Newsletter 246: LGBTQ+ Morocco Tour, 2025 Group Trips to Europe + Gay Guide to Puerto Rico & More

Unveiling An LGBTQ+ Morocco with Inclusive Morocco

Morocco is a land of mystique, where ocean meets desert in a mosaic of blue and gold. It’s a country of contrasts, where one day you can ride camels through vast dunes, the next, haggle in bustling medina markets, and later watch sunsets over the Atlas Mountains. But for LGBTQ+ travelers, it can sometimes feel inaccessible. Enter Inclusive Morocco, a bespoke trip creator recognized by Condé Nast Traveler that is focused on LGBTQ+ inclusivity! From April 5–16, 2025, they’re gathering a small group for their Grand Morocco LGBTQ+ Tour, a journey deep into Morocco's heart. You’ll connect with the local LGBTQ+ community as you explore cosmopolitan Casablanca, artistic Tangier, ancient Fez, and vibrant Marrakech, before concluding with a night in the Agafay Desert. Expect sunset camel rides, gay history tours, stays in gay-friendly luxury hotels, and much more. Come forge memories as timeless as the deserts themselves. You can hear more about Inclusive Morocco from Bilal, one of its co-founders, on our podcast, Podcast Queer Travel Chat.

Being Good ‘Bad Tourists’ in Barcelona and Sitges

They say three is a crowd, but a group is a good time - so why not join our 7 Days in Spain gay group trip on May 14-20, 2025. Together we’ll spend four nights in Barcelona and three in the gay-friendly coastal town of Sitges. This will also be the fourth time we've hosted this exact trip so we've perfected the itinerary and have curated all the best places to visit, restaurants to eat at, gay bars to sip cocktails at and more. We’ll take a dynamic range of tours through the city center, Gaudi Houses, Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. By night we’ll introduce you to the city’s lively LGBTQ+ nightlife through drag shows and the best gay bars. On the second half of the tour we’ll relax in the picturesque coastal town of Sitges, where gay expats blend with the locals as if they were one of the same. 

EXTENDED SPECIAL OFFER FOR SOLO TRAVELERS!

The price of the trip is $2,095 per person. Solo travelers who book by November 30, 2024 (extended!) can also get a private room for the same price, with no single supplement. Hurry, starting December 1 solo travelers will be charged an extra fee.

Gay Tours to Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and the Caribbean in 2025

Since 2018, we’ve been hosting our own gay sailing trips each summer. Our first trip took place in Croatia, and the following year, we sailed through the Greek Islands. Since then, we’ve hosted hundreds of guests on unforgettable summer adventures. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to announce a brand-new Virgin Voyages cruise from Miami through the Caribbean. And after last year’s overwhelming success, we’ll also be hosting two land tours in Spain, where we’ll explore Barcelona and Sitges, as well as Madrid, Toledo, and Segovia. All of our friends and followers are invited to join any (or all!) of these trips! Want to learn more?

Gay Travel Guide to Puerto Rico

The crystal-clear waters, swaying palm trees, and pristine beaches of the Caribbean need little introduction. You already know they are sheer perfection! Puerto Rico is where you go to dip your toes into their waters, proverbial and otherwise. This gorgeous little island, just south of the southern tip of the U.S., is self-governing but technically a territory of the U.S., making it an easy trip from the States—the currency is dollars, and American travelers won't even need a visa.
