In company with the team of Milena Pleško and Aglaia
Milena Pleško, a matchmaker specializing in connecting singles, an expert in relationships and partnerships, and the owner of Agalaia, has been successfully organizing cruises for solo travelers and singles for several years.
As an experienced event organizer with a passion for socializing, she recognized the need among single gay individuals for a space where they can relax, have fun, and form genuine connections. Thus, she created an exceptionally luxurious and boutique mini-cruise around the stunning Dalmatian islands, where every guest can experience carefree exploration and bonding. A considerable amount of effort and heartfelt dedication has been invested in creating a space without prejudices, where everyone can feel accepted, valued, and, above all, free to be themselves. Agalaia brings together guys from different nations who seek to experience more than just a vacation.
The luxury of the mini-cruise awaits our intriguing guests with the finest cuisine at sea, attractive cabins, an inviting sun deck, and comfortable loungers for relaxation. It’s the perfect blend of intimacy and exoticism, yet spacious enough to be exhilarating! Some delightful cabins are still available, but reservations are filling up fast!
We are proud to be one of the few in the world offering this kind of experience, especially in this part of the world. This adds even more significance to our boutique cruise and exquisite cuisine as participants mingle in the crystal-clear sea. Our cruiser provides ample space for everyone, where you can easily find like-minded company or lose yourself in solitude on the sunny deck while enjoying a cocktail or beautiful music. In the evenings, you can join the socializing or venture out on your own to explore the charming small stone towns considered global gems.
A boutique cruise offers exceptional advantages as we have everything that large cruise ships offer, but being smaller, we provide more peace and intimacy. We can sail into the most beautiful coves known to the world, through crystal-clear waters and seafood delights. Join us on an unforgettable journey where carefree relaxation, entertainment, and genuine connections intertwine. Immerse yourself in our carefully planned hospitality and experience a cruise that will exceed all your expectations.
A programme, tailored to your wishes
We have prepared a programme for you created in such a way, that it can be adopted to your wishes. Your only task is to embark and to surrender to pampering, exploration, discovering and harmony. Eight full days with people, which are like you, open minded, thinking in a similar way and ready to make your acquaintance and to weave threads that will remain. Indulge yourself to the influence of the Dalmatian music, the infectious calmness of the locals and crystal sea will bring you there, where the fondest memories are written.
The program will be sports-cultural and above all fun.
You will admire the islands from the sea, but you will also be able to feel the pulse of them. You will explore them on your own, or you will join the sightseeing we are going to organise with the local tourist guides.
If you will not feel like exploring of the towns and their pulse, you will be able to relax on the spacious terrace, surrounded by sun rays or you will let your skin taste the salt and in this way cool off in the pleasant turquoise sea. Your wishes will serve as the map of the possibilities and in this way we will make your voyage unforgettable.

“Embarking on this cruise was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The blend of stunning
Dalmatian scenery and the camaraderie of like-minded individuals created an atmosphere of genuine
connection. Whether it was lounging on deck, participating in the Wet T-shirt contest (which was
hilariously fun), or sharing stories over the captain’s dinner, every moment felt like a cherished
memory in the making.”
“Exploring Dalmatian towns during the day and enjoying lively evening parties in town made each day feel vibrant and full of possibility. But it was during the Speed dating event that I met my partner. The cruise provided the perfect backdrop for us to get to know each other, and now we have these beautiful shared memories of our beginnings.”
“The Open Stage evening allowed me to showcase my hidden talents, which was such a liberating experience. From singing to dancing, everyone cheered each other on, creating an uplifting atmosphere of acceptance and support. It was here that I found the courage to truly be myself, and that’s a gift I’ll always cherish.”
“As someone who enjoys a bit of friendly competition, the sporty Beer-pong tournament was right up my alley. It was a fantastic way to bond with fellow cruisers while enjoying the beautiful weather and sea views. Plus, the laughter and camaraderie made every game feel like a victory, regardless of the score.”
Exploring Gay Cruises: An Insider’s Guide to Gay Maritime Adventures
Are you interested in gay cruises but don’t know how to decide? Are they open to everyone? Do they revolve around non-stop parties? And what about romance at sea? Don’t ask anymore. Let’s take a closer look.
I took a cruise with the ship operator Casanova on the ship Casanova, which sailed from Split, Dalmatia, Croatia. As a 35-year-old gay man, I went on this trip for the first time and with no cruise experience, I was new to gay cruises, so I had quite a few questions.
First and most important thing to know before you go on your first gay cruise:
1. Friendly faces everywhere: – From the very beginning, the atmosphere was infectious laughter and various interactions. Known for their openness, Dalmatians created an inviting atmosphere and great socializing.
2. Non-stop parties: Yes, the rumors are true – gay cruises mean non-stop revelry. From swimming parties in various crystal pools to themed shows, there’s entertainment for everyone who wants to socialize.
3. Embracing Sexual Freedom: Curious about romantic adventures on a ship? Although direct and public expression of sexuality was rare, it was very welcome and appreciated. Thanks to Aglaine’s clever wristband system – red for busy, yellow for maybe and green for available – consent was clear. And let’s not forget the nighttime “dark room” on the rooftop basketball court – an unspoken hot spot for intimate moments.
4. The crew is very friendly and sympathetic: If you are worried about the reaction of the crew, fear nothing. The staff, from various backgrounds, radiated warmth and acceptance throughout the trip. No judgement, even when a drunk gay guy showed up at the bar wearing nothing but his underwear. I’m not saying I was that guy.
5. Choose wisely: Not all gay cruises have the same destination. Exploration is key on this cruise. Whether you’re a young or a more mature enthusiast, you’ll find something for you on this cruise.
6. Socializing is important: To get the most out of your cruises, socialize, socialize. You can also take a moment for yourself and enjoy the beautiful Dalmatian islands.
7. Expensive pleasures: Prepare to splurge – gay cruises are more expensive. With top-notch entertainment and amenities, the experience is worth the investment.
8. Evening city visits: Expect everyone to go to the cities and sightseeing in the evening. Although there is a lot going on during the day, exploring the small stone Dalmatian towns and coast is very interesting and many people choose to do so.
9. Hygiene is important: Warning: safety is still a concern on board. Regular hand washing is recommended to maintain cleanliness and safety.
In conclusion: a gay cruise offers a liberating escape from everyday life. With LGBTQ+ rights facing challenges, these cruises serve as safe havens for gays to express themselves freely.
