Extraordinary LGBTQ+ Group Travel & Cruise Experiences
Gay Vacation Travel is an LGBTQ+ group travel and event company specializing in hosted cruises, large-scale group vacations, and exclusive charter experiences around the world.
Since 2006, we’ve been creating unforgettable travel experiences designed specifically for the LGBTQ+ community — bringing people together through connection, celebration, and shared adventure. Our focus goes far beyond traditional travel planning. We design, host, and manage immersive group journeys that feel more like a community experience than a typical vacation.
From Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises to European river journeys, themed sailings, and special event travel, Gay Vacation Travel is known for delivering well-organized, high-quality experiences where guests feel welcomed, included, and part of something special.
Our Approach
We specialize in:
- Hosted LGBTQ+ Cruises & Group Sailings
Professionally managed group cruises featuring private events, hosted experiences, and curated onboard programming.
- Large-Scale Group Travel & Signature Events
Multi-departure itineraries and themed group vacations designed to bring together like-minded travellers from around the world.
- Exclusive & Semi-Chartered Experiences
Select sailings and special journeys offering a more private, community-focused atmosphere.
Every trip is thoughtfully planned and personally hosted — allowing our guests to relax, connect, and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about the details.
Leadership & Experience
Gay Vacation Travel was founded by Joe Bermingham, President of JB Executive Travel Inc., an established travel company serving travellers since June 2006.
With nearly two decades of experience hosting LGBTQ+ group travel, Joe has led hundreds of guests on cruises and international journeys across Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. His hands-on leadership, attention to detail, and commitment to guest experience have helped Gay Vacation Travel grow into a trusted name within the LGBTQ+ travel community.
While Joe’s personal involvement is a defining part of the brand, Gay Vacation Travel operates as a full-scale travel company — delivering professionally managed programs, repeat sailings, and multi-year travel offerings.
