Popular LGBTQ-friendly travel destinations

The best part about cruising is visiting several new destinations during the same trip, and making new friends along the way.

If you already know which trip you’d like to book, start HERE. The large cruise ships feature live music, comedy shows, and lively deck parties. Over 99% of our guests book using our online reservations system. Source Journeys actively supports a range of LGBTQ+ and human rights organizations, including The StandUp Foundation, American Fondouk, the National LGBTQ Task Force, and the Human Rights Campaign.

We’ll return to standard hours on Monday, Jan 5. Also, pack for different occasions, including formal dinners, pool parties, and shore excursions. Cruisers can take a refreshing dip, enjoy a treatment at the onboard spa, or unwind with a drink in one of the ship’s lounges. Joyous Kwanzaa! Onboard entertainment includes cabaret-style shows, comedy acts, costume parties, and live music.

With such a full schedule of onboard activities, these cruises tend to focus more on community and fun than on destination exploration. Their boats are small — with the largest carrying only 40 people — but that also means they can dock in places where larger cruise ships can’t.

Atlantis typically hosts four to five events each year, from early February through October, so act fast to reserve your spot on board.

2: VACAYA

Created by Randle Roper, Patrick Gunn, and John Finen in 2017, VACAYA is another popular cruise line that welcomes travelers across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and they also host welcome events on the first day for you to meet new people to hang out with throughout the trip — a big plus for solo cruisers.

Their cruise list is extensive, with trips to almost every continent on Earth, from Brazil to Cambodia and Morocco. My work has been featured on Yahoo, Digital Journal, HubSpot, The World and Then Some, Elle Decor Magazine, Bucket List Journey, and more. Of course, drink responsibly, and if you engage in sexual activity, be sure to practice safe sex by using protection.

Don’t worry if you’re traveling alone — nearly half of all Atlantis guests are single. Happy New Year! I graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and from Columbia University with a master’s degree in digital marketing. Happy Hanukkah! There are plenty of gay-friendly bars to choose from on this lively island.
