As night falls, we’ll take you for a Spanish Drag Queen show over dinner, then set out into Madrid’s (in)famous gay nightlife on a—guaranteed to be eventful—bar crawl in the gayborhood. We’ll also visit Toledo, a stunning medieval city and former Spanish capital, and Segovia, home to a legendary Roman aqueduct, a fairy-tale castle, and some quirky traditions—you’ll have to see to believe!

Gay Travel Guide to Provincetown
Just 90 minutes away from Boston is a tiny seaside town on the tip of Cape Cod that has as much history as it does gay culture.

American history aside, P-Town, like many popular, small gay getaways, has been completely taken over by the LGBTQ+ community. With a population of about 3,000, the small New England getaway boasts 40+ gay guesthouses, 10+ gay bars and clubs, and 2 gay beaches, which fill to bursting point for the dozen or more LGBTQ+ events that happen during the summer and fall months.

Miami, Cozumel and Bimini: Two Bad Tourists’ Caribbean Adventures (Part Two)
The Caribbean sells itself, really: perpetual sunshine, powder-white beaches, swaying palms, crystalline waters, and endless adventure opportunities. So it’s no surprise that, after the success of our last cruise in tropical waters, our guests voted to return as part of the 5 Nights in the Riviera Maya cruise from January 11–16, 2026. This time our route will take us from Miami to Cozumel (Playa del Carmen), where Mexico makes sweet love to the Caribbean, and then round to Virgin Voyages’ Beach Club at Bimini for a pool party, adventure sports, and plenty of cocktails. Virgin Voyages is LGBTQ+-friendly, adult-only, and has cruising down to a fine art. You can expect feisty entertainment, award-winning cuisine, and themed parties that bring the house (or should that be boat) down! Benefits of being part of our gay group include excursions, group dinners, cocktail parties, special events, and more. Don’t wait and book yourself some Caribbean action now!
