When you Cruise, You Never Lose with Two Bad Tourists

Hop aboard the Barcelona to Cannes, Rome & More cruise to see three of Europe’s most beloved countries in just one week! Virgin Voyages isn’t just gay-friendly, they are gay-loving, and they’ve invited us to be your hosts as we set sail from Barcelona on June 22-29, 2025. We’ll hang out at France’s playground of the rich, Cannes, before sliding across to the snow-capped mountains of Marina di Carrara in Italy. From there, it's down to Civitavecchia, better known as the closest port to the legendary Eternal City itself, Rome. Finally, our Mediterranean adventure ends with an overnight stay at the party island of Ibiza, the island that never sleeps, before looping back to Barcelona. Our vessel, the Scarlet Lady, is one diva of a ship, so expect themed parties, group dinners, shore excursions, private events, drag shows, other live entertainment, and more. Cruising has never been so fun!

Life’s a Beach – Top 10 Gay Nude Beaches Around the World

A good beach ignites all the senses: the feel of the warm sun caressing your skin with the golden sand beneath your toes, the gentle lull of the waves serenading your ears, and – with any luck – some tanned eye candy lying nearby. Clothes – even your best speedos – can only get in the way. Not to mention, swimming in the ocean naked just feels right – if you can get over the irrational fear a big fish might take a bite of your tackle that is. Just like bodies, naked gay beaches come in all shapes and sizes, as well as different levels of seclusion. We look at an eclectic mix of ten of the best around the world, where bodies of all persuasions are welcomed with open arms and bare chests.

Gay Travel Guide to Nice

In recent years Nice has rapidly become the second most gay-friendly city in France, only behind Paris. While larger cities like Montpellier, Lyon and Marseille have a prominent LGBTQ+ community, Nice now offers more gay-specific venues and perhaps a friendlier and more welcoming atmosphere. With numerous LGBTQ+-oriented events like the annual gay pride, the new Queernaval, LGBTQ+ film festivals and more, Nice is one of the newest gay hotspots on the Mediterranean.
