Olivia has had the pleasure of taking nearly 300,000 lesbians and LGBTQ+ women on trips across the world in the last 30 years. Weāve had adventures from the Arctic to the Caribbean, and countless stories to tell. But donāt take our word for it! Hereās what some of our incredible guests have to say about traveling with us.
"I have been trying to explain this feeling to friends and family. They just donāt quite get it because they havenāt experienced it. This was my first Olivia cruise at 65 years young and I already scheduled another. For the first time in my LIFE I felt I could totally relax and be me, without the stares, comments and judgmental looks! THANK YOU OLIVIA!!!"" (50th Anniversary Caribbean Cruise)

"Weāve made some wonderful and long-lasting friendships on Olivia trips. On virtually every trip we have connected with interesting women from every state in the U.S. and around the world. We love the feeling of safety and comfort we know we can count on."

"Love you, love you all. I could never have believed the supportive and welcoming environment on board an Olivia ship until I was there."

"I believed vacations were about resting before I went to my first Olivia Resort. Now I know that you can rest when you're home and 4 hours is enough sleep! Olivia vacations make you want to wake up at 7am and go to sleep at 3am. You really don't want to miss a thing."

"About to go on our fourth Olivia vacation! We're definitely hooked! So much freedom, so much fun!"

"So, even though we know that traveling with Olivia costs a bit more, we think itās totally worth it and have never regretted a trip. Weāve also travelled independently and with much smaller groups. Although these other trips have also been wonderful and rewarding, we love what Olivia offers and the places itās taken us. Priceless."

" For One Week: For one week, my wife didnāt fear being yelled at that she was in the wrong bathroom when she entered the womenās room. For one week, we could hold hands in public without fear. For one week, I didnāt have to say I have a wife, NOT a husband if someone noticed my wedding ring.

" For One Week: For one week, my wife didnāt fear being yelled at that she was in the wrong bathroom when she entered the womenās room. For one week, we could hold hands in public without fear. For one week, I didnāt have to say I have a wife, NOT a husband if someone noticed my wedding ring. For one week, we made incredible friendships with women who share our lived experiences and who invited us into their homes and lives. For one beautiful amazing week we were surrounded by the best in woman-identified culture. For one week, we felt loved, safe, and seen. Then Sunday came way too fast and we were back in the real world. Judy tried to prepare us Olivia-virgins for how hard re-entry would be, but it is 4:30 am on Wednesday morning and I canāt sleep because I feel so sad to no longer have all that we had for one precious week. Thank you #oliviatravel for giving us that one life-changing week. We will be back!"(50th Anniversary Caribbean Cruise)
"I love the trips with Olivia. The staff is outstanding. I love the cruises and weāll as the resorts. I have met so many wonderful people that I consider family."

"Being of the age of so many original Olivia women and having taken a 2005 Olivia cruise to the Caribbean, I will never forget the miracle of being on a ship in the company of hundreds of lesbians. Thank you for your existence and service to our community."

"I had a wonderful time on the cruise! I think I'll do only riverboats from now on. They are so much more intimate and relaxed than a big ship. The way Olivia had all the excursions planned and how flawlessly they all were pulled off was impressive! Letty and Angela were so kind, fun, and helpful...saying thanks to them seemed inadequate for all they did for us. They deserve gold stars!! Than ... Read more

We had the best time and have already told everyone they should go. Every Olivia staff member was pleasant to work with and that couldnāt have been easy to deal with all of us! I was really amazed at how much interaction we had with the entertainment when they werenāt on stage...it was great to see that they too enjoyed being there (and coming back again and again).(Ultimate Alaskan Summer Cruise) ...
