| What make RSVP so extraordinary?
Oh, where to begin?!
Camaraderie – It's great! There is nothing quite
like it. We gays, lesbians and our families have such
a knack at having a good time and experiencing life
fully. When we get together the result is phenomenal.
Together in a vacation adventure, older and younger,
men and women, couples and singles, party boyz n girlz
and wallflowers, RSVP creates an atmosphere where differences
become insignificant, and camaraderie prevails.
| "...it's
incredible to be with
so many gay and lesbian people
in a great environment. I made
lots of new friends that I'm sure
to have for a long time."

Freedom – Whether you live in the center of
the Castro, or rural Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, experiencing
the freedom to be yourself at an RSVP all gay and lesbian
vacation is refreshing and rejuvenating. Though we
come from all parts of the world, all walks of life,
we have the shared experience of being a minority.
RSVP offers the freedom to celebrate all that we are
as individuals.
Everyone Is Welcome – This isn't a small group
thing. RSVP takes the whole ship or resort so all guests
are part of the RSVP vacation event. Typically, over
99% of the guests are gay or lesbian. Parents, family
and friends are welcome, and the experience can be
just as enriching for them as it is for us!
Letting Loose – Some gay group vacations take
only a few cabins or rooms at a ship or resort. Not
so for RSVP. That means you can be yourself. A simple
gesture, such as holding your partner's hand, does
not become a big event. The freedom to be yourself
on an RSVP vacation is rejuvenating for your spirit.
| "Being
a country boy living in a small town in Arkansas,
I have to be really careful in who I tell. The
moment I stepped on the ship a weight was lifted
from my shoulders. It was like a different person
was there. I was free! All worries about someone
knowing were gone. I could be myself. I have
opened up a new way of life and I love it!"

Creating the Perfect Place – We've been around,
and we've listened to our guests. We've got the whole
place to ourselves so we re-create it to make it the
perfect gay and lesbian vacation. We may change the
itinerary. We alter the activities to suit your tastes.
On most of our events we replace the entertainers with
our own. We've produced over five hundred shows and
have included fabulous entertainers and supporters
of our community such as Harvey Fierstein, Lannie Garret,
Betty Buckley, Lainie Kazan, Nel Carter, Joan Rivers
and of course our own incredible host Danny Williams.
RSVP supplements the resort or ship staff with our
own crew. Our friendly crew facilitates our specially
created events to make sure you'll have a great time.
Though other gay and lesbian companies have tried to
mimic us, and even the straight tour operators try
their best to have as much fun, there's nothing quite
like RSVP's way of creating the time of your life.
Our Club RSVP and large ship cruises include costume
and toga parties, dating and newlywed games, tea-dances,
disco, and country dances, theme parties and our famous
pool games. We feature commitment ceremonies and special
guest speakers on our large ship charters. In 1999
the noted rights activist Barbara Gittings sailed with
us.
If you're still unsure about how unique our vacations
are, ask your travel agent, check out our videos or
give us a call. You won't want to miss this part of
your journey on this planet! |
