Easter Mediterranean Gay Group Cruise 2025
4 nights from/to Barcelona, Spain
April 11 15, 2025
Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas
In 2025, your Easter will be spectacular because you will spend it aboard the majestic Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas, on a four-night cruise through the Mediterranean Spain & France with our gay group. We will embark on April 11, 2025 in gay friendly Barcelona and, after a day of sailing, we will visit Marseille, France and Palma de Mallorca before returning to Barcelona. Enjoy all the fun and luxury of one of the largest ships in the world!
Enjoy unrivalled relaxation and entertainment onboard, taking your time to experience all the fabulous things your ship has to offer, from indulgent spa treatments to casinos, duty-free shops, world-class shows, adrenalin-fuelled sports and outstanding restaurants.
Set sail on a dream vacation to the best places to visit when you cruise the Mediterranean. Retrace history along Spain's coast, from the lives of world-famous artists to monasteries dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus.
The imaginary camaraderie between Picasso, Gaudi and Miro notwithstanding, the works of these men are a great way to add culture to your Spanish cruise. Visit Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral or Miro's "Woman and Birds" sculpture in Barcelona.
Take a stroll along La Rambla’s pedestrian boulevard to experience the city’s pure essence. Souvenir shops, street artists, flower stalls, sidewalk cafes and Catalan folk sardana dancers set a lively scene. Its marvelous centerpiece, La Catedral, dates from the 1200s— and its tower delivers sweeping views of medieval Barcelona.

Day 1 - Barcelona, Spain
It’s easy to see why gay friendly Barcelona is the most-visited city in Spain. As the capital of the country’s Catalonia region, this cityscape’s cultural mosaic pieces together a 2,000-year-old hodgepodge of sun-drenched beaches, cutting edge architecture, and a world-renowned dining and drinking scene. Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí left his modernist handprint all over the city, while medieval treasures linger in historic Gothic Quarter squares. Get lost in the whimsical gardens of Park Güell or savor a chef-led Catalan cooking class. Browse art collections dedicated to Picasso and Miro— or ride a cable car to the top of Montjuïc Hill, relishing citywide views along the way.
Day 2 - Fun Day at Sea!
Sit back, kick off your shoes and put your feet up during our 'at sea' days, where you can chill in the bar, lounge by the pool or enjoy a relaxing beauty treatment in the spa. Or if you’re feeling energetic, now’s the chance to explore all the amazing activities the ship has to offer, from spectacular, West-End-style entertainment to adrenalin-charged sports.
Day 3 - Provence (Marseille), France
France's oldest city, Marseille blends ancient charm with Provencal beauty. In the morning, head to the fish market Quai des Belges, where trade has been going on for more than 2,600 years — stroll along the promenades and 18th-century warehouses, and grab a cafe au lait and a melon tarte from one of the cafes on the ground floor. Cruise to Provence and check out the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde: Built in the 19th century in a neo-Byzantine style, its golden statue of the Virgin and Child dominates the Marseille skyline. Then, take in the modern architecture and Mediterranean cultural artifacts at the MuCEM art museum, or see the craggy limestone cliffs of Calanques National Park, a half-hour drive outside the city.
Day 4 - Palma de Mallorca, Spain The Spanish island of Mallorca offers towering mountains and dramatic cliffs rising over clear, blue water — but its hidden gem is Palma de Mallorca, the island's capital and largest city, where you'll find quaint historic streets, Gothic castles and gastronomic delights. Cruise to Palma de Mallorca and check out one-of-a-kind Palma Cathedral: The 14th-century Gothic spires of exterior contrast the modernist interior designed by in the early 1900s by Gaudi. See the circular courtyard and Arab-inspired arches of Castell de Bellver, and take in the fresh scent of the miles of pine forest that surround it. Or rent bikes and pedal east to Palma Beach, where you can soak in the sun on the white sands and clear waves.
Day 5 - Barcelona, Spain Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and is the second-largest city in Spain. Barcelona is also the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean coast. Rich in cultural heritage, Barcelona has a global reputation and is a major tourist destination. Famous attractions are the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech I Montaner, which have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city also boasts a lively and vibrant gay scene with LGBT+ individuals living openly and proudly. There is a plethora of gay bars, clubs and hotels and there is no shortage of fun to be had in Barcelona.
