VACATIONS, TOURS & CRUISES
In the Vacations, Tours & Cruises section we offer two ways to find that all gay cruise or tour or gay-vacation package that you are looking. You can use the Trip Selector. You’ll see that there are 3 drop down menus that help you to refine your search. Select any one or more of the 3 criteria and then click "go!"
- Where (select your destination)
- When (select the month and year)
- How (select from adventure travel, cruises, packages, tours or resorts)
The Search Tool will give you a list of trips that meet your criteria, helping you to find the gay or lesbian vacation that is just right for you. Now that you see that trip of your dreams, you can either send in an email inquiry or call 1-800-GAY-TRAVEL. Your emails and calls will be routed to the Gay-Friendly Travel Agent located close to you.
Now if cost is your primary focus and you are on a budget, you can just search our Steals & Deals. On the other hand, if it's time to splurge, then click on our Featured Trips link. If you still don't see that perfect getaway, check out our list of Gay Friendly Travel Agents; they’ll design a trip to meet your exact specifications.
