LGBTQ Cruise Denied Entry to Egypt After Turkey Ban, Passengers Question Destination Choice
Following its exclusion from Turkey due to perceived incompatibility with societal values, an LGBTQ cruise was subsequently denied entry to Egypt. The operator, Atlantis Events, stated that official approval for the ship’s arrival in Alexandria was revoked just hours before docking, with no explanation provided. This marks a disappointing turn of events for Atlantis Events, which had previously docked in Egypt without issue on multiple occasions.
