About telegram.cruises

What this is

Every big gay cruise grows a Telegram group: a few hundred people comparing flights, arranging dinners, running a roll call, and working out who is in which bar on day three. The group is usually the single most useful thing you can join before sailing, and it is almost impossible to find. Its only address is a bare username, search engines have no reason to rank it, and the results that do rank are stale invite links from three years ago and accounts fishing for deposits.

So: one page per sailing, with the correct link on it.

What this is not

We are not a travel agency, a tour operator or a cruise line, and we are not connected to any of them. We take no bookings, sell no cabins, handle no money and earn no commission. Prices and itineraries shown here are copied from the operator's own public pages with the date we read them; book on the operator's site, and treat anything here that disagrees with them as our mistake.

How a link gets published

A group appears here only when its handle has been checked against Telegram itself and the check is recent; the date of that check is printed beside the link. If we cannot confirm a handle, the page says so and shows no button. Guessing a username is exactly how somebody ends up in an impostor's group, so we would rather publish nothing. Groups whose voyage has already sailed keep their page, as a record, with no link at all.

Adult content

These are adult communities and many of their rooms are named explicitly. The indexed pages list only ordinary room names; the full list for each group lives on its own noindex, age-labelled page, reached by choosing a link. More about that.

Corrections and removals

If a page here is wrong, out of date, or lists a group that would rather not be listed — including by the operator whose voyage it describes — tell us and we will fix or remove it. There is nothing to argue about; the site is only useful if it is right.
