Ultimate Hawaii Spring Break Cruise

March 27 – April 3, 2010
NCL Pride of America

There is no better way to experience Hawaii than on NCL's Pride of America. 4 Islands – 7 days. Join a large group of rFamily guests (400) on the only cruise ship in the world to do Hawaii inter-island with over 100 hours of port time in one week. This is truly one of the ultimate surf and sun vacations where you'll experience every major Hawaiian beach destination.

A true original: everyone is welcome!

R Family Vacations is truly the most inclusive GLBT vacation offered. All of our vacations are designed for gays, lesbians, their families, and their friends. Everyone is welcome — singles, couples without children, couples with children, groups of friends, grandparents, and almost any other family configuration you can think of. We have hosted three-month-old babies and 80-something grandparents.

R entertainment and programming is designed for various age groups. Some exclusively for adults, some just for teens and kids, and some for everyone. We are mindful that our guests are people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and sexual orientation.

On our vacations, there is sincere acceptance. Please join us and experience the GLBT vacation that everyone is talking about. Be a part of r family.

We offer something for everyone on-board

We design all our programs to offer the widest range possible of activities and entertainment for a broad audience. In our everyday lives, most of us have more than just gay friends or lesbian friends, so why can't we travel together, too?

A gay man and a lesbian woman founded the company. Kelli and Gregg are committed to creating vacations that appeal to both communities. On the inaugural cruise, there were workshops and seminars that were developed for gay men, others for gay women, and some for both.

Single travelers are welcome. We offer the opportunity to meet other single travelers with our singles mixers, dinners and special events.

We promise world class entertainment

The entertainment on an R Family Vacation is unlike any you've ever seen on another gay cruise or mainstream vacation. You'll enjoy some of the funniest comedians, some gay, some not; and some of the best music ever heard at sea. The world-class talent brought onboard just for R Family ranges from current Broadway stars to soft rock and pop musicians.

R Family Vacations is the first GLBT travel company to welcome children aboard its cruises. For the teenagers, we have created an incredible week of programming, with entertainment designed just for them. For children with gay parents, an R Family Vacation is a unique opportunity to meet families who are just like theirs' Hundreds of them! Never again will these kids feel like "they are the only ones."

R Family Vacations are like the best family reunion you can imagine

R Family Vacations are also perfect for extended families and friends. On our inaugural cruise, most of our gay and lesbian guests brought parents, cousins, siblings, and friends. This is a unique opportunity to share a vacation where everyone is truly welcome.

Many gay events have a heavy emphasis on partying. We realize that not everyone in the community enjoys all night parties and R Family Vacations is a great alternative to many of the existing travel options.
