Since Antarctic expeditions began in 1820 with explorers Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, Mikhail Lazarev, and John Davis (who was the first person to step foot on Antarctica in 1821), never before has an all-LGBT+ expedition sailing taken place… until now.
Leading nearly 200 LGBT+ explorers, VACAYA boarded PONANT’s Le Boreal on December 7, 2022 in Ushuaia, Argentina and began the 2.5-day crossing of the Drake Passage, where the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans converge, creating the most treacherous waters on earth. At 5:12pm on December 10, 2022, The Vacayans (those who travel with VACAYA are known as “Vacayans”) stepped foot on “The Ice” in Neko Harbor, Antarctica – making history with the first successful all-LGBT+ expedition cruise to Antarctica.

The cruise line currently operates a fleet of 25 cruise ships, with each one of them hoisting the Pride Flag on their masts this month to celebrate LGBT Pride Month. Passengers returning from a week long gay cruise on board Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas have been detained as a result of President Trump’s Executive Order, which bans citizens of predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
