skating track, and ice-skating rink. There’s a five-story theater, an authentic 50’s diner, a world-class casino, a spectacular three-story restaurant, and an indoor promenade the length of two football fields! Our 138,000-ton nautical wonder has it all, and all of it ours for a complete reinvention of our most popular cruise of the year.

The Best in the West

Our custom itinerary takes you to Mexico’s most alluring beach cities and resorts. Captivating, gay-friendly Puerto Vallarta charms with a wealth of natural beauty, with plenty of time to enjoy the incomparable gay nightlife during our overnight visit. Mazatlan’s colonial streets are perfect for afternoon shopping. Dive, fish, or snorkel in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, or relax on an uninhabited beach. There's plenty of time to experience it all, and three magical relaxing days at sea to enjoy Atlantis endless onboard activities and entertainment.

New Ways to Play

Welcome to our floating city of entertainment, featuring the most variety Atlantis has ever offered! It all starts with our signature comedians, hypnotist, singers, and more in the three-story theater. Add some special guest stars (past years featured Deborah Cox, Patti Lupone, Roseanne, Jennifer Hudson, Chita Rivera, and Joan Rivers), and our exciting new performers to create a legendary week. Take in a concert in Studio B – a setting unlike any other at sea. There’s even a parade or two in the Royal Promenade, and a fantastic ice-skating show that redefines cruise ship entertainment.

And that’s just the beginning. Throughout the cruise, our original piano bar entertainers, gay musical stars, up-an-coming cabaret acts, and more will entertain you in new and imaginative ways. Try your luck in the casino, watch a film in the cinema, or just enjoy a drink with friends in the Royal Promenade. The options are endless and the choices are easy.

More Places and More Parties

Atlantis 20th Anniversary Cruise

February 6 - 13, 2011

Departs Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Caribbean Islands

Website For Prices, Availability and More Information

The Atlantis Cruise. Reinvented.

The rumors are true and reality is even sweeter. In 2011, Atlantis will be the first company to charter the largest cruise ship ever built: the brand new Allure of the Seas. We’re celebrating 20 years of all-gay vacations with a remarkable cruise on the largest and most extravagant ship ever built. It won’t be like anything you’ve ever experienced before, and it will be unforgettable.

Take a look at the video on the right, browse our deckplans, and spend a few minutes on the RCCL site to get a preview of her. Finally, see below for answers to commonly asked questions about Allure and how Atlantis will create this fantastic cruise.

Allure is the sister to the groundbreaking Oasis of the Seas, first sailing in December 2010. She’s the largest ship ever built, at 220,000 tons and carrying over 5500 gay and lesbian guests from around the world. Our cruise will truly be a community of epic proportions. Royal Caribbean has created an excellent mini-site with video, photos, and stories about the Oasis and Allure ships. We recommend taking a look here: www.oasisoftheseas.com

Answers to Common Questions
Our cruise onboard Allure will be very different from past Atlantis cruises, with more entertainment and more diversity than anything we’ve ever created in the past. Here are a few answers to the questions we keep hearing:

How will we fit everyone in the Theater?
Simply put, we won’t. the main theater holds around 1500 guests and we’ll run at least 3 or 4 showings of every major show to accommodate all guests. There will be multiple shows running at any given moment in the theater, Studio B, and the AquaTheater. The Allure has a ticketing system to allow you to reserve your space effortlessly so you will always be guaranteed a seat. It’s a great system and works really, really well!

Where will the deck parties be held?
More great news! The Solarium at the front of the ship is one of the most perfect spaces for a party we’ve ever seen. Most of our parties will be held in that space, and a few indoor events will be in Studio B. The best part about the Solarium is that there are no staterooms below it (it’s the kids center), so we don’t anticipate any issues with noise.

We might try to hold a t-dance in the AquaTheater, but these would only be during the late afternoon. We are not planning any outdoor parties at night in either the Boardwalk or AquaTheater spaces at this time due to noise concerns.

What’s the AquaTheater?
It’s the most amazing space you’ve ever seen on a ship, composed of a massive water stage and pool surrounded by high-diving platforms. The Aqua Show was produced by the team that created “O” in Las Vegas and will amaze you. We’ll also likely use the space for a concert show. Many guests in Boardwalk rooms have fantastic balcony views of the shows!

Will there be a Headliner?
We’re still putting our entertainment plan together for the Allure and will probably not use a single “big name” as we’ve done in the past. It’s simple logistics, since we’d need to have them perform 4 shows and this is not likely to be feasible. That said, there is a full Broadway production onboard, the Aqua Show, and a flying show that is truly the largest show ever built on a ship. We’ll likely bring two or three amazing acts, plus a cadre of Atlantis favorites to celebrate our anniversary.

Why would I want a Central Park View?
Well, Central Park is one of the most beautiful spaces ever created on a ship with lush landscaping and subtle lighting at night. Depending on your taste, a view into the park is a welcome, mostly wind-free way to truly enjoy a balcony view at night. There’s always something to see, versus looking out into the darkness in the Ocean. Ultimately, it’s personal taste, but our team loved these rooms on our site visit.

Is the Boardwalk Noisy?
Once you close your stateroom door, you truly cannot hear the Boardwalk. We tested this out!

Why is this cruise more expensive than other Atlantis cruises?
Royal Caribbean spent $1.6 billion on building this ship… They have to get it back somehow! All kidding aside, it’s the newest, most advanced, and most spectacular ship ever built. That’s going to command a premium and our costs are a lot higher than our other cruises. Even so, our fares are still roughly the same as we charged for the Freedom of the Seas back in 2007. We think it’s still a great value for the experience.
