Mr Gay Europe has announced the sixteenth edition of the Mr Gay Europe finals will take place on board an all-LGBTQ+ cruise spanning nine days in late summer 2026 alongside LGBTQ+ travel company, VACAYA.
In addition to enjoying an all-LGBTQ+ cruise experience, the public will really have the opportunity to get to know the finalists and the competition through several interactive challenges. In addition to enjoying the sun, parties, and entertainment onboard, Mr Gay Europe will be an integral part of the journey.
Randle Roper, Co-founder & CEO of VACAYA, said: “To say we’re thrilled to partner with Mr Gay Europe on this groundbreaking Med Cruise would be an understatement. This will be an epic adventure for all involved, spanning three countries and two continents, with a couple super exciting twists along the way. Stay tuned for more details next month!”
Tore Aasheim, Co-founder and Mr Gay Europe president says: “From the moment I first heard about VACAYA, I thought it would be amazing to be allowed to collaborate with such a concept. The Mr Gay Europe team is thrilled and excited to partner with VACAYA, and summer 2026 cannot come soon enough.”
Mr Gay Europe Tim Küsters will be an important part of the Mr Gay Europe team and he will tirelessly continue his campaign for better mental health in the LGBTQ+ community. He says: “I am really pleased to have VACAYA on board for this special 16th edition of Mr Gay Europe.
“As I continue my journey to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention in the LGBTQ+ community, I look forward to welcoming the new finalists in 2026 and hearing their stories. By the end of the nine-day cruise, we will know who will take over the title and become Europe’s LGBTQ+ ambassador.”
In 2025, Mr Gay Europe will return to Norway, and in 2025 a separate All-Star final will be organised with former participants where part of the first prize will be to be a presenter during the Mr Gay Europe 2026 cruise.
The cruise itself will have its own worldwide launch in September and then even more details will be revealed. As for the Mr Gay Europe 2025 All Star final, the invitations will be sent out to former participants during September. Stay tuned to www.myvacaya.com and www.mrgayeurope.com for more info.
