The UK'S First Gay Cruise


Bookings are fast being taken for the UK 's very first gay cruise, an unmissable three day Spring Break from The Big Cruise.com, which is set to float the boat of all two tho USA nd of its fun-loving seamen aboard – whatever their size, shape, age or taste. Good time guys put it in your diaries now! Setting sail from Dover on 3 May 2007, The Big Cruise.com will offer all the service, style and entertainment of its American rivals, with the cheekiness of the UK club/bar scene and the added advantage of not having to fly half way round the world before the party even starts. For three days, the floating pleasure palace will follow the sun across the seas, while gorgeous guests can follow whatever they fancy. State of the art gyms, luxurious spas and saunas, plus three pool decks, shops galore and endless activities, mean there's plenty going on while the sun's up; while seven bars, three clubs and some of the funkiest DJ's, makes for even hotter nights. Dreamt up by the brains behind the entertainment of some of the world's biggest cruises, it's guaranteed to be a real party-fest with a wow factor that will turn the heads of even the most hardened of hedonists. When it comes to bunking down, there's something to suit all budgets with accommodation ranging from the cosy, inside staterooms through to the downright sexy Village Penthouses, an exclusive village of just twelve luxurious suites located right next to the pool deck, each boasting their own private balcony, floor to ceiling windows and optional butler service. Prices start at £39 per person per day, which includes all meals, snacks, soft drinks and all entertainment. Bar tabs are at a supplement but as sailing on international waters means no duty or VAT to be paid on alcohol, there's no need to hold back when it comes to getting into the party spirit, with cocktail classics starting from just £2.50, super-sized shots from £1.75 and beers at £1.90. Singles, couples - all are welcome, but with cabins sleeping up to three, booking as a group with a couple of friends as shipmates will make it even better value for money and three times the fun! That said, book as a single sailor and one can take full advantage of the single-mingle events and the not-to-be-missed speed-dating. Able seamen wanting to climb on board for the cruise of a lifetime, should visit http://www.thebigcruise.com/ .
