5 LGBT winter travel picks for 2015

Auckland to Sydney

Atlantis Event’s Auckland to Sydney cruise is not only a great way to experience some of the best locations in New Zealand and Australia, it also includes the opportunity to attend one of the world’s largest LGBT celebrations — Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Departing Auckland via Holland America Oosterdam, on Feb. 24, the cruise will visit four additional cities  in New Zealand (Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin), and then sail to Australia, stopping in Melbourne and ending in Sydney, on March 8. The ship will be docked in Sydney for two days during the height of the city’s Mardi Gras celebration. Check out atlantisevents.com.
