All of our vacations are created for gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) travelers, along with straight allies, who enjoy innovative escorted vacations to international spots. None of our current trips are designed for participants under the age of 21.
All of Brand g Vacations will have at least two trip escorts. Depending on the size and location of the program, we will also include signature Brand g entertainment, including cabaret artists, DJs and comedians. The true stars of any Brand g travel program are the travelers themselves. Whether you’re traveling with a partner or interested in making new friends, our trips provide excellent opportunities to explore the world with others that share similar values.
Almost all Brand g Vacations require a passport. It is your responsibility to check with your local immigration office and / or respective embassy or consulate to determine your requirements for passports, visas and other documentation, including vaccinations for infectious diseases. Guests denied boarding by local immigration officials for lack of proper documents are not entitled to a refund. Please contact us with any questions.
All-inclusive can never mean every single thing; but at Brand g, we come as close as possible. Our trips almost inevitably include pre-cruise hotel stay, all transfers, unlimited wine and beer at lunch and dinner onboard, guided walking tours in every port, etc. The specifics for each vacation are listed on the page for that cruise.
Very Little. Of course, each one of our trips is unique therefore inclusions will be specific to each trip. On each trip we have listed exactly what is included as far as meals, beverages, daily activities, as well as excursions.
Yes. Brand g Vacations offers travel insurance as part of a travel protection plan provided by Travel Insured International.

It also includes coverages that can help protect you during your trip, including accident and sickness medical expense coverage. Click here for more details.
We will do everything we can to ensure that dietary requirements are met. Call us at anytime to discuss what your needs are and we will do our best to get you detailed information on what is and is not possible.
Not at all. Depending on the trip, 5-10% of the group will be solo travelers. And we welcome solo travelers with open arms.

We do offer a single supplement on all of our travel programs; however, it may vary depending on the destination. If you’re traveling solo and want to find someone to share a cabin with, why not meet others at our Facebook Group – Care to Share, the place to meet new like minded friends to travel the world with. Our goal with roommate matching is to help facilitate an introduction with other solo travelers prior to your vacation to see if there is compatibility to share a room.

Even the shyest among us end up in group hugs by the end of our cruises. The intimate size (generally 60-150 passengers) provides an opportunity for people to get to know each other in a way not at all possible on large ocean cruises. Countless guests have commented that they aren’t outgoing, and did not anticipate meeting anyone on their cruises, yet made extraordinary new friends – and, in some cases, partners – onboard.
Mainstream river cruises sometimes have the perception that all the guests are well past retirement age. Brand g cruises, on the other hand, host a wide range of ages, from 20’s-80’s. (When we say “inclusive”, we mean it!) The average age is mid-50’s, but on any given cruise there are a number of much younger and older guests. Brand g’s entertainment offerings onboard – from shows to parties – make our cruises, in the words of countless cruise staff, “the most fun group we’ve ever had on this ship”.
