Olivia Revolutionized Travel for Lesbians: Here's How

  • How the Women of Olivia Changed The World of Travel

In 1990, when Olivia — then a venerable lesbian music company — chartered its very first ocean voyage, only one cruise line would lease a ship to a bunch of queer women. “On so many levels we were seen as scary,” Olivia’s founder Judy Dlugacz recalls. “First homophobia, then not believing women could charter a ship, and they were also afraid about what the religious community would think of their companies chartering to gay people. Also, the crew had to be totally in the closet or be afraid of losing their jobs.”

Since then, “we have changed the travel industry and impacted women all over the world!” Dlugacz says. And indeed, examples abound of how the pioneering company made history and changed the world of travel. In 1993,  Olivia  visited the Greek island of Lesbos, in what Dlugacz has called, “probably the largest lesbian pilgrimage in a few millennia.”

Six years later, when docking in Turkey , an Olivia cruise was met by protestors who objected to the queer passengers. Over a thousand women disembarked anyway and infused so much cash into the local economy that by the next port they were greeted with signs proclaiming “Welcome, Ladies of Olivia!” and Turkish newspapers heralded the “wonderful women” who helped revive the tourist industry post-Kosovo War.

“We are amazing ambassadors wherever we go,” Dlugacz notes (pictured). “Meeting people who never saw so many women much less lesbians and LGBTQ + women having so much fun together. It is contagious and we have helped to change the way the world sees this very invisible population.”

Olivia founder Judy Dlugacz

Over the decades, Olivia cruises have hosted author summits and film festivals, leadership trips with icons like Billie Jean King, and tennis clinics with Martina Navratilova. The former recording label continued its musical legacy by booking stars like the Indigo Girls, Heart, k.d. lang, and Melissa Etheridge.

Today, Olivia Travel is the most influential queer women’s travel company in the world. “Our team and our guests represent an amazing cross-section of our community,” boasts Dlugacz, who says Olivia’s guests range from their 30s to 70s and reflect numerous ethnicities, racial identities, and international connections.

“Since we started Olivia Travel, we have taken well over 350,000 women on vacations around the world,” Dlugacz says. “So many women never traveled outside of the U.S. before Olivia because of how insecure it was to travel as two women. Now we go everywhere with brand new travelers and well-seasoned adventurers. For lesbians and LGBTQ+ women in particular [cruising] is a great way to see the world with a community of friends,” Dlugacz says. “It is also a very secure way for women to travel.”

LGBTQ+ travelers face more than taunts or outright discrimination when they travel — violence is always a possibility, especially for women, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming folks. Singles, couples, and small groups are at more risk than a ship full of queer women. There is safety in numbers and in the way Olivia vets every port and excursion operator before partnering with them. That kind of power and security can be intoxicating and it’s one of the reasons that Olivia cruises can feel so life changing.

There really is something special about being on a boat where women outnumber men 100 to one and the majority of passengers and crew are queer. (“It’s like taking off a tight shoe,” Dlugacz jokes.) It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Until it isn’t. After going on one Olivia cruise many guests return, again and again. (I’ve been on eight myself.)

“The LGBTQ+ women who come with us have an extraordinary experience, unlike any other,” Dlugacz adds. “I always welcome our guests at the gangway and say, ‘Welcome to the way the world should be!’ [There’s a] comfort and freedom knowing we are the majority and thus the norm. When you step on an Olivia cruise or resort or any of our trips, you can feel that sense of excitement and delight and for whatever number of days you are with us, there is a fresh sense of empowerment for all.”

The cruise industry has grown enormously in the past three decades. “When Olivia started cruising, the largest ships were 1,250 passengers,” Dlugacz muses. “Now they are over 5,000. But the good news is there is a lot of diversity in terms of size of ships, types of ships, and where we can go.”

Olivia charters cruise ships that can carry up to 2,200 passengers, riverboats (up to 180) in Europe and the U.S., and adventure cruises (up to 100) in the Galapagos, Antarctica, and the Sea of Cortez. The company also does resort buyouts in Mexico and the Caribbean and land-based adventures in Patagonia and Machu Picchu .

In the coming year, Olivia is planning 33 trips — mostly riverboats. But the itinerary also includes Windstar sail trips in Tahiti, resorts in Turks and Caicos and Nuevo Vallarta, and small luxury cruises to Iceland, Greece , Cyprus, and Israel.

As the world learns to live with the pandemic, travel has rebounded. In fact, business is booming. Dlugacz says, “We are seeing a huge increase in new guests on all of our vacations. We have yet to do a large cruise [since the pandemic started] and the first will be our 50th Celebrations to the Caribbean. Everything we are doing is selling out.”

In 2023 Olivia is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a company, and Dlugacz says it’s planning “blowout experiences,” including two cruises to the Caribbean and a buyout of a five-star resort in Cabo San Lucas. She says, “Next year promises to be Olivia’s biggest year in her history.”

Dlugacz says of her crew, “We get better at everything we do every time we travel.” Those who’ve been on previous cruises will still find something new to experience on Olivia. “More and more new talent, some wonderful new ships and itineraries you’ve never done before…[and] an even more diverse group of passengers!”

Olivia Timeline: From Grassroots to World’s Largest Lesbian Travel Company

1975: Meg Christian records the first album under the Olivia label, Meg Christian: I Know You Know . That same year, Cris Williamson’s recording The Changer and the Changed launches her to prominence as a female recording artist. The album is among the best-selling independent albums of all time.

1977: Olivia produces a groundbreaking album called Lesbian Concentrate in response to Anita Bryant’s anti-homosexual campaign in Florida. It is the first anthology of music by lesbian recording artists.

1982 : For Olivia’s 10th anniversary, Williamson and Christian perform two sold-out shows for 5,600 women at Carnegie Hall. At the time, the concert is the largest single-grossing event since the hall’s creation in 1891.

I used to LOVE Olivia! When the going gets tough, the TRUTH comes out. After 6 trips with them, I'm finished! Never again. This is a GREEDY Company that takes advantage of its loyal Customers. They won't work with me even though my original trip was CANCELED! They lied to all of us. No refunds! Forced to rebook or lose the money then that trip was "postponed ". Save your money and don't book with Olivia!

Photo of Marla K.

I've been traveling with Olivia for many, many years. 100% FUN!! They really know how to pack a great time with music, comedy, dancing, adventures, and discovery. I was lucky to have shared the great times openly with my partner on both the cruises and at the resorts. I can't wait for the next one!

Photo of M K.

I see the 1 star reviews and I get the frustration of cancellations during the pandemic but let me clarify. The Olivia Team is amazing, commutative, and worked very hard and sacrificed during the pandemic like most of us had to. It is not actually expense when you experience the value for your money...the curation of vendors who celebrate us queer Olivians, the entertainment day and night, the celebration of cultures and protection of lands visited...and then there's the community and sense of belonging I was 1 of 600 lesbians who descended upon the Dreams Tulum Resort in Mexico last week and I'll never be the same It was like a parallel universe where I felt so accepted, safe, and carefree all day everyday. #oliviatravel #beautifultogether

Have travel with Olivia Cruise/Travel over 6 times and love the inclusive in environment they provide. This is a women's only travel platform that caters to women. I have found that they work with you, are compassionate, kind and caring. During COVID-19 the company took a major hit with having to cancel trips for the obvious reasons. Other countries were not allowing travel. They ask members that had scheduled trips to work with them to reschedule their trips instead of canceling. Well most people supported the company but then there are other people that wanted a refund and that was all they wanted. I get that...but you don't want to put the only company that supports women only travel to go belly up because you are not flexible. That is what I see when reading some of the other reviews that are name calling and bad mouthing Olivia. Other travel cruise companies Royal Caribbean, Oceana, Celebrity, Holland American and so on also asked you to rebook instead of money back. I know each person has the right to leave feedback, but when you slam a company it definitely hurts the company and does not do any good. So that is why I am writing this review for others to see about how good over all Olivia is to women, and to say thousands of women have supported this company and will continue to do so in the future. For what it is worth.

I was booked for an Olivia cruise that was supposed to depart on April 23, 2020 (the Pacific Coastal). I've never been treated so terribly by a company. When it first became clear that coronavirus might prevent the trip from happening, email communications were very sparse and Olivia refused to transfer trips or provide refunds. Eventually, transfers were offered but refunds were still denied. We received a few emails from Judy that were rambling, didn't address our concerns, and offered no solutions. When the trip was eventually "postponed," I was never even notified. They then told us to "be patient" and allow 4-6 weeks to hear back from a customer service representative, who eventually sent the same email to all of us saying that they would not be issuing refunds. I could not believe how unprofessional the entire experience was. It is now August 2020, and they still refuse to refund us for a trip that is obviously not going to take place, no matter how long it is "postponed" for. The ship we were supposed to travel on is being decommissioned next year. They deleted the Facebook page for the trip, so we have no way of knowing what's going on and have no way of staying in touch with the other women we had hoped to meet on the trip. We are completely in the dark. I have heard many glowing things about Olivia cruises, which is why I booked the trip in the first place. But treating your customers so unprofessionally and so...to be honest, cruelly, isn't something I can support. Unless the management of this company drastically changes, I would urge folks to steer clear of Olivia.

Photo of Karen S.

Don't trust Olivia with your money. When Covid hit, they didn't handle canceled trips in an upfront way--there was little communication, and at the end of it they are keeping our money (thousands of dollars), saying that our trip is "postponed" even though it is clearly canceled. I have little hope of getting back any of our money. They gave us a credit, but there is nothing for us to use that credit on that is in any way similar to the trip we hoped to go on. They've avoided communicating with us on the issue. I will never trust them again, and if I do manage to use my credits I will spend that trip telling everyone I can talk to how unethical they are.

Photo of Lynda M.

Great destinations, amazing entertainment, the charter the entire boat so there is no "mingling" with non-Olivia travelers. I have been on over twenty of their vacations/cruises/adventures (that's how much I love them) and have never had anything other than a 5-star experience.

Photo of Marian C.

Truly the best!! Extraordinary customer service, one-of-a-kind vacation experience CANNOT be replicated else where. It's like one big family. Yes, their vacations are pricey, but TRUST ME...it's for a good reason. You absolutely get your monies worth, every cent.
