A celebratory documentary portrait of a gay cruise as a sanctuary where thousands of men find freedom, community, and authentic self-expression.

A cruise ship and 3,000 men – it is a universe without heteros and women that usually remains a mystery to the outside world. Once a year the Dream Boat sets sail for a cruise exclusively for gay men where most passengers are united by the wish to live life authentically as themselves in a protected place.
