WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlantis Events, Inc., the world's largest company specializing in all-gay and lesbian vacations, is offering guests on the first ever gay cruise to mainland China, South Korea and Japan a special roundtrip airfare of only $399*. These fares are good between any continental U.S. or Canadian city arriving in Shanghai and departing Hong Kong. Customers who book any outside or balcony stateroom by Jan. 12, 2010 can take advantage of this exclusive promotion.

Based in West Hollywood, Calif., Atlantis charters entire cruise ships and all-inclusive resorts for the exclusive use of its gay and lesbian guests. Then it completely customizes the experience with unique and diverse entertainment, special parties and activities, and teams of talented hosts. Since 1991, Atlantis has hosted over 120,000 guests on more than 100 different cruise, resort and tour experiences around the world.

Last year's first-ever Asia cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore sold out in record time. "Our first all-gay Asia cruise was such an incredible success that we've created a brand new sailing experience to complement the original itinerary, this time visiting the most beautiful cities in northern Asia," said Rich Campbell, Atlantis CEO.

Atlantis' newest cruise sails from Shanghai, home to Expo 2010, on March 20, 2010, on the five-star, 684-passenger Azamara Quest. The 10-day cruise will make stops in Busan, South Korea; Hiroshima, Osaka, and Kagoshima, Japan; Taipei, Taiwan; and Hong Kong. The cruise will overnight in Osaka allowing guests ample time to visit Kyoto, a city filled with thousands of temples, gardens, palaces and cherry blossoms. There's also a long stay in Taipei, Taiwan's largest city with ancient temples, soaring skyscrapers and fantastic gay-friendly nightlife.

"Our 2009 Hong Kong to Singapore cruise was such a success that our guests asked for more exotic options to Asia, and we're thrilled to bring them this historic offering," said Campbell. "We're bringing all the camaraderie, entertainment and fun of an Atlantis cruise to some of the most intriguing and colorful destinations in the world."

Staterooms on the Shanghai to Hong Kong cruise start at just $1799**. Rates are per person based on double occupancy and include all of Azamara's deluxe accommodations and services in addition to Atlantis' signature entertainment, parties and activities.

Continuing the journey, Atlantis will also offer a new Hong Kong to Singapore cruise on the Azamara Quest.

This cruise includes a full overnight in fascinating Bangkok, one of the most vibrant and thriving cities on the planet.
