Spring is just around the corner, and the time to plan your summer escapade has arrived! We’ve got 10 great summer gay vacations lined up. Take one or take them all, knowing we can help you let loose and live the fanciest life you can wherever the sun is shining!
10. Board a gay cruise that circumnavigates Iceland
Unveil thundering waterfalls, quaint coastal villages, and towering fjords on a stylish gay cruise that circumnavigates the entire island. Cross the Arctic Circle, marvel at puffin-filled cliffs, and explore epic locales that many never get to see. From lava fields to glistening glaciers, this all-encompassing cruise features fire, ice, and fabulous gay camaraderie!
Our Iceland: Gay Cruise & Expedition departs in July 2027.
9. Taste la dolce vita in Italy
This tour tackles the best of Northern Italy. From cosmopolitan Milan, through Florence and Lake Como, then finally to Rome. Browse the wares in one of the world’s oldest shopping malls, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Sip an Aperol Spritz among glamorous resort town dwellers and savour risotto on a working rice farm. See The Statue of David in all his girthy glory. And finally visit the iconic Colosseum where gladiators duelled to the death. This summer LGBTQ+ tour is also perfect for pizza lovers!
Our Italy: Milan to Rome tour departs in June.
8. Join our most popular cruise along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast
Year after year, travellers come back for this taste of paradise. You’ll board a pristine white yacht (with none of those nefarious White Lotus gays) to enjoy daily swim stops, multi-course lunches aboard and tantalizing dinners in sublime locales. It’s glamorous and historic. Beautiful and sunny. And somehow…it’s still laid back.
Our Croatia: Gay Dalmatia Cruise departs in July. Space is limited so book ASAP!
7. Enjoy a sweaty scamper through the Balkans
There’ll be picnics. There’ll be white water rafting. There may even be bears (not the gay kind – well, maybe). This tour is a great way to merge the historic beauty of western Europe with an active, outdoorsy adventure. Best of all you can pair it with our Dalmatian Coast Cruise for a summer gay vacation that’s twice as long and fancy as a double-wide in a Palm Springs trailer park.
This hiking tour through Montenegro and Albania departs in July.
6. Visit 5 spectacular Spanish cities in 1 amazing trip
Discover the royal heritage of Madrid, the fiery passion of Sevilla, and the architectural masterpieces of Barcelona on our LGBTQ+ tour of Spain’s most iconic spots. Relish mouthwatering cuisine in Córdoba and unveil the history of Granada’s sprawling hilltop fortress of Alhambra while indulging in nightlife that redefines the meaning of ‘fiesta!’
Head on over to the Spain: Madrid, Sevilla & Barcelona page to find out more.
5. Head to Kenya for a different kind of pride
The tents and lodges of Masai Mara National Reserve are exquisite places to slumber, dine, and louse about when you’re not seeking out the Big 5 game animals (lions, leopards, black rhinos, African bush elephants and African buffalo). Amidst our visits to both Amboseli National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve, there’ll be a boat ride on Lake Naivasha and a visit the home of Karen Blixen, who wrote Out of Africa.
Join us on safari every August.
4. Explore the ‘Wild West’ of Asia
Feel like a nomad as we travel by foot, camel and horseback through Mongolia. We’ve planned extraordinary hikes along with a few nights of camping in traditional gers (aka yurts). You’ll get to hear traditional folk music live, not to mention the tranquil sounds of Mongolia’s ‘singing’ sand dunes. The tour wraps up with the famed Golden Eagle Festival, a new tradition that flaunts one of the country’s oldest sports: Kazakh horseback falconry.
Join us for the Mongolia Golden Eagle Festival in September.
3. See the highs and lows of Peru
This tour pairs Peru’s two extremes. After landing in the capital city Lima, we venture deep into the Amazon Jungle and check into a favourite hotel of all the tours we offer. You’ll see an array of animals in their natural habitat including butterflies, colourful macaws and white-throated toucans. You’ll visit Cusco – South America’s oldest continually inhabited city – then wrap things up in Machu Picchu, the world-famous Incan citadel.
We head into the Amazon and up to Machu Picchu in September (and in April if you’re looking for a non-summer departure).
2. Save a horse, ride a camel… on a trip to Morocco
This tour kicks off in Casablanca, which is as beautiful as it sounds. From here we head towards Chefchaouen – aka The Blue City – where you can marvel at Africa’s largest mosque. You’ll also get to wander traditional medinas, haggle with street vendors and enjoy a home-cooked meal with a local family. The highlight of this tour, however, is when we saddle up for a camel convoy into the desert and spend the night in traditional Berber tents. How’s that for a summer gay vacation?!?
Join us in September on this Moroccan odyssey.
1. Start your summer in Colombia
This tour is perfect to kick-start your summer! Highlights include the bustling capital of Bogotá, where you can party in one of the biggest gay clubs on Earth. How’s that for a vacation highlight?! We’ll then spend a few days in the colourful seaside city of Cartagena before wrapping up the tour in gorgeous Medellín.
Join us in Colombia this May.
