Newlyweds Celebrate Aboard Olivia

Olivia Offers Wedding Services and Honeymoon All-In-One

San Francisco – June 18, 2008 – Instead of going to the chapel, leading lesbian travel and entertainment company, Olivia, is offering couples the chance to celebrate California’s recent same-sex marriage ruling at sea. Olivia will host a special wedding ceremony and reception for couples before setting sail on Olivia’s Women in Music and Sports Mexican Riviera Cruise, Oct 4-11.

“This landmark decision marks a new era for the gay and lesbian community — and is one that our customers and couples should richly celebrate,” said Olivia General Manager Lisa Henderson.

Olivia will host a special wedding ceremony at the Hard Rock San Diego, the night before they sail off on the Women in Music and Sports Mexican Riviera Cruise. Once on board, everyone will join in a Champagne Celebration toasting the happy couples in legally wedded bliss. Couples who take advantage of the special Honeymoon Suite and Celebration Package will be pampered in Olivia's Honeymoon Suite with a full-size whirlpool and spacious verandah, dinner for two at the romantic Pinnacle Grill, flowers, champagne and memorable photos of this milestone occasion.

a New and Broader Lesbian Community

SAN FRANCISCO (April 28, 2008) — Leisha Hailey, LGBT icon, cast member of Showtime’s “The L Word” and member of successful rock duo Uh Huh Her, strikes a new chord within the lesbian community as the new spokesperson for Olivia, the leading lesbian travel and entertainment company.

Hailey has signed a multi-faceted contract to be featured as the new face of Olivia in print advertisements, commercials and online media to begin this year. Olivia will also feature Hailey in some of its vacation and entertainment packages.

“Leisha is deservedly the out ‘it girl’ today and appeals to a broad spectrum of women, especially those in the lesbian community. It was important to us to work with an individual who reinforces Olivia’s entertainment value as well as being hip, fun and approachable,” said Olivia General Manager Lisa Henderson. “Leisha will appear both as a personality and musician on select Olivia trips. This relationship reinforces Olivia’s expanded image and reach in the community.”
