Bigger. Newer. Cheaper. Atlantis biggest party of the year takes a new direction in 2009 as we sail the spectacular 3200-passenger Mariner of the Seas from Los Angeles to the best of Mexico. Sail our classic itinerary on a bold new ship, featuring an indoor ice rink, massive sports deck, endless outdoor spaces, and so much more. All from convenient LA to the best beaches in Mexico, starting at just $949!

There’s no better ship for an all-gay cruise than the Mariner of the Seas, the largest ship to sail the Pacific. Designed for adventure and excitement with some of the most amazing features ever seen on a ship – a rock-climbing wall, in-line skating track, and ice-skating rink. There’s a five-story theater, an authentic 50’s diner, a world-class casino, a spectacular three-story restaurant, and an indoor promenade the length of two football fields! Our 138,000-ton nautical wonder has it all, and all of it ours for a complete reinvention of our most popular cruise of the year.

The Best in the West

Our custom itinerary takes you to Mexico’s most alluring beach cities and resorts. Captivating, gay-friendly Puerto Vallarta charms with a wealth of natural beauty, with plenty of time to enjoy the incomparable gay nightlife during our overnight visit. Mazatlan’s colonial streets are perfect for afternoon shopping. Dive, fish, or snorkel in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, or relax on an uninhabited beach. There’s plenty of time to experience it all, and three magical relaxing days at sea to enjoy Atlantis endless onboard activities and entertainment.

New Ways to Play

Welcome to our floating city of entertainment, featuring the most variety Atlantis has ever offered! It all starts with our signature comedians, hypnotist, singers, and more in the three-story theater. Add some special guest stars (past years featured Deborah Cox, Patti Lupone, Roseanne, Jennifer Hudson, Chita Rivera, and Joan Rivers), and our exciting new performers to create a legendary week. Take in a concert in Studio B – a setting unlike any other at sea. There’s even a parade or two in the Royal Promenade, and a fantastic ice-skating show that redefines cruise ship entertainment.

And that’s just the beginning. Throughout the cruise, our original piano bar entertainers, gay musical stars, up-an-coming cabaret acts, and more will entertain you in new and imaginative ways. Try your luck in the casino, watch a film in the cinema, or just enjoy a drink with friends in the Royal Promenade. The options are endless and the choices are easy.

More Places and More Parties

Dance into the Pacific twilight at our themed outdoor T-dances. Revel under the stars as we turn Mariner’s wide-open decks into the largest outdoor nightclub at sea. Our outrageous productions feature concert sound, massive light and laser shows, special guests, and the friendliest crowd you’ve ever seen. We feature the talents of superstar DJs such as Manny Lehman, Warren Gluck, Paul Goodyear, Brett Henrichsen, Wayne G. and more. In addition, we’ll host parties featuring Classic Disco, top hits from the 80s, great divas from the 90s, and so much more.

Some nights we’ll even turn Studio B into a remarkable themed party space. Or invite you to explore a wide range of alternative musical styles in our state of the art nightclub.

Our Friendliest Cruise and Our Best Value

No matter where you come from, or what your interests are, Atlantis creates a friendly all-gay environment that will make you feel right at home. We create an all-gay community where everyone is welcome: old and young, singles and couples, active and relaxed. With 3200 guests onboard, you’re certain to make new friends from all over the planet.

Best of all, we’ve been able to lower our rates for 2009 in virtually every category making this our most affordable cruise in years. Rooms start at just $949 per person, with a wide variety of options for every budget. Our last three Mexico cruises sold out in record time, so don’t delay.

We invite you to join us on the largest ship ever to sail the Pacific – our new home for Atlantis’ friendliest cruise of the year. Easier, bigger, and more fun than ever. Now that’s the way we play.

Excitement, and Unexpected Adventure

Where do you begin? When you step aboard Mariner, you’ll discover a unique world designed for your pleasure, filled with possibilities for the greatest gay cruise in the world. Stroll along the Royal Promenade, a street filled with shops, cafes, and places to relax. Of course we’ll turn it into the world’s friendliest gay street. All of this is a prelude to the acres of beautiful open decks surrounded by sparking pools, a peaceful solarium, inviting hot tubs, and sensational places enjoy the warm pacific breezes and unforgettable sunsets.

Have you ever climbed a simulated mountain, 150 feet above the sea? Or hit the ice and let your inner skater shine as we sail through Mexico. Join a game of volleyball, basketball, or golf in Adventure Beach. Rollerblade along the in-line skating track, or take a jog around the spacious decks.

Get a real work out in at the largest and most complete fitness center at sea (yes, even by gay standards). Featuring classes from yoga to spinning with expert instruction. Afterwards, unwind with a pampering treatment in the full-service two-story spa. And that’s just the beginning.

Meals that Shine

From the sparkling crystal chandeliers in the majestic three-story main restaurant to the intimacy of room service on your private balcony, Mariner offers a myriad of exciting dining options. Six tempting venues invite you to dine, relax, and socialize with friend old and new. Enjoy a spectacularly friendly experience in the main restaurant with open seating and no assigned dining times. You’re welcome to dine whenever you please, with whom you want to, creating the perfect setting to visit with friends old and new. As with all Atlantis cruises, there’s never a dress code, or formal nights.

For a more intimate dinner, try our Italian specialities at Portofino or a premium-grilled steak at Chops Grille. Both offer reservations-only service in an elegant, relaxed setting, perfect for a romantic evening, a first date, or celebration with friends.

The spacious Windjammer Café is perfect for a casual meal or quick bite, with a wide range of western and Asian specialties. Perk up with Seattle’s Best Coffee. Share a glass of wine with friends at Vintages wine bar. Grab a burger at Johnny Rockets, our authentic 50s style diner. Or relax in the comfort of your stateroom, with complimentary 24-hour room service.

Staterooms are large and comfortable, with sitting areas, and most feature private balconies. All are furnished with full bathrooms, satellite TV, and telephone. Our suites are truly spectacular, featuring large balconies, stunning décor, and a private concierge to take care of your every whim.
