Seven Days, Three Spanish Cities, One Big Family!

“De Madrid al Cielo” (“From Madrid to Heaven”), as the locals say—a bold claim that places Madrid second only to Heaven itself. Come decide for yourself by joining us for seven unforgettable days in Spain, September 17–23, 2026, as we explore Madrid, Toledo, and Segovia.

Over five days in Madrid, we’ll immerse you in Spanish history, art, and culture with visits to the city’s most heavenly sites, including the Reina Sofía Museum, home to Picasso’s iconic Guernica. You’ll savor delicious tapas on a guided tasting tour, experience the spicy energy of a Spanish drag performance, and dive into the nightlife of Madrid’s local gayborhood.

Beyond the capital, we’ll whisk you away on two day trips to the historic cities of Toledo and Segovia, where you’ll discover ancient cathedrals, medieval streets, and culinary traditions that have withstood the test of time—more on that below! Come explore our home and discover whether Heaven is truly a place on Earth… and whether that place is Madrid.

SPECIAL OFFER!

For solo travelers: the price of the trip is $2,295 per person. Solo travelers who book by December 31, 2025, can also get a private room for the same price, with no single supplement.

Chart a Course for Connection with MeetMeOnBoard

Cruise ships bring out the best in people. There’s something about being at sea that allows everyone to be their most authentic selves—a true gift for LGBTQ+ individuals. MeetMeOnboard is a free app designed to help you make connections aboard cruise ships, even before you step on board. Simply download the app, then join a cruise you have already booked, or let the MeetMeOnboard team guide you through the booking process. From there, you’ll be able to see all your fellow LGBTQ+ “Cruisemates” who have signed up for the same cruise, giving you the chance to connect and chat with them before your adventure begins. On their app, any cruiser can host or join LGBTQ+ events, such as boarding day meet-and-greets, group excursions, meals, or maybe even a sneaky martini happy hour or two.

Updates to the app will soon include solo cabin share requests, an LGBTQ+ cruise calendar, group chats, and photo sharing - making mixing with 6,000+ app cruisers even easier!
