Cocking of cruise ship with LGBTQ+ travelers in Tangier raised critizism in so-called social media
The 'Celebrity Equinox', on a voyage organised for LGBTQ+ travelers, docked at the Port of Tangier on Aug 9, 2026, at around 7 a.m., making its first Moroccan port call during a Mediterranean tour. The vessel remained in Tangier for around nine hours, allowing passengers to explore the city, continuing a voyage organized by VACAYA. During the stopover, passengers visited several of Tangier’s main attractions, including the old medina, the Kasbah, Grand Socco and the city’s traditional markets. Some also spent time at local restaurants and cafés. Several so-called social media users, however, criticised the decision to allow the ship to dock in Tangier. Some compared Morocco’s position with that of Egypt and Turkey, which they said had previously refused to receive similar cruises. The Tangier stop formed part of VACAYA’s first Mediterranean cruise, which departed from Barcelona on August 6 and runs until Aug 15.
