   SHIP INFORMATION

Navigator of the SeasWhen you step aboard Navigator, 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 two football fields long filled with shops, cafes, and places to relax. We'll turn it into the world's friendliest gay street. All of this is a prelude to the acres of beautiful open deck surrounded by sparking pools, a peaceful solarium, inviting hot tubs, and sensational places enjoy the summer sun and sparkling blue waters of the Med.

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 the Greek Isles. Join a game of volleyball, basketball, or golf the sports deck. Rollerblade along the in-line skating track, or take a jog around the massive 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. There's a full-service library, a cinema featuring some of the finest gay movies, and a large internet café. And that's just the beginning.

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.

As a major departure point for ships laden with French goods bound for all corners of globe, Marseilles has always had a unique international flavor. Stroll through the Vieux-Port to enjoy scenic views of the main harbor and the marina before settling down for a relaxing afternoon at one of the many cafes that line the waterfront.

Naples, Italy
The largest city in Southern Italy, Naples is an ideal gateway for exploring the many fascinating treasures that this region has to offer. Thirty minutes away, near the base of Mount Vesuvius, the vast ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii provide silent and awe-inspiring testimony to daily life for locals 2,000 years ago. Further down the Sorrento Peninsula you'll discover stunning views around every hairpin turn as you skirt the Amalfi Coast on your way to Positano and the other picturesque towns that line this route.

Mykonos, Greece
Quaint, whitewashed villages contrast with sexy, international beach crowds and a pulsing nightlife in Mykonos, one of the world's hottest gay destinations. Chora, the island's main town, is a tangle of twisted, cobblestone alleys that reveal a surprising range of interesting boutiques, galleries and restaurants. But Mykonos may be best known for its hot, hip beaches, and super-gay, Super Paradise beach on the island's eastern shore leads the pack. You'll have plenty of time to work on your tan and enjoy the scene before heading back into town for a sunset dinner at water's edge in the Little Venice quarter. Just save some energy for enjoying the vibrant nightlife that has made Mykonos a true international hotspot.

This island's capital of Thira is a maze of whitewashed buildings and narrow cobblestone streets atop a cliff hundreds of feet above the island's main port, where yachts and cruise ships anchor. Small, family-owned vineyards dot the center of the island. And for a romantic moment, head to the tiny town of Oia and watch the sky turn a dozen shades of pink and orange as the sun slowly drops over the horizon.
