New to Olivia?
Welcome Home!
There’s something special about your first Olivia trip. There's truly nowhere else in the world where you can look around and realize that you are completely in the company of LGBTQ+ Women, on a trip that is curated for your interests, with artists and comedians from your community, in a beautiful new place that somehow feels like home. You’ll feel it in the way people make space for you, in the easy conversations, in the attention you get from our amazing on-trip staff, and the sense you feel that you’ve arrived exactly where you’re meant to be. Who you are is not just accepted on an Olivia trip, it's celebrated!
On select trips, dedicated New Olivian Coordinators are there to guide the way. They host meetups where new faces become familiar friends. It’s a relaxed way to get your bearings, ask questions, and step into the experience with confidence. We’ve designed the New Olivian experience so you can settle in quickly and just enjoy being a part of it (in whatever way makes you happy) from the very beginning.
You’ll also receive a pink New Olivian bracelet. It’s a small detail that carries meaning. It lets others know this is your first trip, and you’ll often find it opens doors to conversations, invitations, and a few extra smiles along the way.
For 35 years we've taken well over 360,000 guests on over 400 trips, so we know what we're doing! Get ready to experience the world "as it should be". Where YOU belong.

Olivia Gives Back: Sustainability
Olivia Gives Back transforms every trip into meaningful actions. We plan a tree for every guest, staff member, and artist on every trip, carbon offset staff travel, and partner with local and global nonprofits to support reforestation, uplifting women, rescuing wildlife, and creating a ripple of positive impact that goes far beyond your journey.
Planning Something Special
From birthdays and honeymoons to new beginnings—we’re here to help you celebrate your story.
Beautiful Together
“Beautiful Together” isn’t just our theme song—it’s the heart of every Olivia trip. It’s a reminder that when we travel as our full selves, in community, we create something truly extraordinary—together.
Who You Travel With Matters
Olivia began as a women’s record label amplifying lesbian voices—a culture-shifting legacy that lives at the heart of who we are. In 1990, we started bringing that same spirit to travel, creating joyful, affirming experiences for LGBTQ+ women around the world.
Every Olivia vacation is a full take-over of the ship or resort, which means every moment is curated for YOU.
All Day, All Night
By day, you’ll feel the freedom of being yourself in a space that’s entirely yours, with a thoughtful mix of activities, excursions, community programming, and plenty of time to relax or explore.
Evenings at Olivia come alive with unforgettable entertainment, from music and comedy to performances by world-class queer talent and allies.
