The makers of the popular European lesbian party concept started offering tours not very long ago.
Currently, Ella Travel has different trips available which are all women-only. Groups are small and guided by Ella staff. We expect these tours to be awesome and well-designed and we hope to see the number of offered tours multiply over the next few years.
Some of the trips last only a fe days, while others last for one or two weeks!
You can check the different trips on their website. But hurry, because they sell out fast.
Women overlanding the world is the brainchild of the Vagabroads ladies, who overlanded a large part of the world on their own.
After their adventure, they published the book: I can, I will. This book is all about the empowerment of women and it tells the different stories of strong women overcoming fear and judgement.
Now, they run a travel agency for women. It’s not just for lesbian women, but we mention it here, because the tour agency is run by lesbian owners.
Check out their different trips and if you want to join a trip: be quick! They sell out super fast!
New Zealand is a great LGBT+ travel destination and the country has a very open attitude towards diversity. The tour company, New Zealand Awaits is operated by travelers, for travelers.
The travel agency caters tours for their customers and they include LGBTQ specific activities into their trips.
You can either join one of their New Zealand tours with a group, but you can also have a private tour catered for you or have them plan your individual trip.
Check out their trips on their website. They have quite a few options available!
Diva Destinations is a UK based travel agency which focuses on LGBTQ+ travel.

They have actually thought about everyone in the LGBTQ+ spectrum and they also host transgender holidays. Loving this agency more and more!
Walking Women has already been featured in our Women Only Tours article and they’re back right here!
Aside from all types of walking holidays, they also cater for lesbian travel groups.

Walking Women is a UK travel agency and their trips take you to different places in Europe. When searching for your dream trip, you can search on difficulty level, location, and whether or not the trip is for lesbians!
Olivia is the leading lesbian cruise organisation with many years of experience.
What started out as a cruise travel organisation has grown out to be a full fledged travel agency that still offers lesbian cruises, but also resort accommodation and adventure trips for women.
They are by far the largest and most experienced lesbian travel agency in this list.
To check where the cruises are going this year, have a quick look at their website!
We were able to gather 6 lesbian travel agencies for you. I’m pretty sure that there’s more where that came from, but we still have to find them!
Aside from the specific lesbian travel tours, you can always join a tour with a women only travel group and have a good chance on meeting lesbian women.
A lot of travel agencies for straight travelers are very open-minded and chances are good they will not judge nor discriminate you as a lesbian traveler.

Olivia has had the pleasure of taking nearly 300,000 lesbians and LGBTQ+ women on trips across the world in the last 30 years. We’ve had adventures from the Arctic to the Caribbean, and countless stories to tell. But don’t take our word for it! Here’s what some of our incredible guests have to say about traveling with us.
"Every single trip has been a blast! Olivia isn’t just a travel company, it’s a family. I feel right at home every time I travel with them. It’s definitely a magical experience. I look forward to many more great adventures with Olivia. #beautifultogether"

The cruise industry has come a long way, not merely acknowledging but embracing its gay and lesbian passengers and LGBTQ travel. It's really no surprise, given there is data suggesting that the percentage of gay and lesbian travelers who take cruises is the same as – or even slightly higher than – the percentage of heterosexual travelers who cruise.
Gay and lesbian cruise passengers haven't been shy about their enthusiasm, either. There are now dozens of Facebook pages and online forums, such as Cruise Critics' Gay and Lesbian Cruisers board , where information about cruise lines is readily shared. That enthusiasm isn't limited to the virtual world, as many gay and lesbian passengers are much more comfortable, compared to just a few years ago, with being open about their sexual orientation while onboard, and quick to call out incidences of perceived homophobia by fellow passengers or cruise-line staff.
In short, the gay and lesbian market is one the cruise industry cannot ignore. As a result, nearly every cruise line has adopted policies banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, with a growing number also including gender identity. Indeed, many are proactively marketing to gay and lesbian travelers through traditional advertising, social media, onboard programming and sponsorships of LGBTQ events and organizations.
Along with this increasing openness of cruise lines, the options for gay and lesbian cruisers have never been better. There are exclusive all-gay and all-lesbian charters hosted by companies such as Atlantis Events, RSVP Vacations, Brand g Vacations, Olivia and VACAYA; non-exclusive cruises for gay and lesbian groups through travel agencies such as Pied Piper Travel; and, of course, the ability to book directly with a preferred cruise line.
The following list highlights nine gay- and lesbian-welcoming cruise lines, illustrating a rainbow of cruise travel opportunities that are bound to suit nearly any taste.
Accommodating approximately 700 guests each, Azamara's four ships – Azamara Journey , Azamara Quest , Azamara Pursuit and Azamara Onward – are very appealing to travelers seeking a more intimate experience. Another of the line's strengths is its "Destination Immersion" program, which means longer port stays, affording passengers an opportunity to more fully explore and experience destinations. The line has been known to “roll out the rainbow carpet”, hosting parties where the ship's mast dons the Pride flag in certain welcoming ports such as Amsterdam. Azamara gets a great deal of praise for its inclusive amenities such as select alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, gratuities and self-service laundry.
Azamara has been extremely proactive in marketing to LGBTQ travelers, and its ships are frequently booked for gay and lesbian group travel.
What Cruise Critic members are saying: "We have always had a wonderful time on Azamara! They are always very gay friendly." ( Phxazzcruisers )
Special notes: Azamara has been extremely proactive in marketing to LGBTQ travelers, and its ships are frequently booked for gay and lesbian group travel.
Providing the "best aspects of classic, elegant cruising and updating them to reflect current lifestyles'' is Celebrity Cruises' goal – and it meets it well. Celebrity became the first-ever cruise line to legally marry same-sex couples at sea in 2018. Celebrity's newer Edge Class (about 3,000 passengers), Solstice Class (about 2,850 passengers) and its older, refurbished Millennium Class (about 2,150 passengers) ships are very popular. Travelers are frequently drawn to Celebrity for its ships' upscale decor, spacious standard cabins and high level of personalized service.
What Cruise Critic members are saying: "I've always found Celebrity extraordinary in the way gay people (really any people) are treated." ( johhnnyt )
Special notes: Part of Royal Caribbean Group, Celebrity sponsors LGBTQ Pride events during summer sailings with specialty entertainment including DJs, drag queens, and beloved queer icons. Celebrity has also gone out of its way to focus on inclusivity and diversity in its advertising campaigns.
The operator of Queen Elizabeth (2,058 passengers), Queen Mary 2 (2,600) and Queen Victoria (2,014), Cunard dates back to 1840 and embraces the "Golden Era" of cruising. Every cruise includes afternoon tea served by white-gloved stewards. Among Cunard's most popular offerings are its iconic transatlantic crossings aboard Queen Mary 2.
What Cruise Critic members are saying: "In general, I find Cunard to be the most gay-friendly cruise line sailing today." ( eroller )
Special notes: Cunard has been a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign and has a long history of partnering with LGBTQ travel agencies for full charters and group bookings.
A sister cruise line to Cunard, Holland America also offers a traditional cruising experience with modern touches. HAL's fleet ranges from th
