Our ship: Vasco da Gama
Herstory
In 2019, Vasco da Gama, formerly Pacific Eden, returned to her home in Europe, where she was commissioned as Statendam by Holland-America Line in 1993.
She combines the Portuguese explorer tradition with the demands of today’s cruise guests: a wide range of different bars and restaurants in an exclusive setting, lots of public space with a modern interior, and tasteful design elements.
On board, you’ll find a full range of equipment for spa, fitness, and your personal leisure activities. You won’t find any other comparable cruise ship of this size on the market offering such good value for money. The personal atmosphere on board due to the manageable number of guests is key to the sense of well-being.
The Highlights
Oasis Pool: At aft on Deck 10, this pool really is an oasis by day, with a wonderful sea view and fresh breeze, teak-wood deck, and super comfy loungers. At dusk, it will be transformed into the perfect space for our parties.
Lido: hot tubs and heated main pool that thanks to the flexible panorama glass sliding roof, can be used throughout the year.
Dinner: Stylish evening meals with flexible times and open seating at the Mediterranean, Asian Fusion, or Club Bistro. And for a little extra The Grill, a top-quality steakhouse.
Spa & Wellness includes a sauna, steam bath, and a Gym open 24 hours with 11 spinning bikes, 5 steppers, 7 treadmills, 5 seated bikes, 14 weight machines, 2 rowing machines, and a large selection of free weights.

The cruise we’ve dreamed of.
Clothing-optional deck
Nothing beats the freedom of being naked while cruising. Feeling the sea breeze all over your body. It’s a very private and secluded area, perfect for sunbathing au naturel. Naturist is your lifestyle? Then see you at the Sports Deck, or is it D*** Deck? 🙂
#TeamAll-Gay 🏳️🌈
We are so proud to be teaming up with the newest European gay cruise, based in Berlin. Like we did on our very first cruise in 2008 with Atlantis, where we hosted and managed the Bear neighborhood, with 250 bears, chasers, daddies, and chubs. How many will we be on board this time?
Our parties
Is there a better way to start a gay cruise than to experience the Eurovision Song Contest live on board with men from all over? Day 1. Category is: Your flag. Let your imagination free with these other themes: Day 2 Drag Bear, 3 In the Navy, 4 Fluor Construction, 5 Rugby Club, 6 Hot-n-Sexy, and 7 White.
