Your Cruise Your Focus Diva representative will look after you from the moment you arrive at Venice cruise terminal to the moment you depart the ship with our hosted welcome drinks and farewell party, a great chance to meet and get to know our guests and to say your fond farewells on the final night! We have not chartered the entire ship; instead we are taking a group of women on a beautiful Mediterranean Cruise. A holiday where gay women can meet new friends, share a fantastic cruise experience and have a wonderfully relaxing holiday whilst visiting some of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Our group will meet each day for breakfast and dinner; with evenings spent at one of our hosted events or if you prefer you have all the on-board entertainment and facilities aboard ship at your disposal. During the full days at sea you can join our representative for some great activities on deck. For the remainder of your voyage the days will be taken up going ashore to explore the many sites on offer. You can take off on your own or join our group on one of the many organised excursions at each location. Please feel free to dip in and out of our events and dining times, whatever fits in best with your day. Pictures from our hosted group cruise in 2014
