New app allows queer travelers to connect on cruises
The longtime hub for LGBTQ+ cruise ship aficionados has launched a free app to make it easier for travelers to connect.
MeetMeOnBoard, the longtime hub for LGBTQ+ cruise ship aficionados, has launched a free app to make it easier for travelers to plan, research, and connect with other queer people on board.
“MeetMeOnBoard is thrilled to provide queer travelers a way to book cruises, coordinate trips and connect before, during, and after their cruise. We hope it will become their go-to LGBTQ+ resource for all of their future cruises, and we can’t wait to meet them on board soon!“ Adam Martindale, a cruise veteran with over 30 years of experience in the travel industry and the site’s new owner, told GayCities.
While the app allows travelers to find and connect, both onboard and before they set sail, it’s not a Grindr-style setup. The family-friendly service allows cruisers to make meaningful and fun connections, but that’s only part of the capabilities.

VACAYA is attempting to rewrite the script on LGBTQ+ group travel. GayCities sent a solo traveler to see if they’re succeeding.
Users can research upcoming cruises and the company’s commitment to fostering inclusive environments on board. They can also create custom events to allow other passengers to meet during the cruise. A community forum can help answer users’ questions.
“Our app represents a pivotal moment for LGBTQ+ travelers, offering unprecedented connectivity and community,” Martindale added.
Download the MeetMeOnBoard app in the Apple App Store and on Google Play.
