Los Angeles, CA - Atlantis Events, Inc., the largest gay vacation company in the world, will once again be the first and only company - gay or straight - to charter the world's largest cruise ship. With an expected 5,400 gay and lesbian guests from 32 countries, Atlantis will host the largest gay cruise in history.
Chartering the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas for the second time, Atlantis Events' most extravagant cruise adventure to date will begin January 29, 2012 in Ft. Lauderdale, sailing to the powder white shores of Cozumel, historic ruins of Costa Maya, and the stunning private beach of Labadee, Hispaniola. Atlantis Events will exceed expectations on its return to the Allure with a fantastic new experience featuring superstar entertainment, elaborate party productions, and innovative social experiences in 2012.
"We're completely reinventing the gay cruise on the world's most magnificent ship," says Atlantis Events CEO Rich Campbell. "In the last 20 years we've had the opportunity to create truly magical and extraordinary experiences for our community and the Allure presents a unique opportunity to take this to an entirely new level."
Over the last twenty-one years, Atlantis has become the leader in gay vacations by chartering the world's finest ships and customizing each cruise with first-class entertainment and spectacular parties for more than 20,000 guests every year. One of the most unique aspects of the Atlantis experience is the on-board community that encourages guests to connect with others from around the world and establish lasting friendships.
Guests have already begun to meet and discover friends months before the cruise on Facebook at www.facebook.com/atlantisevents
Atlantis promises to outdo itself on the January 29th 2012 cruise, with a tremendous lineup of world-class entertainment including performances by leading entertainers. Earlier this year, Atlantis' first sold-out Allure voyage had captivating performances by the likes of television and Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson, Erasure's lead singer Andy Bell, comedienne Pam Ann, and a staging of the Tony Award-winning musical Chicago. With four large-scale performance venues, including the unique outdoor AquaTheater, there's something for every taste. An all-star line-up of featured DJ's will be revealed soon to headline their sensational parties.
