VACAYA Difference

VACAYA is a fresh new approach to LGBT travel, one focused entirely on you! We charter entire ships and resorts, so LGBT+ travelers have the freedom to express their individuality, make personal connections, celebrate life, rev up, or simply relax… together.

We’re focusing on creating memorable travel experiences to new destinations, with customized itineraries that haven’t been offered previously by other vacation companies. It all started with our Inaugural Cruise to Ptown in 2019 and continues with never-before-seen all-LGBT+ itineraries like our first winter escape Caribbean Cruise on Celebrity Summit Feb 13-20, 2021 from San Juan. We’re also offering the first ever New Orleans River Cruise by an LGBT charter company Nov 14-22, 2021 and the first circumnavigation of Iceland on our Summer in Iceland Cruise Sep 1-8, 2021. And after completely breaking the mold for all-inclusive resort vacations, we’re returning to the 5-star Leading Hotels of the World’s UNICO Riviera Maya Oct 4-10, 2020.

We certainly love a great party and will produce some of the best parties at sea, but our focus won’t be on all-night ragers every night of your holiday. VACAYA is about discovering magical textures, tastes, smells, sites, and sounds of lands near and far… together. Sailing the seven seas or enjoying a resort that’s all ours is about the moments we spend connecting, laughing, and living life to the fullest. Its possibilities are endless and exciting, sensual, life-changing. These experiences open our minds, unify our rhythm, and bond us for life.

VACAYA’s commitment to giving back to the community is reflected in our mission to make a difference. To that end, there are two distinct ways we’ll make an impact both locally and globally. First, by partnering with local organizations, VACAYA’s ReachOUT program will offer guests an opportunity during their vacation to give back to the communities visited – either with a bit of sweat equity or financially. Second, VACAYA’s Cabins for Causes program will donate cruise rooms to worthy causes. And the best part? We’ll let you help pick those organizations.

Having traveled to every corner of the globe, The Vacayans are your savvy companions and we understand what’s important to you – fun, friends, adventure, and clear timely communication, all cornerstones of any great vacation. Our mission is to provide you with all the tools you need to have a great time. After all, this is your vacation and it should be a stress-free experience. No worries. No concerns. Just ease at every turn. And that starts from the moment you book with VACAYA. Our state-of-the-art online reservations system is available to you 24/7, allowing you to book with us (and even pick your exact room!) at your convenience from your phone, tablet, or desktop from anywhere in the world! All at an incredible value that can’t be beaten in the LGBT travel industry.
