As gays, we love a good pole.
Especially one that points north.
Also, we love to cruise.
Especially with a couple hundred men.
So, direct to the top of our wish list goes VACAYA’s latest groundbreaking (and ice-breaking) full-ship charter: The North Pole Expedition 2028.
Start saving up now because this once-in-a-lifetime LGBTQ-+ sailing isn’t the cheap kind of cruise Kathie Lee Gifford sang about.
Prices range from $31,000 to $99,000 per person for double occupancy staterooms and suites, but if you start saving a couple grand a month now, it can be pretty much paid for by the sailing from August 5-17, 2028.
That’s our monthly Tito’s budget, so maybe we’ll be able to make it on board ourselves with a little willpower.
The small-but-mighty PONANT Le Commandant Charcot accommodates up to 245 guests, so chances are high you’ll get to know nearly everyone on board the only passenger ship in the world capable of reaching the geographical North Pole.
Ignore the risk of shrinkage and take a polar plunge. Pretend you’re in a Coca-Cola holiday commercial and gaze at polar bears. And maybe, just maybe, discover where Santa and his elves gather in a big circle, move their hands up and down, and smile really big because—they’re making toys.
So many bucket-list adventures await at the North Pole, the travel destination so exclusive, a mere 0.0006% of humanity has ever been there.
We know this vacation’s out of reach for most of us, but if you’re lucky enough to find a sugar daddy whose last name isn’t Claus (or maybe it is), or win the lottery between now and August 2028, we’d be oh-so-jealous but also happy to know you’re making history as one of the even fewer LGBTQ+ people to ever set foot at the top of Planet Earth.
Maybe get in line at Macy’s now to be first this year to whisper your wish list to the jolliest butch bear of all time.
He’ll be waiting for you.
