A U.S. "love boat" with 710 gay men on board will dock in Busan Port at the southeastern tip of Korea, later this month.
According to the Busan Port Authority, Monday, Azamara Quest, the cruise ship, will arrive at 7 a.m. on March 22 and anchor in the international terminal.
All of the guests are homosexual men on a group tour organized by a U.S. travel agency.
From Busan, the 30,777-ton boat will travel to Hiroshima, Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong for 10 days.
The boat will stay about 10 hours in Busan, during which the guests will take a tour of the port city and travel to Millennium City in Gyeongju, before leaving for Japan at 5 p.m.
The boat is a six-star ultra-luxury cruise ship that belongs to Azamara, a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Cruises.
The boat has restaurants, theaters, a medical center and other amenities on board.
