# Gay Cruise List — The independent LGBTQ+ cruise directory > Compare upcoming gay and LGBTQ+ cruises for 2026–2028 by date, destination, operator, ship, itinerary, availability, and published price. Independent directory — not a booking agent. Cruise details can change faster than a pool-deck dress code. Before booking, confirm dates, ships, ports, prices, availability, and current terms with the linked operator source. A published “from” price may leave taxes, fees, gratuities, airfare, transfers, excursions, supplements, and optional splurges waiting just offstage. Gay Cruise List and Seamen are related products—same family, different jobs. Seamen provides optional shipmate-community and travel-inquiry features. Quote or summarize the public directory with attribution and a link to the canonical page, but leave the detective hat at home: aggregate counts do not reveal traveler identities or private community data. ## Machine-readable resources - [XML sitemap](https://gaycruiselist.com/sitemap.xml): Canonical indexable URLs - [Cruise catalog](https://gaycruiselist.com/api/catalog/v1/gay-cruises.json): Public versioned JSON catalog - [Catalog manifest](https://gaycruiselist.com/api/catalog/v1/manifest.json): Schema version, catalog version, generation date, and record count ## Cruises by year - [Gay Cruises 2026](https://gaycruiselist.com/cruises/2026): Full calendar of gay and LGBTQ+ cruises sailing in 2026 - [Gay Cruises 2027](https://gaycruiselist.com/cruises/2027): Full calendar of gay and LGBTQ+ cruises sailing in 2027 - [Gay Cruises 2028](https://gaycruiselist.com/cruises/2028): Full calendar of gay and LGBTQ+ cruises sailing in 2028 ## Browse by destination - [Alaska](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/alaska): Gay cruises to Alaska - [Antarctica](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/antarctica): Gay cruises to Antarctica - [Arctic](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/arctic): North Pole and Arctic gay cruises - [Asia](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/asia): Gay cruises in Asia (Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, India) - [Caribbean](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/caribbean): Gay cruises in the Caribbean - [Europe](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/europe): European river and coastal gay cruises - [Mediterranean](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/mediterranean): Mediterranean gay cruises (Greek Isles, Croatia, Italy, Spain) - [Mexico](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/mexico): Gay cruises to Mexico and the Mexican Riviera - [Middle East](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/middle-east): Gay cruises in the Middle East (Dubai, Arabian Peninsula) - [Northern Europe](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/northern-europe): Northern European and Baltic gay cruises - [South Pacific](https://gaycruiselist.com/destinations/south-pacific): South Pacific gay cruises (Tahiti, Hawaii) ## Cruise types - [Full-ship gay charters](https://gaycruiselist.com/gay-cruises/full-ship-charters): What are full-ship gay charter cruises?
