The hot sun, refreshing vodka sodas, the smell of sunscreen, and the rhythmic sounds of fans clapping to the DJ’s beat. Where are you? Get out your speedos or your best evening attire because you’re on a gay cruise! Immerse yourself as you and your friends travel aboard the Grand Achilles cruise ship, which hops from one Mediterranean beach to the next and attracts LGBTQ+ travelers from all over the world for their popular gay cruises.

Whether it’s by the pool during the day or an evening soiree – the characters on this ship have brought way more baggage than any vacation should rightfully have. You know the sort… the trio of twinks that wish they were a duo, newlyweds who claim they’re “monogamous,” a “straight” guy who didn’t realize it was a gay cruise, and, of course, the circuit twunks who snuck in all the fun stuff. There’s also a whole host of crew members along for the ride as well – performers, chefs, a private masseuse, security, and of course, the sexy captain!

Don’t get too comfortable, though; the cruise (and cruising) screeches to a halt when a dead body is discovered, and foul play is suspected. As you work through the clues to uncover who could have done this, an intricate web of suspects and motives emerges. Folks have been busy on the cruise making friends (and enemies), reigniting past situationships, spreading gossip, and alienating crew members. Everyone is a suspect.

“Queer Cruisin: A Gay Cruise Murder Mystery“ is perfect for LGBTQ+ adults looking to unravel a murder mystery that is just as scandalous as they are. Will you be able to sleuth through the clues and uncover the murderer(s) amongst you? Maybe you’ll be the victim unabashedly murdered on vacation? Or maybe, just maybe, you’re the center of all the drama and need to hide your murderous motives from being discovered.

Either way, you and your guests are invited to Mingle and Murder aboard the Grand Achilles ship for “Queer Cruisin: A Gay Cruise Murder Mystery.”
