Greetings LGBT Travelers!

It’s calling you . . . you can almost hear it. It starts as a tickle in the back of your brain; that elusive feeling that you remember from childhood. It’s Summer and time to go Back to the Beach. We’re definitely leaving Frankie and Annette behind - this is Luxury from start to finish. Hawaii and Florida feature prominently in these beachy plans, with a little European flair thrown in for good measure. So grab those Prada sandals and that Gucci swimsuit and get ready to hit the sand in style – because life is a vacation!

Luxury Hawaiian Gay Group CruiseLuxury Hawaiian Gay Group Cruise
Experience a unique luxury yacht adventure in America's very own tropical isles. On this exploration you'll see five islands, plus one tiny islet as you enjoy adventures both in the water and on land. And no worries about inter-island flights, packing and unpacking, and transfers! Each day's itinerary is flexible; whales, wildlife and whimsy all have a part to play. No bee-lining from port to port or place to place. The relatively small size of the ship enables it to go where big ships can't!

Throughout the experience, this yacht cruise will seek out an earlier Hawaii of graceful cultural traditions and pristine natural beauty. Local experts on board tell tales of Hawaiian royalty or speak of the early navigators and embody the Hawaii Aloha spirit. During tours ashore our transport is always exclusive, reserved for you and fellow yachtmates. Everything is included on this cruise. From your arrival at the airport to a fond farewell, you're a pampered guest aboard the Safari Explorer.

Editor's Travel TipsEDITOR'S TRAVEL TIPS
Headed to the beach? Don't forget to take your vitamin E. Studies have shown that Vitamin E can be effective in reducing acute and chronic ultraviolet-induced skin damage (that’s sunburn, to you and me!) In fact, scientists have found that the protective qualities of vitamin E can last up to 2 or 3 days. Look for sunscreens and after-sun products that include vitamin E, as well as the vitamin pill form to help prevent aging and keeping your skin looking its best on those tropical vacations.
