Are you ready for the largest lesbian cruises yet? Olivia Travel’s 40th Anniversary Southern Caribbean Cruises set sail January 27 – February 3, 2013 and February 3-10, 2013 from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to celebrate this momentous occasion. Want to be part of the biggest lesbian celebrations afloat? Hop onboard Holland America’s luxurious Nieuw Amsterdam with the women of Olivia.
Before Olivia could even announce these landmark sailings to the public, the first ship of 2,100 passengers was 90% sold out. Part of the attraction is that the ship is filled with women so you can be out and free the entire week; Olivia always charters the whole ship. “Even if you are out all the time in the world, there’s nothing like being in the majority every minute of every day on your vacation,” said Judy Dlugacz, President and Founder of Olivia.
Part of Olivia’s allure is the entertainment and activities, from lesbian comedians and bands, to top DJs, wet-n-wacky pool games, and poker tournaments. And they’ve certainly pulled out all the stops for their 40th Anniversary. Presenting over 20 recording artists and comedians, as well as soon-to-be-announced speakers and prominent DJs, this will be the greatest festival of talent ever to perform on an Olivia cruise.
The cruises will also feature parties, dances, incredible excursions like swimming with dolphins and ATV rides, a singles/solos program, a commitment ceremony for couples, and much more. “This is the biggest celebration of our community that Olivia has produced to date. It will be a giant reunion, celebration, entertainment extravaganza and tropical vacation all rolled into one,” remarked Tisha Floratos, Olivia’s Vice President of Travel.
Of course, there are also the gorgeous Southern Caribbean ports. Half Moon Cay, Bahamas is a private island that will belong to the women of Olivia for the day. Playing on white sandy beaches, floating in bright blue Caribbean waters, and a little friendly competition during
the “Olivia Olympics” make for a fabulous day.
Willemstad, Curacao is another highlight, with vivid, sherbet-colored buildings, upscale shopping, and optional excursions. Oranjestad, Aruba’s alabaster beaches make for yet another fantastic day surrounded by women. There are lots of fun optional excursions, too, like a catamaran snorkel & beach getaway...
