Travel Agency Announces Private Cruise Trips for Gay Individuals to Saudi Arabia
American cruise company Vakaia announced the launch of a cruise voyage in 2027 called "Arab Nights." The journey will depart from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and will include a route connecting Jeddah and Ain Sukhna in Egypt, with stops in Israel and Jordan. The cruise aims to revive history and offer participants an opportunity for exploration, although Saudi Arabia continues to apply Sharia law, which criminalizes same-sex relations, with warnings of punishments that could reach the death penalty—though no cases of such executions have been recorded in recent years. Laws and rights remain a subject of debate in the Kingdom, with human rights advocates warning of the marginalization faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
