CRUISES
Vancouver offers a series of LGBT specific cruises with specialty themes all summer long. Women can kick off Pride Weekend Friday night with a choice of cruises, whether on the Chicks Ahoy Boat Cruise on the Queen of Diamonds, or the Hot & Wet Women’s Pride Cruise aboard the M.V. Britannia. A great mix of everyone, but predominantly men cruise the waters Sunday on the CruiseyT Pride White Party Cruise aboard the M.V. Princess, or the Go-Go Cruise aboard the M.V. Britannia. All cruises include special guest DJ’s, full bar service, and some include special guest performances by local entertainers, female impersonators, and very reasonable dinner options. Many also wrap up Pride weekend and sail into the sunset on the CruiseyT Traditional Pride Party Cruise, Monday, August 2nd. Details and links on our What’s On Gay Special Events page:
