OWLs

Older, Wiser, Lesbians

OWL stands for Older, Wiser, Lesbian and OWLs are a vital part of Olivia’s community. Whether you have been traveling with us since the first Olivia vacation 35 years ago or making your first trip, it’s never too late to become part of the Olivia family – and the Olivia OWLs.

We love our OWLs, and we have special meetups on our cruises and at resorts to help you connect, share stories, and forge new friendships. Grab breakfast with the OWLs or pop into one of our special OWLs cocktail hours and share your unique experiences among Olivia family.

OWLs meetups are typically for women 60 and over, but all are welcome, especially if you are supporting or traveling with an OWL. What a hoot!

Oral History: Edie Windsor and the Fight for Marriage Equality

Edie Windsor (June 20, 1929 – September 12, 2017) was a trailblazing LGBTQ+ rights activist and a pioneering technology manager at IBM. She bravely stood as the lead plaintiff in the landmark 2013 Supreme Court case, United States v. Windsor, which overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act.

This monumental victory marked a turning point for the marriage equality movement in the U.S., leading to the extension of vital rights, privileges, and benefits to married same-sex couples by the Obama administration and federal agencies.

Edie's courage and resilience continue to inspire the fight for equality.
