Get ready to live your dream aboard the Panorama as you set sail on this all-gay private voyage filled with friends, fun, music and magic.
 Experience a harmonious balance between conventional cruising and private yachting, along with an exciting voyage
of discovery, unravelling the wonders of the Greek Isles. Each day you will discover a new port of call, a hidden cove
with crystal blue waters to cool you, a glimpse of ancient history to amaze you and rich cultural diversity to intrigue
you.
What's your pleasure?
Whether your passion is exploring the ancient secrets of the Acropolis, diving into the turquoise blue waters of the Aegean, or simply relaxing aboard your private yacht – it's your choice. Sailing aboard the Panorama is an intimate and luxurious experience, a truly unique way to explore the Greek Islands.
 You’ll feel like your sailing between heaven and earth when you sail into Mykonos and Santorini.
You’ll have plenty of time - two days - to explore everything Mykonos has to offer: beautiful people, world class shopping, vibrant nightlife, and world-famous gay beaches. Santorini is famous for its cliff hanging villages and stunning landscape. While some believe that Santorini is the remnant of the lost civilization of Atlantis, we say its absolute...paradise.
On this voyage you have freedom to be yourself. This is life as it should be!
We're OUT and PROUD! Openly Gay, Constantine Venetopoulos, part of the third generation of the founding family of Variety Cruises, and Craig Smith, openly gay owner of Source Events are proud to be hosting this voyage, and looking forward to meeting you. We're passionate about sailing the Greek Islands and excited about launching a new tradition of intimate gay voyages for our community.

Every morning you will find yourself on a different secluded island surrounded by the world's most famous beaches.
