Atlantis Wins “Best All-Gay Cruises” and
“Best All-Gay Tour Operator” Awards in Consumer Survey
Only Two-time Gold Winner in Out Traveler’s 2005 Readers’ Choice Awards

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., October 26, 2005 – Atlantis Events, Inc., the world’s largest tour operator specializing in gay and lesbian vacations, was recently rated best-in-category for both “All-Gay Cruises” and “All-Gay Tour Operators” by the readers of Out Traveler magazine.

Out Traveler readers voted online for their all-time favorite hotels, cities, resorts, cruises, tours and events in the magazine’s first annual Readers’ Choice Awards.  Atlantis was the only two-time Gold Medal winner among all those honored in 2005.

“We’re honored to be recognized by the gay and lesbian traveling public as the leader in the all-gay cruise industry and as a tour operator,” said Rich Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantis.  “Atlantis has grown through the extraordinary support of our guests, and we pride ourselves on creating outstanding vacations for the community at an exceptional value.”

In 2006, Atlantis celebrates their 15th year in business with seven all-gay cruises to the destinations that the gay community desires most, including Carnival in Rio, the Eastern and Western Caribbean, Alaska, Barcelona to Venice, and the Mexican Riviera.  Its January 2006 sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas will be the largest all-gay cruise in history, with 3,200 guests. 

Atlantis also offers exceptional resort vacations under its Club Atlantis brand, creating an all-gay environment at world-class, all-inclusive resorts in sun-drenched Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Maya. It also produces several upscale tours, including an all-gay Kenya Safari.

In 2005, over 14,000 gay and lesbian guests traveled with Atlantis on their cruise, resort, and tour vacations. Reservations for all Atlantis programs are available through most travel agencies or directly from Atlantis at 1-800-6-ATLANTIS.  For detailed information, visit www.atlantisevents.com.
